Yep, let's start with ABV: Anybody But Vancouver.

After that, I'm going LA. Despite Dustin Brown. I find few other Kings that I dislike.

I cheer for those who have a passion for pancakes.



And I hate the Canucks.

How can anybody cheer for the Ottawa Senators? Seriously. What could somebody possibly like about that club? Unless you're actually from Ottawa or something.

This is a club that tanked and tanked and tanked and did jacksquat. Hope they get swept.

Spartacus!!! lol.

Perfect fail theme that they should pull one more time..

Well, it's looking like my Coyotes might be getting a lot of support from my fellow Oil fans...

I'm cheering for LA. While Brown may suck, I quite like a number of their other players.

Count me in. Any team with Torres is a friend of mine.

I like the underdog try hard quality of the Coyotes. Well coached club that just works harder.

Well if we suck 5yrs from now, 10yrs from now, 15yrs from now then it applies to us.

I just get a laugh out of the amount of times the National media has tried to foist the Ottawa Senators as Canada's team. As if.


Die Senators Die.

The only think I like about the Ottawa Senators is how many times I've made money betting against them.

As a wise poster once said "I would cheer for the taliban before I cheer for the Canucks"

Whoever plays Vancouver will be my favorite team for a couple of weeks.

Ottawa/St. Louis final would be fine with me.

Basically anyone but Vancouver.

Philly: I've always liked their logo colours since I was a little kid. Also Bryz, but not huge on P****** getting his name on the cup again.
Ottawa: Definitely like this team, and Alfredsson has been patient and loyal. If any Canadian team had to win it before us, i'd like it to be them. But still, i'd prefer basically any other team.
St Louis: Hah, I actually own a STL jersey from about 2000. It's a "pro-player" but acceptable quality, it'd be nice to wear it lol.
Detroit: If they take out Van they have my support. And if they win it's like "big whoop"..
Chicago: About the same as Detroit... I might like them a bit more actually.
Nashville: I'm pretty sympathetic to those expansion teams who haven't seen much success, i'd actually be happy to see them win it.
Sharks: If they beat VAN round 1 they'll always have a special place in my heart.
LA: Nope.
NYR: I'm okay with this.
Pittsburgh: Oh god could you just imagine if Crosby got MVP? We'd never hear the end of that..ever..PASS
NJ: Marty. (they have my support)
Flordia: Nah.
Washington: I'd love to see it actually. OVI OVI OVI OVI!!!! (if crosby gets one so should he)
Boston: Sure why the hell not, eh?
Phoenix: Meh... Gonna have to go with no. They do not have my support.

Yeah I just listed teams in random order. I really just support whoever beats Vancouver... I guess I like Philly, but is it a mortal sin to cheer on Pronger's team? I mean, after doing a bit of research, we actually got Jordan Eberle out of the Pronger fiasco... Sooo yeah...

Pronger's career is probably done so you can likely cheer for Philly guilt free.

Any of the teams in the East I remotely care about are out, so I'll say the Rangers. I like San Jose and it's much easier to cheer for them without Heatley. It would be an added bonus if they knock off the Nucks. Other than that I'd say St Louis.

Oh...and I suppose I should cheer for the Rags out of the east. With my namesake at the helm, it would be nice to see some success.

Anyone doing some bandwagon aviators...give me a Rangers.

It's hard to say before the playoffs actually start unless there's a team that you always cheer for in there.

I started out last year thinking that I could cheer for the Canucks because I live out here and I see so many little kids and some decent, respectable fans quite a bit. When the game is on and you the fans going nutso for Bieksa jumping Stahlberg from behind, or cheering because the linesman got hit in the head with the puck or John Garret and Gary Valk screaming "bad call" because the closest ref didn't notice Burrows slew foot on the goalie... you get the gag reflex when they score... then you know.

I think I'll be cheering for the Sharks because I'm not a fan of so many people who take so much joy in seeing Thornton struggle in the playoffs. When I see a game I'll know if I can cheer for them, but I can't imagine cheering for anyone else out west. Definitely not Det, Chi, Vcr, or Stl. Maybe LA because they have so many ex-oilers, but LA is a team that I've traditionally hated.

I might cheer for the Sens out east, anyone but the Rags, Pens, Jersey, & da Broons is ok from out east.

I think that if I was ever going to bet against a #3 seed vs a #6 seed in my lifetime the Fla vs NJ series would be a strong candidate.

Here's one that matches the Sens theme. Rebuilds unite.
