Just wondering what others' attitudes were to this..
Sabres are my first love, hometown team, and they'll always come first. If they're in the race/playoffs, that's it, that's who I root for. Everything else is periphery.
But they're trash this year and look fully out of the playoff race. Even if they go on a miraculous tear I just don't see much happening this year.
So I root for my second favorite team, the Sharks. I'm a bit less passionate about them, but for the rest of the year when I flip on a game it'll likely be Sharks. When playoffs roll around I'll be all-in for the Sharks to win, followed by teams I kinda like (Flames) and rooting against teams I dislike (Leafs).
Just wondering how others do it, cause I make kinda a hard switch that might be considered somewhat bandwagonish. I figure the reality is it isn't Buffalo's year, I spent time in SJ and legit love that team, but as long as both have a shot I gotta stick with Buffalo. I now know that ain't happening this year, so I'll pick the second prettiest girl at the ball, so to speak. Thoughts?
