Rank teams in the order you cheer for them

[Knies iT]

1. Toronto

2-31. Don't care.

Wish I could cheer for the Jets as a top Canadian team, but their Finnish fans and anti-Toronto sentiment ruins any chance of that. Nashville is probably the only other team I could stomach seeing win at the moment.

Its Leafs first, I don't really have the desire to make an entire list but with regards to a "second team" I'd pick the Colorado Avalanche, I've always liked Sakic, Roy and their legacies there plus I love their jerseys, very happy they went back to their classics.

 

[MessierII]

Oilers
Boston
Islanders/Winnipeg
Any other team that has players I like.





Calgary

 

[SladeWilson23]

1. Devils

28. Penguins
29. Islanders
30. Flyers
31. Rangers

 

[Pay Carl]

1. Bruins
2. Islanders

The middle pretty much changes every few years as teams identities and narratives change

Dallas and Vancouver near the bottom

29. Pittsburgh
30. Montreal
31. Toronto

 

[Pay Carl]

How can you root for any team except your own? In the playoffs, I root against the Flyers and Caps. But after that, I don’t care too much.

When I was younger I felt like I could rally behind other teams after Bruins were eliminated

Years of being on here and dealing with obnoxious fans from every team has jaded me where I pretty much hate every other team

 

[Lights911]

1. Islanders
2. Blackhawks
3. Leafs

Lightning - I love their fans and I have nothing against them, but there's just a lot of emotional baggage there so I'm unsure what to do with them.

Sabres
Flames
Canes

[Machinehead]

I'm loving the Colorado vs Minnesota salt.

Had no idea it was that intense.

 

[Coffey]

I’d have to make two lists.
Hate the team due to their play/rivalries.
Hate the team due to their fans.

I think most lists here are a combination of both.

 

[Machinehead]

How can you root for any team except your own? In the playoffs, I root against the Flyers and Caps. But after that, I don’t care too much.

I didn't until I joined HF but as you get to know other fanbases, you make connections. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.

 

[Dzonna]

1. Leafs by far
2. Caps
3. Wherever Ovechkin plays next

[StatisticsAddict99]

Favourites:
1. Winnipeg - Where I live and the team I have followed since 2011(unfortunately I wasn’t alive for Jets 1.0), my main team.
2. Vegas - Absolutely love Vegas.
3. Pittsburgh - Was my favourite team before the Jets came back and had great memories watching Pens playoff games with my late Grandfather(if it where not for the fact that they are a competitor for the Jets and the entire league today due to they’re utter dominance they would easily be number 2, but I just don’t like them like I used to)
4. Chicago - Was my second favourite team with one of my favourite players in Toews
5. Calgary - Just one of those teams I used to like and still do, plus I like Calgary

Dislikes:
27. Edmonton - I like they’re they’re fan base but don’t like they’re organization, I simply can’t get over all of those 1st overall picks they had and wasted, so I guess it’s more that I don’t like they’re coaching, management and lottery luck.
28. Nashville - I respect them, they’re management, they’re fan base and team but I just can’t like a division rival who has been so good over the years.
29. Montreal - Similar aspects like Edmonton(wasted talents and bad management) but also the fact they would beat down on my favourite team in its opening years of Jets 2.0, so the reason I dislike them now is allot different from why I disliked them before.
30. Anaheim - I hate them so much, if Selanne didn’t play and win a Cup with them they’d be 31 with ease and if not for Perry this team would be sitting in the mid ranks, but I really don’t like that Perry guy.
31. Toronto - Used to be one of my favourites(pre Jets 2.0) but not anymore, I like they’re team and organization but they’re fan base is too much to handle and very cocky.
