Why they might be annoying:

    They developed a 'Cup or Bust' mentality every year since Scotty Bowman coached the team.
    They toss raw octopus on the ice in every round during the playoffs. The octopus has 8 tentacles and at one time it took 8 playoff victories to win the Stanley Cup.
    They have a hated rivalry going with Colorado Avalanche fans.
    They cheer for a team that focuses more on signing older players then developing prospects.
    They consider themselves 'Hockeytown.'

Why they might not be annoying:

    They cheer for a team that is one of the NHL's Original Six franchises.
    They were rewarded when their team won back to back Stanley Cups in the late 90's ending a 42-year drought.
    Despite their reputation, they are the classiest fans in the league.
    They have been treated to seeing future Hall-of-Fame players skate for their team.
    They have the largest venue in the NHL.
