Pet Peeves about Hockey Fans

People who talk about BS when they come to a game. How much their house costs, how much their groceries are, what they're doing Saturday night. And they WANT you to hear it, they talk loud. How can you talk about BS at a game? Aren't you into it? I don't get it.

My brother in law gave me his tickets (level 200, row-B) to a Leafs game last year, for my kid's birthday present. These two guys in row A ahead of us, obviously well-off (judging from their clothes) and obviously a little inebriated from downing a few before the game, stood and talked through both National Anthems. When O Canada came up and they were *still* talking I started singing louder and louder, leaning in closer and closer to them. By the time we came to the last couple of bars I was about 4 inches from the guy's ear and I went for the high note.

Too bad he was too drunk to notice.

You just don't get their sense of humour! :D:

People who wear any Jersey of a team not playing at that game.

Fans of any team that don't even play hockey ... like the Leafs.

People who say, "It's just a game."

Yes, I understand that, it is just a game, but I'm very passionate about this game and I choose to go batsh*t sometimes. The people who say this are 'casual' fans and could never 'get' the die-hards like me, my wife and most of the people on this site I would reckon.

I have some pet peeves:

-people referring to players as "pieces"
-people spelling lose with two o's
-Dean Brown's voice

Referring to a goalie or goaltender as one of - goaler, goal keeper or net minder

"Backstop" -- used as both a noun and a verb.

How about fans who act like a former player meant nothing to the team and the mere mention of his name is like you committed the most horrible crime to think of?

A guy on my hockey team is also a Sens fan and if I even bring up Heatley he acts like he has never heard of the guy before. Kind of silly if you ask me, and to deny that when he was on our team that we were a better offensive team than when what we are now is crazy.

Who?
