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

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Philly and Chicago, real only emotional engagement will be cheering against Calgary though.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

The hype begins...

 

[Mr Positive]

I was thinking of cheering for the Flyers. I wouldn't mind following the Canucks just because I dont know much of that team and I feel I should

Yes I will cheer against Calgary for sure

 

[Little Fury]

Cheering for whoever Calgary plays, Arizona is my underdog pick and IDK, Vegas I guess.

I am pissed the Oilers lost this play-in playoff. If life was normal and this was a normal playoff and the Oilers lost a best of 7 I could look at the positives and be happy with the season. But it isn’t a normal world and right now a month or two of Oilers hockey was what I needed. So I’m mad and I’m disappointed.

I’m mad the Oilers didn’t sweep the Red Wings - they’d be in the bye-group and not the bye bye group.

I’m mad the NHL went with this format.

I’m mad about the “veteran calls” teams like the Blackhawks and Ducks (circa 2017) always seem to get and the Oilers will apparently “one day get”.

I also have some perspective. Right now, not following closely though, it appears 5/8 possibly 6/8 of these play-in rounds will be upsets. What’s with that? If it was 7/8 of the “home advantaged” teams won and Oilers lost I’d be angrier.

It makes me happy to think Pittsburgh and Edmonton have a combined 25% chance of 1st overall.

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

Nobody else still has a soft spot for Hallsy?

Nope. Never did.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

As long as the Flames, Canucks, and Leafs don't win the cup I litteraly DO NOT CARE.

 

[ZJuice]

I’m going all in on CBJ.. but if they lose tonight I’m just going to watch hockey

Nobody else still has a soft spot for Hallsy?

I still like him but I will never feel bad for him

 

[Dorian2]

Haven't watched any games but the Oilers but Philly is still in so I'll be keeping tabs on the Flyers. Might even catch a game or 2 if possible. Not big on spending hours of time in front of TV any more.

Agreed.

I find it infuriating talking to friends who happen to be Flames fans. Everything is better there. Pat Maroon scores 27 goals? That’s great but Michael Ferlund has better hands. Sam Bennett will be better than Leon. 2015 Flames defence was better than 2015 (Cup champion) Blackhawks defence.

It goes on and on. Then you remember that they’ve been out of the first round a grand total of 3 times in the 30 years since Oilers and Flames won their last Cups.

And I’m someone who doesn’t harbour ill will toward either Lucic or Talbot. Wish they ended up anywhere but down south so I could be happy for any success they enjoy.

 

[FlameChampion]

I will follow box scores on phone, but doubt i'll watch any of the games to be honest.

 

[bellagiobob]

Don't mind the Canes, Cbus, Philly and if I have to choose someone in the West maybe the Avs.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

I dont have any intention of watching very closely. I tend to watch more Oilers than NHL random games and that loss to Chicago really stings.

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

The hype begins...

Have always been a fan of Philly...would gladly enjoy to see them win another Stanley Cup.

 

[The Hound]

Ehh, I’ll watch Bruins and Caps.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Done.

 

[McShogun99]

The way 2020 is going I'm fully expecting the Flames to win the Cup in Edmonton. For that reason I will cheer for whoever they play against.

 

[CageRage]

Doubt I will watch another game. Glad the Leafs are out though. Once Calgary is out I won't even bother checking scores.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

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.

You missed Vancouver.

 

[CanmoreMike]

The way 2020 is going I'm fully expecting the Flames to win the Cup in Edmonton. For that reason I will cheer for whoever they play against.

And Lucic and Talbot are co-Conn Smythe winners.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Hawks Habs finals.

 

[AlanHUK]

Hawks & Caps

I have been working on a sound theory that Taylor Hall went out to a country bar and decided to leave Arizona and come back to Edmonton then Arizona won and Edmonton lost. Then Hall sobered up bit and decided he'd try to join the Rangers.
