who to root for now?

I was interested in which teams the avs fans here will be rooting for to win the SC?

I have no clear favorite... maybe Rangers or Nashville

I'm thinking of going for the Pens. I'm a big Crosby and Malkin fan and I want to see people freak out because of Crosby. There's so much hate for him, it's ridiculous.

But mainly, anyone but the Canucks and Wings.

Nashville from the West, and if I'm being completely honest with myself even though everybody wants them to win - Pittsburgh from the East. Although I do love the Rangers as well.

San Jose, just like last year.

...and then whichever teams/players that can get me the most points in my playoff hockey pool. But this is for darn sure- I will NOT be rooting for Vancouver, Detroit, St Louis, or Washington.

I get that you guys all have weird hatred toward Vancouver and Detroit, but what's bad about St.Louis or Washington?

Washington fans were cheering against us all season long... time to return that favor.

The team itself I have nothing against, but the Blues' fans definitely rubbed me the wrong way. As for Washington... eh, I never liked their team. HOWEVER, if Vancouver and Washington hit in the Finals, I would root for the Caps. And to echo what Mant said, haha.

Nothing "weird" about the hatred towards those teams.

Oh wow. I'll never understand people that hate on a team just because of the fans. Especially not because of the HFBoards fans. Personally I could really care less about Washington this season because they just come across as lazy and meh to me for a while now, but I won't root against them. Still have too much of an affinity for Ovi.

If I had a 2nd team, it'd be LA. So them. But also Nashville. And Florida in the East.

I might need new teams in the 2nd round.

Meh. Bertuzzi annoys me and I'll never like him, but he's still an effective player so I won't fault Detroit for employing him. That's the only player I have any problem with as far as Detroit goes, and I love their Europeans.

I don't like Burrows at all and Vancouver somewhat annoys me since last year's playoffs, but "meh". There are teams that I'd rather see win the Cup for sure, but "meh".

San Jose and Nashville.

I do not want either Pittsburgh, Detroit, or Vancouver to win the cup.

Ah, see, I would say that about Ottawa, but my friends and I know someone on the team, so... ugh. So much confusion! They won't win anyway.

Someone mentioned LA- good call, I will probably pull for them if SJ gets eliminated. I would root for Nashville if I did not want one of their players to hit free agency, but since I do want one of their players to have no incentive to return...

I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo who thinks like that.

"If Nashville wins, Suter will go back to the Stanley Cup champs"

"But if Nashville doesn't win, Suter will want to move on and we have a chance"

Even though I know we probably won't get him anyways.

Between teams you hate, teams whose fanbases you hate, and teams who have a player you hate, it's really hard to find a team to root for.

In this case, I'm rooting for the Sharks. Their fans are some of the best.
