rooting for the caps in the first round just because the pens beating them in the playoffs never gets old
Teams you're supposed to hate but are rooting for.

You see this I don't get. The Canucks are an afterthought to Leafs fans, we only play you guys twice a season. There is no rivalry between the Vancouver Canucks and Toronto Maple Leafs and never will be, geography combined with NHL scheduling will never allow it to happen.
The Bruins on the other hand is an organization that shattered your fanbases hopes and dreams of its first Stanley Cup, a franchise that indirectly was the cause of massive riots that gained Canada wide and international media attention.
Don't get me wrong, a fan can have his/her own opinion and preference but yours just baffles me.

I feel like I’m supposed to hate the Jets due to some weird Matthews/Laine fan made rivalry but I don’t. I would love to see the Jets kill it through these playoffs

Absolutely hate Philly for many reasons (including the rowdy and immature fans) but I would love to see The Pens eliminated in the first round.
Let me add that the despite the reputation of the fanbase there are some pretty great and cool fans including quite a few on here.

Uhhhh. Colorado I guess. I don't hate them necessarily. But I certainly don't like them. But I would be quite happy if they beat Nashville.
Only way my answer changes is if San Jose and LA play each other but even then it's kinda like...can they both lose?

Same here. Rooting for both the Pens and Flyers. Please, Hockey Gods, hear my prayers and make the series between two Pennsylvanian teams long till game 7 with lots of overtimes, brawls and fights in every game, cheap shots and other f***s. I want whoever comes out of this series will be exhausted and done, so whoever comes out of our series prevail in the next round
LMFAO. You hate the Leafs more than the team that gave the Nucks a holy beating in 2011? Man Nucks fans like you just make everyone in BC look bad. When is this inferiority complex ever going to end?
It's not a Canucks thing trust me. Most Nucks fans still hate the Bruins with a passion. I know other Nucks fans outside Van who are pretty chill. This whole Toronto thing is more of a Vancouver problem than a Canucks fan one. People in Vancouver just have this weird obsession with all things Toronto and the local sports media (1040) always incites it. I remember when the Raptors played preseason games here, people were getting angry and said Vancouver should support Portland rather than the Raptors. Samething with the Jays...there's a whole group of them in Van who actively cheer for the Mariners when the Jays come out west.
The whole thing is just weird. I honestly don't get it myself.

Kings in the first round...mostly because I hate Vegas. Can't stand the whole agenda about how they are the best expansion team ever while ignoring the fact that every part of the expansion process was more favorable than the other franchises of the past 20-30 years. (Yes a little bitter as a Sharks fan)
I'm supposed to hate Vegas because of McPhee, but I'm totally rooting for them. I guess I'm supposed not to like Filip Forsberg, too, but I'm rooting for him/Nashville.

That’s cool. As much as I hate Boston I was cheering for them against the Nucks in the finals and was rewarded with a game 7 and follow-up riots that I still look back at with a smile
Regarding the original post, as a Leaf fan I shouldn’t like Laine and the Jets but I like them and hope to see them in the final. Great young team over there

I think it's either one of those Frasier-like angry-row-turns-into-heated-passion thingies, or then both sides are unadmittingly rooting for the magnificent Matthews/Laine SC Finals blowout.
Listen as a Habs fan, I might be crucified for this but I never really hated the Leafs. Both teams never had a big rivalry and both teams have never really been good at the same time in recent memory. They are playing the Bruins, which I despise. Hope the Leafs win handily.

Did you even watch the 2011 Cup Final?
Also, do you really think Leafs fans care either? It's the largest hockey fanbase in the world. Nobody is losing any sleep in Leafs Nation.
LOL.

Asking stupid questions is another reason why people don’t like the leafs or their fans.
LOL
Again, nobody in Leafs nation is losing any sleep. Largest hockey fanbase in the world is loud and obnoxious. Get used to it.

I don’t know. You guys sure tend to pop up whenever people talk about it (like here) so I think you might be losing some sleep over it.
