Holy shite that list is hilarious because it's all true. You nailed it man.
The only thing that I would add being a Rangers fan is that:
a) The fan base will annoy the shite out of you. They are just as negative overall as LSU. Instead of thinking that all 5 star recruits want to come here, Rangers fans think that all free agents would want to come here (despite the fact that 1/2 of them are smart enough to avoid us for the taxation alone).
b) MSG for a playoff game or in-division is amazing. Rowdy & Loud, just a great experience.
c) The Rangers @ MSG are insanely expensive. Cheapest tickets right now for 2 seats right next to each other for any game the entire season is $71.50 each for obstructed view seats in the nosebleeds against the Carolina Hurricanes in March. That being said, the nosebleeds aren't that bad. Also, being a fickle fan base, I go to at least 1 game a year for under $60 because that's what I can afford.

Well, I did try to be (mostly) fair. But if you're a Penguins fan and not from Pittsburgh, EVERYONE is going to assume your bandwagon fan. It's that simple. Same thing if you were a Red Wings fan in 2001. Don't jump in on the best team that's also most popular with casual fans. You have to suffer at least a little bit.
I'll be honest, I have a lifetime of rooting for nothing but ill for the Rangers, but I love this Rangers team. If they weren't the blueshirts, I would totally root for them. Ryan Callahan is pretty much my Platonic ideal for a "hockey player". Torts is the best coach in the league as well. But they are the Rangers, so screw your team. I hope the bus crashes.
I really want to tell a southerner to root for the Blues. But I'm not kidding about their history -- it's nothing but a steady diet of nut punches. I'm surprised the Blues still have fans not because I question their loyalty, but because they haven't all killed themselves. Rooting for the Blues is hard. And this is coming from a guy who roots for the Caps and Flames -- two franchises who are no strangers to pain.
