Adopt a panther!!!

[montreal]

Good luck to the panthers, hope they can finally get back to the playoffs. Once the Habs season is over, I don't watch any NHL games.

You have to find joy in the misery of others. Here's how my playoffs go without the habs:

1. Cheer against any Northeast rival
2. Cheer against Canadian teams (We were the last ones to win it, and I want us to be the next ones too)
3. Watch San Jose win the President's trophy and choke, again. (thats a favorite of mine, I don't think a team with Big Joe will ever go far)
4. Pick the team you hate the least in a matchup and cheer for them
5. At least we aren't as bad as the Leafs.

I love my habs but I love the game too.

The only team I would consider rooting for is whoever Nashville faces so our 2nd round pick can be lower.

Of course I will root against boston but I won't watch or follow any of the games, I just naturally root against them year round.

[Bacchus1]

I'll be "rooting" for 3 teams: Nashville, Chicago, and Pittsburgh.

Yeah, watching hockey once the habs are out, in summer, is kinda hard. So many other things to do.

[McSorleyStick]

No thanks

[Saint Patrick]

Got my vote for the east too, but I'm digging the Preds overall.

[HabsSlappy]

I will adopt whoever is playing the Bruins and whoever is playing the Red Wings...

[donghabs98]

i root for the underdog most times

i would like a team like COL make the playoffs and make some noise

[Watsatheo]

My temporary heart is already attached to another cat:



I'm partial to bandwagon for the Sens in the East. They've been our ***** so it makes it easier to cheer for them.

[Muminek]

I`m a sucker for cute animals, so I`ll cheer for the Florida Kittehs and the team with the kiddy Orr Jr.

[Playmaker09]

They're a brutal hockey team. I have no idea how they win games. No doubt they're overachieving, like the year we finished first in the East.

[wedge]

I'll cheer for Nashville in the West and maybe for Florida in the East... but I soooooo don't want them to meet in the finals. it would be a huge borefest with zero interest.

[Player 61]

Following any Canadian team 1st!

Besides Miami brings back memories of sleezeball Jeffery Loria....

[strutsboa]

When I was a little kid I liked Panthers and Mighty Ducks because of their logos and my first hockeycard ever was actually Johan Garpenlov in Panthers.

I also have a very difficult time finding any other team to support in the East. Boston, Buffalo and Ottawa are all divisional rivals, I've always disliked Philadelphia, Washington and Rangers and for some reason it would feel wrong to support Devils.

That would leave me with Pittsburgh and Florida, so I'll cheer for them in the East.

I usually also support the underdogs (no offence).

[Go Habs Go]

I'm definitely going to be supporting Florida!
Underdogs all the way!

[adam graves]

thanks for all the replies.
Appreciate all the good wishes!!

I might root for them this year since they haven't been in the playoffs in a while.

Good news on Peter....he's a very successful high school coach in the local community. His team won states and went to nationals.

Great guy always a smile and an autograph. Your Aunt has good company!!!

[Myron Gaines*]

**** the panthers


Edit: Or any other team in the NHL

[Chris G]

Just don't see the Panther's doing any damage with pitts/philly in the east right now Giroux/Malkin/Crosby are gamebreakers.

Best of luck to the Panthers, not a bad bunch of guys for a team labeled to be acquiring the "outcasts" last summer

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

Meh.. hope they do well as the underdog, but I won't be rooting for a team... unless they somehow face Boston.

[Mike8]

I support organisations that have been built properly. I do like Tallon and appreciate what Florida's done, but it's not their time to be a good club yet (which is why they're not a good team, frankly).

In this playoffs, I'd like to see the following do well: NSH, STL, DET, CHI, PIT.

[Toastman]

How are the Flyers winning games without Pronger Meszaros or Timmonen

[Player 61]

Seriously why is this thread on the Habs board?

Were 100 plus years old, Florida is as close to finishing 1st in thier crummy division as being elliminated. Come on Montreal keep your pride.

Florida! Give me a break.....

[coolasprICE]

Panthers vs Predators

Like the ring of that
