The Resume

    (1982- )

    Attended home games at the Continental Airlines Arena (1982- )
    Capacity: 18,118

Why they might be annoying:

    They cheer for a team that plays a boring style of hockey.
    They've had to watch them play the neutral zone trap every year since Jacques Lemaire became head coach.
    They cheer for a team that has been overshadowed by the other two New York teams throughout its history.
    Their team was forced to hold their Stanley Cup parades in the Continental Airlines Arena parking lot rather then in East Rutherford.
    They don't sellout except for special occasions and the final two playoff rounds.
    Their arena is considered to be outdated by NHL standards.
    They are another group of fans who have developed a 'Cup or Bust' mentality in recent seasons.

Why they might not be annoying:

    When Wayne Gretzky referred to their team as a 'Mickey Mouse Franchise,' the fans responded by having a sold-out crowd wearing Mickey Mouse ears the next time the Oilers came to town.
    They have seen their team win two of their three Stanley Cups on home ice.
    They have been able to witness their team go from a laughingstock to a perennial Stanley Cup contender.
    They get to watch future Hall-of-Fame goaltender Martin Brodeur play on a regular basis.
