A man of my own heart! I usually cheer for the team I hate the least. Not a lot of those left but since some of my good friends are insufferable Bruins and Hawks fans I take special delight in them losing.

will you cheer for team like Red Wings and Lighting I think they are consider not favourite to win it all

There's a lot to like in Tampa, and seeing Detroit rip up the east on crutches would be fun, so I'd probably cheer for those two in their series.

I tend to cheer more against certain teams than for teams at least at the start. Then there is usually a team that captures my imagination. I'm probably in the minority but I often end up cheering for the Penguins just because I enjoy watching Crosby and Malkin. If I stay off of HF Boards I may even latch onto the Habs who are a pretty entertaining team except for their fans. TBay and Detroit as you say could also be ones that I bandwagon.

In some strange way when the Canucks are out, I enjoy the hockey even more as I just watch to see the skill and don't get as stressed out with the results. I'm a pretty nervous watcher when the Canucks are in the playoffs.

it would be bittersweet for Lighting to defeat the Ranger to show MSL that he wanting to leave was a mistake.......I think Detriot should be consider a threat to the top seeds Boston and Pit

Probably makes most sense to cheer for Bubba Watson

Did you know Ohlund is still listed on TB's roster? Mind = blown.

Geeze the newly found Leafs super fan is quite the crazy man.

Can't believe I'm cheering for the Bruins, but I'd love to see them drive a dagger through the heart of Leafs Nation on a nationally televised TSN game.

Dreger will be choking back tears while trying to do the panel.

LOL. The sooner the Leafs jettison Nonis, perhaps the sooner Dreger packs his bags...with his cousin gone, I don't imagine he's got too much inside information.

I would also hazard a guess that would be the end of Nonis in a GM position for possibly forever. I can't imagine another team bringing him on, to drive them into desolation.

Post of the day from the Clam on the Leaf's game day thread:

"I'll reserve my opinion of this team until after 60 minutes. The Leafs are equivalent to a bi-polar girlfriend who put's out time to time. Sometimes they surprise you, other times they have you looking at your right hand."

I burst out laughing at this one! :laugh:

I'll bet he has a role with the Flames with his patron Burke once hes axed from toronto

DustyMartellaughs · Apr 3, 2014

Burke/Nonis always reminds me of Avery's infamous quote.

JVR with his 30th....wow. Can't believe I'm cheering for the Leafs!

why is Teuvo Teravainen not in the hawks lineup when both Toews and Kane are out......

Only one person knows why

Some speculation the Hawks don't want to run up his games because of ELC stuff ,, I don't buy that

"Centers Teuvo Teravainen and Michal Handzus will be healthy scratches tonight for the Blackhawks as they take on the Wild at the United Center, coach Joel Quenneville said."

As for Teravainen, Quenneville said the rest of the season will be a "good education" for the 19-year-old.

"I think you grow with time and experience with how to put yourself in a position where you're not vulnerable. You play to your strengths and you start learning the league and players as well and you become more familiar with where to go in certain situations."

With a Carolina win, they pass the Canucks

yeah but with Toews/Kane out and center depth is not great...they should have put TT in the lineup just to see if he can a bigger role

Great news. Now lets see the 'Peg and Nashville win a few...

WetcoastOrca · Apr 3, 2014

Columbus up 2-0. Tough for the Leafs even if they win they're effectively losing chances to catch the Jackets.
