I cheer for the Hawks because Jonathan Toews is my favourite NHL player at present. Duncan Keith is a former Kelowna Rocket and semi local kid growing up near by. Also attached to them as Team Canada gold medalists.
I've liked the Hawks a long time as previously Denis Savard was my favourite non Leaf player in the past.
When you're a Leaf fan, having a fallback plan for hockey entertainment value in the playoffs is always a good idea.

Some Western conference team. In previous years its been Nashville, San Jose and Anaheim. This year it'll be one of Anaheim or San Jose, maybe both

I usually root for the Hawks after Toronto's season is over (had two uncles who lived and died Hawks) but this year I'll be rooting for Colorado. Interesting team, they're young and well coached. They'll probably get bounced in the first round but it should still be fun to watch.

It's still fun to have a rooting interest while watching the rest of the playoffs. Makes the games more interesting.

I love the Hawks. Great team, extremely exciting to watch, love their arena and goal horn, and in general I like the players on their team a lot. The 2010 Cup Run was one of my favourites, and that roster was probably one of my favourite NHL rosters ever assembled. It was a thing of beauty watching Toews, Kane, Sharp, Hossa, Byfuglien, Keith, Seabrook, etc dominate throughout the playoffs. And then last year where they sent the Bruins packing in an ironic fashion, with the Toronto boys Bickell and Bolland putting in the dagger 
I would also like to see the Blues and Sharks do well, both great teams with some really good players. Sharks are overdue.

Nashville is my #2 but obviously they won't make it this year so.
The Bruins. IDGAF what ya'll think, I love them.

Habs. I have been a Leaf fan my whole life and they've won nothing. This prevents the Habs from winning as well.

Colorado Avalanche. I always liked the late 90's team with Forsberg, Sakic and Roy winning cups. Now Roy is the coach and guys like Duchenne and McKinnon are the future.
McKinnon looks like hes been in the NHL for 5 years, amazing player.

I am a hockey fan and I will cheer for some team as long as there is a playoffs. I will cheer for the Bruins if the Leafs are not in.
