I hate Carolina

Re: I hate Carolina

Hell, the Buffalo transplants are the only thing good about that city!

If the Canes and their fans suck so bad, then what would you call the Sabres and their fans? Pathetic is the term that comes to mind.

Nope, it would be - knowledgable, true fans, and not bandwagon fans...unlike that entire city.

I'm sure there are SOME good hockey fans in Carolina. They can't all be redneck neckcar fans. Their team certainly seems to know how to play (and has the players that can do it) playoff hockey.

You obviously know nothing about Raleigh and the surrounding areas. I guess we have to bandwagon fans since the Canes have only been around since May of 1997.

We arent knowledgable because they havent been around that long? Whats funny is that the majority of the people in the Raleigh area are from all over the country, including myself, so to say that we arent "true" fans is ignorant.

DOnt be jealous just because the Canes have done more in their short time in Carolina than the Sabres have done in their entire existence.

I know plenty about the area and have many friends down there. They all tell me how terrible the fanbase is there and that people have no idea what the hell they're talking about. Trust me, I'm not the only person who feels this way...it's common knowledge amongst the national media and reported as such. Don't get pissed because the truth hurts sometimes.

Oh, by the way, didn't see you in here much until they were in the finals. Umm, that is kind of like a bandwagon fan.

Im not pissed at all, loving the fact that my team, bandwagon or not, is in the Eastern Conference finals! The truth is that the Hurricanes have tons of support, and i have been here a long time. You should be pissed at the fact that the Sabres have an inept front office that will never get their crap together to win a title.

Signed,

THis bandwagon Hurricanes fan with a Stanley Cup to be proud of!

if all those fans had been around since 1997 you'd have a point, but most jumped on board in '06 when they won the Cup. Hell, the Canes couldn't even sell out their playoff games that year after they got down a couple of games. That's how fairweather those mother****ers are. The Sabres haven't made the playoffs in 2 years and still get better than 18,000 a game and sell out most games. And they had 95% season ticket renewal. How exactly is the fan base "pathetic?" Wait til Carolina misses the playoffs two years in a row and see how empty that arena is.

We are pissed about that and we complain about it all the time. But that has nothing to do with Carolina fans being bandwagon jumpers.

Re: I hate Carolina

I'll pop in long enough to say this, because if I get started on this topic, you'll be hard pressed to shut me up.

As of this post, you can still get 4 tickets together for the first home game in Carolina:

Oh, and don't forget this flood of tickets from the ever so devoted season ticket holders:

It's not even that I truly dislike the team, they're a talented team, but the majority of the fan base is pathetic and I can't stand them in the least. Hockey only exists from mid April until the team is eliminated.. IF they make the playoffs of course. Sure, there are some decent fans that are really into the team, most of them are converted fans of other teams however.

Re: I hate Carolina

Dear 'Canes fans:

FYI, the season starts in October, not April.

I became a fan of the Canes when i moved down here from NY in '97, label us what you want, i dont care if people dont go, that just gives me a chance to go and watch them play. Playoff games mean more income for the team, guess the Canes arent doing too bad.

Re: I hate Carolina

FYI for you Sabre fans;

1. We dont care that you think we are badwagon fans

2. We are enjoying the playoffs thanks to our team

3. We had the opportunity to watch our team raise the Cup

Poke fun, complain, mock our fanbase, doesnt matter, we are still playing.

I do agree with the conversion aspect, i grew up in NY and came from a family that pulls for the Rangers and Islanders, needed a change and that is where i became a Canes fan.

On a side note, did you get that house out in Holly Springs? I just signed a contract for Washington Square at Amberly, nice place, check it out if you havent gotten your house yet, hope all is well.
