Both teams have 7 games left--jets are up by 3 pts

one of those two teams should be in the playoffs--who would you rather see make it to the playoffs?

Me--Jets--why? Because they are not from Calgary--Flames did not get the memo that they are supposed to be rebuilding and if they get to the playoffs it will just put a brighter light on how bad and mislead we have been

This shouldn't even be a question. Anyone that picks Flames needs to be excommunicated to the Calgary board. :P

Some players on the Jets are ********** but I'd FAR rather them make it.

Jets because:

1. They're my second favourite team
2. They're probably the better team
3. The MTS Centre will be rocking in the playoffs

Not a fan of the jets, but I'll take them over the ****ing flames any day. That way, I don't have to hear about johnny hockey for a few months.

I've developed a furious hatred of the Jets. I voted Flames.

Jets. Only reason I'd want the Flames in there so they 0 chance at winning the lottery.

If they were to just miss the playoffs, then win the Mcdavid sweepstakes... that might be the end of me.

but, otherwise, the Jets.

I voted for the Jets simply because I've seen enough of the Flames unofficial forum to say that their fanbase is the most arrogant and self centered fans in western Canada. I honestly think they are worse than Vancouver at this point.

Something weird happened. Over the last year, maybe earlier, Nucks fans have actually been pretty cool. Of course you get the odd dink who wants to troll, but most nuck fans have been pretty good on the mains. The last time I really saw an onslaught was when Kassian tomahawked Gagner. I've seen Nuck fans defend the Oilers, or Oiler players time, and time again. I don't hate them nearly as much as I used to. Flames/Jets/Habs fans have moved ahead for me.

And lol, I'm the only one who voted Flames. I don't care! I like Mark Lee, and Greg Millen, too! How you like them apples!

I don't care about fans. They're all bothersome. I voted Jets. How can you not like them. The play big and mean. Buff is one of my favourite players in the game to watch. I'll be pulling for the Jets and Sens come playoff time.

Loaded poll. Of course Oiler fans don't want the Flames in the playoffs. Ask that on the main boards and you get a different result and maybe less biased.

Winnipeg is gonna be a dark-horse for me in these playoffs. can't wait to see Byfuglien

Jets I guess. I would like to see their building/fans/atmosphere in the playoffs after this long.
Half the Flames fans in attendance wouldn't be able to see the ice surface in that dumb rink anyways.

My relationship with the Oilers is abusive.

Jets fans certainly have developed a reputation for being ****** bags rather quickly, but I don't have to live with them on a daily basis so I can let the Canadian team thing cancel it out. Seeing the flames just barely miss the playoffs gives me great joy.

Honestly I hope they both make it although I don't like either team. The optics of only Toronto and Edmonton not making the playoffs is a plus.

I voted Flames simply because it would be an embarrassment to the OBC that the Flames made it to the playoffs quicker. Any added heat on this organization to flush the crap floating at the top is a good thing. Spite for the win.

I've watched around 10-15 Jets games this year, definitely them. They play a style I wish the Oilers could play, and their fanbase is awesome.

I'm kind of torn here. I hate the flames as much as everyone else here but if the Flames do make the playoffs, it's going to make the Oilers management even more foolish and stupid. Maybe the Flames making it is the final straw and may prompt changes to the team's upper management.

I can't imagine the Oilers preaching the patience narrative much longer when your biggest archrival made the playoffs in Year2. For us, we're going to Year 6 (officially) and we still can't get out of the bottom 3.
