If the Toronto Blue Jays didn't exist and Vancouver was the sole Canadian MLB team, I'd probably be a Tigers fan. I can't fault anyone in Vancouver for having a west coast team, I don't expect them to fall in line behind the sole Canadian team from thousands of miles away. I certainly don't default to last Canadian team in the Stanley Cup all the time, although I did this past year.
What I wouldn't be doing is going on message groups and saying "Fuck Vancouver" if they happened to be playing another team in my time zone. It doesn't hurt me if some anti-fan makes comments, it just makes me smile knowing they have nothing to cheer for. My Sens fans friends are like this, they think shit talking Toronto after the Sens are gone is going to be a good jab or something. Sorry, not bothered. Your team gets ahead of mine like they did once a couple decades ago, then you can trash talk with effect. Picking up a new team to cheer for just because you don't like the other team doesn't give you bragging rights. So, this guy upthread, who I've barely heard of and would have to scroll up to get their name again, can go on all they want, it doesn't even rise up to trash talk.
