GO HABS GO!!!!!!!1
How long is Matthieu Schneider for the red wings out for?
I dunno, I would say Philly cause they suck but still get supportWho do you think will win the stanley cup?
Pittsburgh Penguins - we petitioned, rallied, wrote letters, emailed, made phone calls - and we saved our team! New arena!I have been a fan since I was 9 years old, lived in the "Steel City" for 26 years, and even though I live in Arizona now, I refuse to support any other team. Pens forever!
Let's Go Pens!
Are there any sites where I can see NHL Ice Hockey for free?
The Penguins nearly left Pittsburgh 3 times through no fault of the fans, and we stuck by them. If you're trying to get everyone to say Philadelphia, it won't work.Where in Buffalo, NY did the Sabres players used to go (and may still go)...?
In the US, Philly. But they aren't as hardcore as most Canadian cities.Is playing ice hockey bad on your knees?
Pittsburgh right now. What they've gone through recently and to sell out that many games is incredible. The amount of fan involvement over the whole move/stay ordeal has been impressive.The NY Rangers fans are really loyal as well. Despite their team sucking so bad in past years, they still sold out most games...and by sold out, I mean the seats are all full as opposed to a sell out in NJ where half the fans come to the game dressed as empty seats.
I also have got to give credit to Winnipeg. Even without a team there they still have tons of fans dying for NHL hockey again.
Did You See that goalie slash?
Montreal, followed by Toronto (whiners though). I think your 'original 6' (add Boston, NYRangers, Chicago, Detroit) despite the fact that CHI, BOS & NYR have iced some horrific squads most of the last 10 years. Edmonton, Vancouver & Calgary score very high.My home team - Phoenix - has the least loyal fans I think. 1 sell out all season - to see Sid Crosby play - so I give 18,000 (I was there for his 4 point game) people credit for at least recognizing the significance of this kid's skills.
i'm a diehard nj fan but i must say the detroit red wings. Nobody gives up on their Wings in detroit, its a hockey city. another thought is columbus, cause if your still a fan of theirs, your one faithful fan!!
Did anyone know the NHL All-Star game was on last week?
Toronto. No matter how good or bad the Leafs are they still always sell out and there is no place tickets are harder to get.Pittsburgh Penguins. Stanley Cup contenders for the 06-07 season?
Philadelphia-without a doubt. And their the most intimidating too.don't forget, they booed Santa Claus...who else's fans would have the balls to do that?Buffalo Sabres Rule! <That's not a question. Does anyone have a favorite team they'd like to share?
Hockeytown.That kind of says it all, doesn't it?
Go Red Wings!
Ottawa or Buffalo? I don't know who to cheer for!!?
i would pick toronto for this one, where else could you see sell out after sell out every home game for as long as i could remember and heres a team that hasn't seen a stanley cup played for in 40 years thats loyalHow many games of the 7 left will the Leafs win?
Are y'all nuts? Buffalo has the best and most loyal fans in the league. Three years of not making it to the playoffs and they were still selling 13,000+ seats a game. Now look at them, they just passed the Red Wings for most sales of team goods to the public of any team in the league this year. I understand that a lot of those are band-waggoners, but more the 75% of them are not. They are loyal and a great crowd. I went to a few Buffalo games this year, and even when the Sabres were down by a goal or two, the place was still rocking and filled with screaming fans.Proper pronunciation of Alexander Semin?
Dertroit..hands down. Hell, they even have a following at every single rink they travel to. It bugs people to admit it, but its truth.Help Needed From Skating Experts!?
I terms of numbers, there's no doubt the Leafs nation is by far the largest.What is the shortest time ever for a player to get a hat trick?
kunsan it is called a BANDWAGON, that isn't LOYAL fans. As to U.S. fans I'd say Detroit is the most loyal. After all we all know if you wanted the most loyal you would look to Canada and cities like Toronto and Montreal. Don't know if the other ones aren't that loyal or if it is just because I'm not a fan in a Western City but you don't hear about the Flames or Canucks much.Oh and the one who said about booing Santa- First that doesn't make you LOYAL, second that was at an EAGLES game if I'm not mistaken and had NOTHING to do with the NHL.
Where can I find hockey pants or shells that are just like the ones they weare in the NHL? Thanks-?
The most loyal fans, have to be in Calgary when you look at there home record this year 28-7 compared to their road record 9-18 thats simply incredible no wonder why they call it The C of RedPITTSBURGH , period.
All the Canadian teams have a very loyal following and a large media contigent at every game with Montreal and Toronto being at the top.
As for the U.S., The NY Rangers and Detroit Red Wings sell out every home game and Detroit is known as 'hockey town' so I would have to say Detroit!
Montreal has the most loyal fans. Players all wanted to be a Canadian playing in the forum. It was the holy grail of hockey. So sad that the money has taken the true spirit of the game away.. As for the Detroit fan >>self naming your city Hockeytown hardly holds any merit!! The true hockey town lies up north in QUEBEC.
of course my heart bleeds blue-n-gold. Go Sabres
Detroit. No doubt. The Red Wings Dynasty helps to take fans far and wide to see their favorite team.
Does Pominville really need a Planned Parenthood?
Almost everyone in the Canadian cities cares passionately about their NHL team. Hockey is part of the culture. Some great hockey cities in the USA, but hockey isn't a major part of the culture of the American cities.Loyality does mean sticking with the team through all kinds for circumstances. I am impressed with the Philly fans recently and the Detroit fans of the past supported some down seasons. The Rangers also have to be classified as loyal, seel-out crowds waiting over 40 years for a championship.
toronto, has to be they havent one a cup in 40 years
PITTSBURGH PENGUINS! We sell out almost every game. We even sold out almost everygame last year when we sucked. We also saved our arena. We have one of the highest attendance %'s in the league and one of the highest t.v. ratings in the league.
Buffalo and Toronto also have very loyal fans
The stars fans.
FLYERS without a doubt!!!!!!
The Buffalo Sabres, no doubt, #1. There is a lot of bandwagon fans, but don't forget, we'd almost sell out games when we sucked. We do got very loyal fans. Sabres have sold out every single all season this year, but that is also due to bandwagon hoppers. But, Sabres have the loudest fans without a doubt. Gotta check out a Sabres game if you come to Buffalo, or near it, it's VERY crazy. Philadelphia also has very loyal fans considering how bad they are doing, and still selling a lot of tickets, which is very surprising.
Which Team Has The Most Players They Originally Drafted Still Playing For Them?
Toronto--40 years without a Cup and it's STILL hard to get a ticket to a game. That's loyalty!! And the fans that have tickets actually use them.I'm a die hard Red Wing fand and I don't see how these people can say the Wings have the most loyal fans. They may sellout their games but the people don't bother to use the tickets and go to the game.
Watch a Wings game on tv, you're lucky if you see the lower level fill up before the end of the 1st period--if it fills up at all.
And if they do show up they will leave by the middle of the 3rd period regardless if it is a tie game or not.
That's not loyalty.
But come playoff time all those people that didn't bother to use their tickets to regular season games will come in droves and tell you how great of a fan they are.
They should be ashamed of themselves. To have that great of a hockey team but not bother to go see them play.
I don't live near Detroit but if I did I would be there every game. The second they opened the doors till they named the three stars of the game.
I would say the Maple Leafs.
NYR because for like a decade they sucked and they still had sold out home game attendances thats loyalty. When management was making super crappy moves and trades or scoring veterans on the tail end of their careers the fans still stuck with their team.
