    Absolutely the leafs. JK probably buffalo

  2. AdUpstairs9652

    I’ve never heard a negative review from attending PPG Paints Arena as an away fan

  3. The_Next_Wild_GM

    Anyone that considers themselves a Coyotes fan has to be a great fan

  4. DanTreview

    We are the city of brotherly love and that’s no lie. Wear a Penguins jersey to the Wells Fargo Center and you’ll be treated warmly and with the deepest respect

    I ended up sitting in a section at a Devils Habs game that was full of Habs fans bussed down from Montreal. Devils absolutely smoked the Habs that night, but every person in that section was having an absolute blast. Some of the nicest people I have met at a game.

  6. TerpySlurpeez

    Depends on what you mean – the leafs haven’t done shit since the league expanded from the original 6, but the stadium is always filled to capacity.

  7. AssumptionSome4201

    Never met a panthers fan. I assume they are good people.

  8. Big-Dick-Bee-

    Leafs or Jets.

    Leafs: They sucked for years but they still sell out every night and have a billion fans.

    Jets: Probably the hardest arena to play in with the whiteout and the fan energy.

    Vegasbros and Habsbros are pure quality! I root for those teams, just cause their fans are the chillest there is

    Edited to add: had shit interactions online with pens fans. But all the Pensbros I have met at games and interacted with in person have been top notch

    All those fans in Buffalo are always just so charming, handsome, smart, they just seem like a really great bunch of humans to be honest….wait did you say other than where you live?

  11. papabenny17

    Probably coyotes? Or any Canadian team besides vancouver

  12. Colorado Avalanche. ( My team, Seattle Kraken isn’t represented)

  13. ArkanoidbrokemyAnkle

    Carolina, maybe. I went to a Blues game, and they seemed like nice people, Carolina is more passionate

  14. Hollandmarch76

    The New Jersey Devils because of David Putty.

  15. Voltage604

    I’ve always had good interactions with Buffalo fans.

    In person Oiler fans are mostly great…. Online not so much.

  16. DangerRanger_21

    Honestly I’ve never really had a bad interaction with any fan base.. I’ve only been to games in Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver as a flames fan but I’ve only ever experienced friendly banter, I’m sure every fan base has assholes, only ones I’m not a huge fan of are the bruins, know Mason Raymond quite well so the chants when he broke his back ruined them for me lol

    Met a father n son Stars-fans after they caught a game in town. Came in to my convenience store in jerseys and mentioned how nice of a stadium we had. Told them good game (we lost) and he asked if I liked the Blues. Said yes and he told his son to go get one of the Bobbleheads they got at the stadium for me.

    Always stuck with me

  18. FinicalPenny453

    Jackets fan are amazing ngl. The staff is beyond friendly.

  19. MuttMurdock69

    Toronto. I consider them the lovable losers of the NHL. They are the hockey version of the old Chicago Cubs. Despite that, their fans are loyal and pretty cool.

  20. anon848484839393

    As a Leafs fan who is constantly berated by fans of nearly every other team, Canes fans have always been pretty good with me. Even when they had all the ammo with David Ayres.

  21. backchecklund

    The bunch of jerks from Carolina seem chill

  22. Saltfringecrust

    The Oilers fans are class act. After sweeping them last year in the playoffs (Avalanche). They were so chill and graceful about it. Not a shitty moment just respect and love for the game. The blues fans tho……. Woof.

  23. DiamondDawgs91

    It’s hockey, all the fans are great… except Pittsburgh…

  24. Tiedyeinstein

    Other than the oilers the flames have the best fans. Hockey culture out there in Alberta is just different

  25. joebawca

    San Jose Sharks. Went to. Tampa vs San Jose game.and they were fun. No intense shit talking and just a great experience.

  26. AshCan10

    Toronto, Buffalo, Winnipeg, Arizona hard to beat those 4, if I had to pick a 5th it would be surprisingly Chicago. They catch too much flak in my opinion. Out of all the teams Vegas played in the playoffs, they were the very best to interact with, even though they lost pretty handily to us, which you would expect some bitterness, but they were good people. I’ll always respect them for that.

  27. TongueFartMan

    Yotes fans are always nice to us leafs

  28. ChungLamungus

    (Kings fan) I’ve met some pretty chill Minnesota fans. That Midwest kindness was real

  29. Snort_Wheeze

    When I went to the winter classic at the big house (wings vs leafs) I accidentally bought tickets in a leafs section and was surrounded by leaf fans. It snowed a foot that day and I wasn’t dressed for it. The leaf fans gave me soup, coffee and a coat. Hands down the best experience I’ve had with another fan base.

  30. NaughtyNightLight

    I don’t know for all of them, but the Stars had that one blond woman fan who seemed pretty nice. She was sitting right behing the bench, near Rick Bowness.

  31. I’ve been to leafs games all over and we have pretty diehard fans. Habs too. Wherever you go to see Toronto play there’s a ton of leafs fans

    Chicago was the one exception where the building felt almost entirely Chicago. Well supported team.

  32. trevlarrr

    Carolina always seems to have a great atmosphere and I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad word said against them

  33. JahIsGucci

    Gotta be Montreal.

    It’s their religion. It goes beyond sports with habs fans. Lots of soul in that bunch

  34. JasonPlattMusic34

    The Leafs are simultaneously the best and worst fans in hockey. Worst because they believe the universe revolves around them. Best because they still buy tickets despite their team not being relevant for 50 years.
