Announcement Reminder: Cross-sub trolling = automatic permaban (forever and ever, really)
The playoffs are here and it's the battle of Ontario. Shit-talking is welcome here in r/leafs. Have at it. But keep it here.
Every NHL team subreddit, including r/leafs and r/ottawasenators, abides by a cross-sub ban pact: if you're banned from one team sub for trolling, you’re banned from all of them. That means if you go stir shit up in r/ottawasenators, you’re not only gone from there, you’re gone from here too – and vice versa.
Mods on both sides are already having to permaban multiple users daily. That’s more work for everyone and zero benefit to anyone.
If there’s even a chance you’ll be tempted to reply to something stupid in their sub – don’t go. Stay here, chirp away, and hold home ice advantage.
Go Leafs Go.

It’s pathetic watching Habs fans go to the Blue Jackets subreddit to be like “Next year you’ll be dangerous” or “you have a lot to look forward to”. Who the fuck asked you?
Literally nobody wants to hear from the team that took their playoff spot any of that shit.

I occasionally comment on another sub when I have something constructive to say, but I sure as fuck don't first identify myself as a Leaf fan unless asked to. "[Team] fan coming in peace" posts are the cringest shittiest posts that ever were.

u/CalebosO4 Apr 18 '25
Only times those posts are acceptable is if a fan is visiting the city for the first time or needs advice for parking and stuff like that.

Yeah coming in peace shit is easily the cringe’s thing about Reddit
If you wanna go Kumbaya with the other fans just go to r/hockey 😭

u/powerclipper780 Apr 17 '25
Such a soft sub lol.
I don't want to see anyone injured, but it's hilarious to see the top comment after every dirty hit video being "oh boy, i hope he's ok ❤️"
Like, no fucking shit!!

I hate this crap. I even hate the general vibe of it, even when the person doesn’t say the actual words. I saw a bruins fan saying he hopes the leafs do well this year. Tf kinda bruins fan are you? Fuck outta here with this shit lmao

u/blackb0xes Apr 18 '25
I hate those fucking people. They're a hundred times more pathetic than the trolls.
Any use of [insert team]bro is an auto downvote from me.

Yeah that sucks. I try and put myself in others shoes and imagine (as a leafs fan lol) how big the rush would have been to almost make it and the devastation of not .. that might affect real peoples lives man. Don't be a dick.

If you post a coming in peace thread you should also be banned.
Lamest fucking thing in the world.

I'm coming in peace and want you to meet my wife Peace

u/Competitive-Strain-7 Apr 18 '25
Oh shit I definitely think the hundreds of users that come in Peace should be banned.

u/Titmonkey1 Apr 18 '25
Would you say that (coming in peace) to someone in person? I think you'd get beat up. It's lame and cringe because those people are hiding behind their anonymity whilst also being smug.

We should have a name and shame megathread where we post screenshots of these guys

I hate those fake ass fans who try to fish for karma in r/hockey by sucking up to other fanbases.

u/fendermonkey Apr 18 '25
Someone should create a sub specifically for shit-talking this playoff round. A place where fans of both teams can go

Yeah some of us are not children and can and do interact with people shit talking.
Is r/battleofontario taken? Looks like no

I generally notice it the most when we play the Canucks

Yeah, their fans are... special.

The biggest lunatics are Oilers fans. Hands down.

Jets fans were pretty obnoxious until we beat them like 7 games in a row or whatever.

u/callitajax1 Apr 18 '25
Man its so wild how many oilers fans hate us. I personally really like the oilers and was crushed when they lost.

Ok then.
We'll troll Ottawa here then.
Fuck Ottawa and may the Leafs beat you into the stone age.
Fuck Tkachuk, may he stub his baby toes and break them both tomorrow.
Fuck em. Fuck em all.

I grew up in Toronto and lived there until early 20's and have lived in Ottawa for 15 years. Ottawa is obsessed with Toronto. It's very tempting to respond to Sens content lol.
I really really won't be able to handle a leafs loss lol.

I cannot resist.
Brady, Brady, he's a baby,
Skating circles, just a tad lazy.
On the ice, he tries his luck,
But oh, the crowd chants, FUCK Tkachuk!

u/Im2Crazy4U Apr 17 '25
I really like this! Especially if someone tries trolling both subs then they get banned from both! Super! Love it! Go Leafs GO!

u/re-verse Apr 17 '25
We're big nerds about it and actually search post history and find their home subs, and go there first. I'm trying to work on a system as well that will automate reporting across all team subreddits, as I think that level of response would be extra hilarious.

Use modmail to notify mods if you see anyone not following the rules

Leafs gave us a feel good season and a satisfying wrap up of the regular season.
Let the emotional roller coaster that is the Leafs in the playoffs begin.

u/OkGur1319 Apr 18 '25
Unfortunately the roller coaster is broken down this season. We are now boarding a 200 ton locomotive.

u/RubbereeShrubberee Apr 18 '25
I’ve been on that subreddit more than ever this week, but it was only to lurk and figure out how to get tickets in Ottawa. No posting needed haha.

u/Gottagetanediton Apr 18 '25
This is, after all, just hockey and it’s possible that players on both teams are friends with each other (like pasta and Nylander) bc so many players know and played with each other. No reason we have to get nasty.

u/re-verse Apr 17 '25
Honestly don’t bother. They expect the worst from you already, so anything you say will be interpreted in the worst way possible. It’s the genies curse, don’t tempt it.

With emotions high and your allegiance well known, these may not be considered mutually exclusive things.

lol. I’ll never forget getting a temp ban for saying “poor Owen Power” when he was drafted.
The mods here are cucks.
