Everybody Hates the Bruins Apparently

Bruins Hatred Rampant?
According to images from Reddit.com, the Boston Bruins are supposedly the most hated team in the NHL. After winning a Presidents Trophy this season and making two Stanley Cup appearances in the past three years, is it because they win a fair amount of games? Or maybe the maps are based on the Lucic sportsmanship fiasco. The racist Subban tweets could’ve also been a factor.
But as a respectable Bruins fan, you can’t look into this one too much.
It appears North America isn’t the problem too, but unsurprisingly, Canada doesn’t like the B’s considering the Canucks series and the heated Montreal Canadiens rivalry. That’s understandable.
The majority of Asia, Europe and Australia dislikes the Black and Gold, but this map also reveals that Africa hates the Winnipeg Jets and South America detests the Canadiens. Then, you begin to realize that this data may not be accurate in the slightest bit.
NESN.com detailed that the maker of these maps, the person who also did NFL and MLB plots, didn’t like the Thrashers, and put himself down as African. If anyone didn’t have doubts to being with, that idea of representation made these visuals pretty sketchy.
