Boston or Toronto: Who are you rooting for/against?

[the]

I’ve always been a fan of Jaroslav Halak so I’ll be cheering for Boston.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

So, what happens when one of the teams scores? Some sort of a Howard Dean scream? Yeeaaawwwwww

I hope every game is triple OT and the winner gets swept in the 2nd round

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I ripped on my Leaf fan friends forever for not winning anything for years. The moment they win a cup all I will hear is .... 93

 

[Habs Halifax]

This is why I don't want the Maple Leafs win it all. I just can't stop making fun of Leafs fans.

Canada is the only place in the world where the Leafs fall in the autumn and in the spring

 

[Hab Bateman]

I voted for Boston but I really don't care as long as the Lightning absolutely humiliate the winner in the next round.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Boston because I never want the Leafs to get out of the first round.

Also because I respect Bergeron more than anyone in the league, and love watching Pasta, Marchand, McAvoy, and DeBrusk.

Also also because I love Rene Rancourt, and I think Jack Edwards is the most entertaining commentator in the league (though Mudryk has given him a run for his money lately).

We’ve already dealt with a Bruins Cup. Them winning again wouldn’t really add anything, I never run into Bruins fans.

But the Leafs fan base is disgustingly nauseating and now pretentious. I don’t think I could deal with them winning. Let them lose, then move on to Matthews’ large contract and Marner’s equal contract and see how they can manage that.

 

[Habs178]

Boston. All the way.

 

[antoniojr]

I hope the Bruins beat them, then lose in the second round.

 

[Tourist]

I hate the Bruins...but in a twisted, shameful, puke worthy way I respect them.

I hate the Leafs.

Not not go Bruins go (smh).

 

[Tuggy]

Bruins in round 1 and whoever is playing the Bruins in round 2.

I want the Leafs to lose forever.

 

[sheed36]

Not surprised by the results. The results would be even more lopsided if insecure Leaf fans weren't coming to this thread and voting for their Leafs.

 

[sampollock]

Figs must go out,
The the playoffs are covered well, and the peg will get some press

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

There’s something to be said about having the Leafs continuing to lose. I can definitely get behind that. ESP with all that talent. Just makes me laugh.

 

[OB5]

I am lifelong fan of the Montreal Canadiens and whoever the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing.

 

[BladeRunner66]

Didn't think Bruins would win that poll so easily, Go Bergeron!

1. Boston Bruins

2. Toronto Maple Leafs

I hate to say this but Boston. TSN’s Leafs hype train has been sickening since Tavares deal, hopefully Laffs will fail in epic porpotions.

 

[Habs Halifax]

- Leafs scored 9 more goals and allowed 19 more goals (this season vs last season).
- Tavares scored 47 goals which is 2 goals less than JVR and Bozak last year
- Bozak production last year = Kadri's production this year (3rd line minutes)

I question how much better Tavares made the Leafs this year. They used their cap space on a center that they didn't need when it should of been used on a D man. I don't blame them, You don't say no to Tavares. But this team is in trouble in terms of making improvements moving forward. They are going to have to make a trade at some point.

You don't go on deep runs with a D like that

 

[Paddyjack]

Boston by a hundred miles. I hate Boston as much as anyone else here but it is hate that includes a high level of respect (except Marchand). Toronto and their self-labeled "Canada's team" have a roster that seems like the Second Coming of Jesus by their fans yet ended the season 4 points ahead of the Habs. I'm amazed. Go Bruins!

 

[Bobby Digital]

Toronto for sure. Love the way the went about their rebuild. Did it near perfectly.

 

[Lshap]

It really is funny to see rival fans voting for their own team in our poll. It's all good, just harmless fun after all, but I have to wonder what the point is. Do they believe the series is being decided by democratic vote?

 

[sandviper]

I HATE the B’s so much that I refuse to use the letter B in my everyday vocaulary.

 

[slybel]

Against Both.... but Boston should take it.

 

[sheed36]

While checking the Bruins pre game talk thread for the B's line combos, injuries and stuff I read a couple of interesting posts from a poster in the thread.

Really this question is;

Which turd sandwich would you prefer to eat sir.

As much as I hate Boston and Edwards, and their whole fan base as a whole. Just something about Leaf fans that really irks me. I don't know, can't quite put my finger on it. Perhaps their ignorance and lack of any actual hockey knowledge, but hey, they act like they have a clue. They think that they are God's team because they are decent, or relevant once or twice every few decades.

I wish we had a third option. Can I choose the referees instead?
