Whoever plays against Detroit or Vancouver out of principle. But, in particular I'm pulling for the Preds and the Pens.

Same here. My dad and two of my good friends are Nucks fans so I'm kind of forced to atleast watch and somewhat like a few of the players.

I always watch every canucks playoff game and cheer loudly against them. It's the joys of living in British Columbia. I also own chichago, San Jose and Anaheim jerseys due to the playoffs.

Don't really care. I like San Jose as a team, but they're toast and will be rebuilding soon. Nashville games are awesome to watch because of the crowd, as are Phoenix games.

I think Vancouver will win it. One of the most quiet President Trophy wins ever, and they did it in a season where their top guys were mediocre. The Sedins and Kesler especially didn't put up the same numbers as the did last year, which goes to show you what a deep team Vancouver is given that they repeated President Trophies.

I honestly think they have a better chance then last year to win it.

They're getting more depth scoring, and guys like Hansen and Higgins have been pretty amazing and their game translates pretty well into the playoffs. If the Sedins and Kesler step it up in the playoffs, i'd say they're the team to beat in the West.

I'm rooting for San Jose & Ottawa

With 2 strong goalie options this year I don't see Vancouver not winning the cup FTL

I live in British Columbia and loudly cheer against them too! I danced a "little jig" last year on game 6 ( especially after 4-0) and then have to restraint myself when Boston won, haha...


I am on Blackhawks bandwagon and then whoever play against Vancouver.

I can't help but root for Ottawa. I always root for the Canadian teams in the playoffs if the Avs don't make it, and I refuse to root for Vancouver, so my options are kind of limited.

I'm also a bit surprised by the lack of Florida love here. How can you not root for a team that hasn't made the playoffs in over a decade?

In the West, I want Detroit and Vancouver to lose... badly... in the first round.

Nashville and Washington for me. When the Caps are eliminated it'll just be Nashville.

East I'm doing the Penguins thing and in a friendly rivalry with Flyers board poster Krishna
West I'm going against the grain, I'm sorry, but I am going to pull for the Canucks at least in the opening round. I don't want them in the Cup but I do want them to beat a handful of teams. Who I want to make the cup would be Chicago.

In the end I'm cheering for Pittsburgh all the way though.

I rooted for the Whalers because of Kevin Dineen, so the Panthers aren't much of a stretch.
