Obligatory "which playoff bandwagon are you hopping on now?" thread

Now that the Sabres are officially out of the race (**** you, yes they are), and the #nochance 2012 movement complete, whose bandwagon are you hopping on for the postseason? We have this thread every playoff-less season, so I'm curious if your "second team " choice changes yearly.


Let's go rangers. I wanna go to another parade.

Any team that Plays exciting hockey, always had a soft spot for NSH, so probabally Nashville, Philly, and quite a few others. I might take heat for PHI but their is a reason

I feel dirty saying it, but I agree with the Rags vote.

Past that, pulling for the previous underdogs - Florida, Phoenix, LA, etc.

Rooting against the Bruins, Flyers (to a lesser extent than last year, though), Wings, Canucks, and Pens.

Nashville, Vanvouver, and then whoever is left that hasn't won a Cup ever before. It would be AWE-SOME to see Goose lift the Cup. I'd like the Canucks to win one, just because every fan base should get a banner to celebrate. Even the snobs. Plus I get to see Kassian lift the Cup.

Preds are my WC team for that very reason.

Yay for St. Louis. I did it a few years ago when they made it and the Sabres did not. I'm doing it again.


And yes, Rangers in the East.

Detroit is always my 2nd team

After that I route for either A) who ever didn't piss me off that season (never anyone out of our division) or B) underdogs

Florida and New Jersey are my dogs in the East. I want to see Dineen win a playoff series and the Devils don't piss me off like every other Eastern Conference playoff team.

Out west, I'll root for anyone of the potential playoff teams except Dallas. My main teams will be San Jose, Detroit, and St. Louis though.

If it does, St. Louis.

I always try to adopt one team but that never really seems to work.

Chicago/Ottawa would probably be my dream finals. I've always liked Ottawa, glad to see they're finally not awful again.
