Jealous?
Get going on that date RL! We have some .... business to conduct here and you can't be around for that.
It's a surprise.

A. Not sure why anyone jumps on playoff bandwagons. I cheer for one team and that's the Avs. Even if they aren't in the playoffs I'm not cheering for anyone else. It's us or no one in my books.
B. There is no way in hell I'd cheer for the Preds after what I've seen the past two games. Obnoxious whiny divers for players, and an extremely arrogant fan base considering they've never won a damn thing. Both add up to a team that I can't stand.
People who are upset about Avs losing this 2 games in Nashville, just remind yourself this....
Nashville is the best team in the NHL
Nashville has tons of experience and were in finals last year
Nashville has zero injuries.
Avs are the youngest team in the NHL
Avs finished last year with 48 points
Avs have very little playoff experience.
Avs don't have their best d-man, their #1 goalie and lost another top d-man for game 2
Yet they kept both this games close. I'm actually very proud of this team right now, yes you heard it right. Me saying I'm proud of this team, unless they finish next year with 48 points again
Mark your calendars folks!

Maybe not on a playoff bandwagon, but there's always one team I'd rather have win in any given matchup, if it's for the Cup.

Well when your team isn't in it/is eliminated, it's more fun to have a team you would like to win.
Sometimes I jump on bandwagons, why not enjoy hockey a little longer? I’m a hockey fan more than I am an Avs fan (not the same with any other sport—if my team is out I don’t care). Also, there are teams I root against no matter what.

I more so jump on anti bandwagons than anything else. Last year I was all aboard the Preds bandwagon because I hate Pittsburgh.
The only way I'm rooting for Nashville now is if it's in the finals against Pit again. Otherwise I think Winnipeg, Vegas and SJ are easier to root for. The embellishing is just gross, and any team that steps on the Mild's throat I've got time for.
Out East I think my preferences are obvious lol.

Right now I'm fully behind the Jets, but after round one the West can go suck it. Sharks out of the West please.
The only reason against the Sharks coming out of the West, is that makes their bid for Tavares stronger lol.
That's the thing, I'm not sure I actually like any of the other teams so that's why I don't hop on any teams bandwagon.
I’ll admit it’ll be much harder to root for the Preds should they advance to the SCF but I still want to see Subban stick the ultimate dagger in Bergevin and Molson

LOL, I didn't think of that! I'd pick the Kings out of the West next, because I don't really feel strongly about them, but that's not looking great.
Vegas I just can't get behind. Nashville and the Jets are kind of the same for me. I don't dislike them very strongly, and I like some things about each.

I mainly cheer for certain teams to lose after the Avs are eliminated, like last season I was rooting for the Ducks to lose whatever series they played in.
This year, it'll be both the Ducks and Predators that I actively root against.

There’s not many teams I don’t want to win. Ducks, Pens, Leafs are really the only teams I’d root against at this point. I really want the Caps to make some noise but, I don’t see that happening. I’d root for the Bruins the most out of the teams left though.

I would love to see Pittsburgh win. IMO they'd go down as one of the greatest teams of all time if they could three peat during a salary cap era.
Of the top teams, Washington has probably the most difficult 1st round opponent.

Yup. I’d love to see Ovi finally get a cup, but I can’t see that happening while he’s with WSH. They’d have an insanely tough run to the cup finals if they actually did make it.

For me I probably jump on the Vegas bandwagon, when/if they get bounced I probably switch to either Nashville or Columbus

Avs are not playing a bad series. To be honest, it’d be split or they’d be up 2-0 if not for Nashville’s advantage in net.
Bernier hasn’t been awful, but he’s allowed at least one questionable goal in each game.

Im very much over Vegas. I'd love to see Columbus go deep though, I love Panarin.
