Speculation: Are you done with the playoffs? If not who are you cheering for?

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I will watch but could care less who wins now so long as it’s not the Flames or Leafs but this being 2020 you know it’s going to be a Flames Leafs final.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

ABC ANYBODY BUT CALGRY! Seeing that little no talent rat Matthew Turtlechuk list the Cup at Rogers would be too much for me.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I might check in on Arizona but that’s the extent of me giving a solitary f***.

Once again, thanks Oilers for shitting the bed.

You need to change your 10 year tire fire to 13 year tire fire.

Bye

Bye. Blind support doesn't help them. Fans, management, and the team should expect better.

You are getting all in a mood because of a 5 game series. It isn't blind support but its understanding this was not regular. We had a pretty good season up until it was suspended/abandoned and that's where I'm looking.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

I have been watching the Flyers basically since xmas so i will continue to follow them. Very impressed with the way they play and I think they will be Stanley Cup champions. Bold prediction - Scott Laughton will the "Fernando Pisani" of this year's playoffs. Not so bold prediction - Sean Couturier will win the Conn Smythe.

I think I might join you on the Philly bandwagon.

I like watching the Avs and their fans are pretty cool.

I’m not going to let the Oilers ruin my love of the best sport on earth, but damn if they aren’t trying their very best. Like I said in the PGT at least it’s summer and I won’t be stuck inside watching hockey religiously like I would be had the Oilers remained in it.

Thanks Oilers. This team sure finds new ways to disappoint. Not a reflection on myself or any of you. We just happen to be loyal fans of a shitty team.

The fact that this team didn’t go out dying on its sword in a bloody fight makes me hold this team in further contempt, especially considering all the circumstances. Just complete disdain right now. Completely gutless team.

Enjoy the rest of the summer lads! Go soak up some sun, go camping, etc.

 

[NedPlimpton]

Pretty much done.

I'll probably watch lazily while I play some Switch or something on my days off but I shan't get invested in any of it.

You know, other than not wanting Calgary or Toronto to win.

The Oilers mailing it in when it matters most is very regular. It isn't just this 4 game window. These unusual circumstances they were presented with actually gave them the biggest advantage out of almost any team and they threw it away. This seemed to start with Katz's ownership and Tambellini's search for "character" players, which meant easy to get along with but lacking any urgency, drive, sacrifice, or killer instinct. We now are stuck with a bunch of gentleman and the last guy with a chip on his shoulder is neutered due to his comfy contract. Gotta get some playoff pedigree and real veterans on this team, but that comes with baggage our insecure management and ownership cannot handle.

Nobody else still has a soft spot for Hallsy?

If they do well, sure, but I just don't think that team's good enough.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Probably watch some condensed games/ extended highlights. Might follow Montreal. Support Montreal or St. Louis to repeat .

 

[McOilers97]

Ya, they certainly are big underdogs on paper. Montreal and Chicago were too though, so I’m just going to go in without expectations.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

I'll be cheering against Calgary when I have the time but I have 4 seasons of Supergirl to watch.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Love that Columbus team for the GM's balls to the wall deadline moves last year. Great to see this risk rewarded with a great team effort this year and hopefully they beat the Leafs. Carolina too I hope has some success. Colorado is awesome to watch.

I am always ABC so whoever can beat down the Flamers I am behind.

 

[BlackDogg]

Cheering against in this order:

1. Leafs
1. Flames
2. Bettman's little bitches (Arizona, TB)
3. Bettman's newest fling thing (Vegas)

So I guess its up to Colorado then.

I understand the frustration but I don't really get the correlation. They seem to have players that have those characteristics, and Neal, Chiasson, Smith have decent swagger for vets. Better than what they had before IMO

 

[StupidGenius]

HFOil bandwagon dispersal draft?

Otherwise I'll just pull for a Colorado/Dallas/Carolina/Colombus final four.

 

[GOilers88]

Chicago/Montreal Cup Finals.

Please.

I honestly want the Leafs to be out of the draft lottery 100% then I want to see them get their asses kicked. Same goes for the Flames.

In before Cloned creates 10 new profiles to like this post.

 

[Messrules11]

ABC for sure but I wouldn’t mind a rematch of last years final.

 

[Paralyzer]

I’m mostly done. My best friend is a Leafs fan, and I’m a big fan of Barrie/Andersen/Rielly, so I’ll watch them, but it’s really not the same

Isn't it more fun to have them lose in the first round, and then not get #1? Risky but more rewarding

 

[LTIR]

All done here... Got Shaw just for Oilers. Cancelling cable.

 

[OilfaninTO]

I’ve always liked Torts so if the Bluejackets take out the Leafs tomorrow I’ll be pulling for them. Man I wish we had a task master coach like Tortorella. In the west, I’ll be pulling for whomever plays the Flames and Canucks.
