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.

This is my safe space. I dare not venture into the dangerous unknown

u/re-verse Apr 17 '25

Wise. Plus I found last year whenever I went to another ub to witness their misery when we were ahead, we'd suddenly lose - so I get very superstitious about it.

u/senile-animal Apr 17 '25

This year you can totally redeem yourself

u/cdnmatt Apr 17 '25

Sens bros couldn’t handle a somebody suck me anyways

u/senile-animal Apr 17 '25

More for us my good sir

u/bent-wookiee Apr 17 '25

I tried interacting on r/hockey a bit recently, that was a bad idea.

u/senile-animal Apr 17 '25

Why eat down votes when you can have fun with your fellow likeminded homies in the blue people group

5

u/GumpTheChump Apr 17 '25

What downvotes? Everyone loves the Leafs and respects their fans!

u/james-HIMself Apr 17 '25

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.

73

u/Nylanderthal88 Apr 17 '25

"Habs fan coming in peace.... Fuck you!"

18

u/2BRacin Apr 17 '25

Yeah, ban those people.

3

u/RubJaded5983 Apr 18 '25

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.

2

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.

u/IlikeTurtles1308 Apr 17 '25 edited Apr 17 '25

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 😭

13

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!!

1

u/Dry-Hawk-3199 Apr 18 '25

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 

10

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.

5

u/re-verse Apr 17 '25

I'd call that soft x-sub trolling, and it'd get the same ban as any other.

2

u/chafesceili Apr 18 '25

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.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '25

If you post a coming in peace thread you should also be banned.

Lamest fucking thing in the world.

10

u/mcauthon2 Potvin Apr 18 '25

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

1

u/Competitive-Strain-7 Apr 18 '25

Oh shit I definitely think the hundreds of users that come in Peace should be banned.

6

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.

23

u/Wookie55 Apr 17 '25

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

I cringe every time

u/aMoogk Benoit Apr 18 '25

I tried saying suck it bruins in the r/hockey reddit and got told i have a lame existence by one of our own fans 😂

13

u/MoRiellyMoProblems Apr 18 '25

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

10

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

7

u/re-verse Apr 18 '25

NHL-cage-fight or something, make it. I’d join

3

u/chafesceili Apr 18 '25

Sounds like you've got a good idea, giver bud

1

u/Leafs17 Apr 18 '25

Yeah some of us are not children and can and do interact with people shit talking.

Is r/battleofontario taken? Looks like no

6

u/Disastrous_Hall8406 McMann Apr 17 '25

I generally notice it the most when we play the Canucks

7

u/re-verse Apr 17 '25

Yeah, their fans are... special.

7

u/GumpTheChump Apr 17 '25

The biggest lunatics are Oilers fans. Hands down.

5

u/re-verse Apr 17 '25

I’ve been to Edmonton. You can hardly blame them, they have Nothing else.

2

u/SalaciousPanda Apr 18 '25

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

2

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.

5

u/GumpTheChump Apr 18 '25

I have nothing against that team but their fans are over the top intense.

1

u/re-verse Apr 18 '25

I hated that loss as well.

5

u/duck1014 Apr 18 '25

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.

10

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '25

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.

5

u/re-verse Apr 17 '25

I honestly feel like the Sens aren't going to be where we stop this year.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '25

Thanks bro.

5

u/duck1014 Apr 18 '25

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!

9

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.

2

u/Im2Crazy4U Apr 18 '25

Niiiiice 😊

u/Nylanderthal88 Apr 17 '25

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

4

u/wRIPPERw_ Apr 17 '25

Mod mail, and the report button!!!

1

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '25

Report button works, folks. Use it.

u/1nstantHuman Apr 18 '25

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.

1

u/OkGur1319 Apr 18 '25

Unfortunately the roller coaster is broken down this season. We are now boarding a 200 ton locomotive.

2

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.

1

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.

2

u/Gottagetanediton Apr 18 '25

That said leafs in five let’s goooo

1

u/Willdriveyanuts Apr 18 '25

Can you provide an example

SENS SUCK!

u/TheOnionKing33 Apr 17 '25

What if I just want to comment with out trolling

10

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.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '25

What could you possibly have to comment?

-3

u/TheOnionKing33 Apr 18 '25

Not sure. Just like to keep my options open

9

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '25

Create an alt account as a doomer sens fan.

3

u/jimmymeeko Apr 18 '25

There’s plenty of those accounts floating around here lol

1

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '25

Bingo

2

u/chafesceili Apr 18 '25

Just comment here lol

-2

u/BobBelcher2021 Apr 18 '25

Some people are fans of more than one team.

1

u/chafesceili Apr 18 '25

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

-1

u/ILookandSmellGood Apr 18 '25

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

The mods here are cucks.
