I'm on the Habs bandwagon when they make the playoffs, though recently I've started latching onto the Avalanche bandwagon too. It was bad enough that they had to draft Matt Duchene (when we were all smitten with his Brampton linemate Cody Hodgson), but then they grabbed Stefan Elliott and Gabriel Landeskog (and ROR and Barrie) too. Very envious of them for all of those acquisitions. That, and they seem to grab a ton of talent from right here in BC.

It's funny that I (a Canucks fan) am starting to take an interest in the Avalanche, taking into consideration the phenomena I witnessed in the late '90s, where Canucks fans (or prospective Canucks fans [understand I was a lot younger at this time]) were converted into Avalanche fans due to the collapse of the Canucks and the huge star power of Burnaby Joe/Forsberg/Patrick Roy.
