If Clippers fans had the arrogance of Lakers fans, they'd be Leafs fans.
I'd rather see Detroit or Colorado blinked from existence somehow, but the Leafs are a not terribly distant 3rd. And while I acknowledge that my hatred of the first 2 is exclusively due to my status as a Blues fan, I thought hating the Maple Leafs was pretty much universal among all hockey fans.

Much like the Cowboys, I don't pay enough attention to sports media to really care about the Leafs, but at some point even the memes get tired.... between NFL_Memes' annual cycle of 2 or 3 Cowboys memes and the same on reddit for the Leafs (the former is more obnoxious since it's 12 months/year).
The only defense I'd give for Leafs fans in recent years is they should legitimately be pissed off at this point... everyone
knows the Cowboys aren't all that great and that you can fake a good season in the NFL, but you just don't fake a 69 goal season and that level of talent, just to annually not even show up in the playoffs.
Winning in the postseason is ****ing hard, but the annual lack of urgency would be like getting ~2018-2020 Chiefs offense every regular season just to see Christmas Day every... damn... postseason.
(and they're probably not a Cup team at any point in recent years with their goaltending and defense, but still)
