OT: Who are you cheering for now in the NHL playoffs?

[SUX2BU]

With our team done, who are you cheering for in the playoffs?

I for one would normally call it a day after the playoff season is done, but with a number of upsets this year, things are a little more interesting.

Carolina, the islanders and Columbus are teams I might watch

How about you?

Thoughts and your comments appreciated as always

St.Louis. Never won the cup before. I like Craig Berube. They busted ass to get to this point. Can't stand Dallas so I hope St.loo blows them out of the water. I would cheer for San Jose too but there is a guy at work who is the most annoying Sharks fan so I can't now.

 

[King Woodballs]

No one. I am not watch anymore.
Between work, my kids spring/summer sports starting this week, and my own ball team in a couple weeks.
I don't have the time or the desire to pay any attention.

 

[Trinity]

I like the Islanders because they are the underdog after losing Tavares, and because their coach is from Manitoba.

 

[Tommigun]

Stopped watching completely this year.

 

[Afterburner]

Sharks. Or Team Trotz. Either or.

 

[Eyeseeing]

The Blues.....
Long suffering and pretty chill HF folk

 

[Guffman]

Islanders just for the stories...Trotz and Tavares.

Probably won’t watch much.

Blues and NYI for me. Though all teams I truly hate have been knocked out though I have a minor dislike for the Stars. Assuming the hockey world returns to normal I predict a Sharks Bruins final.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

In order of preference:

Boston (long time Bruins fan)

St Louis (feel bad they've never won)
Islanders (Trotz and a big f*** you to Tavares)
Columbus (Torts is cool)

San Jose (just a big don't care)

Colorado (hate 'em)
Dallas (hate 'em more)



Carolina (I'll just piss off some people if I start listing off the reasons)

It’s Colorado/Boston as 1A and 1B. Always been an Avs fan and love Marchand, Bergeron and Pastranak.

Wouldn’t mind The Islanders just so they can rub it in the face of Tavares. What sweet karma that would be.

Sharks is my final pick just because I want to see Jumbo Joe walk off into the sunset as a Stanley Cup Champion. Kane would kind of annoy me, (I’d get over it) but still better than Reeves and the rest of those Vegas douche bags.

Blues or Sharks in the west. Anyone but Boston in the east. I don’t even hate Boston, just reckon it’d be neat if any of the others won.

 

[Jimby]

Blues. It is their turn. I used to like them pre Jets 1.0.

 

[tntkid]

I would say the Islanders.
Tavares walked on them and Trotz managed to get this team to play good hockey.

The Jets picked a bad year to under perform because it is completely wide open in the playoffs to win the cup with all the top teams gone in the first round.

I am still disgusted with how they went out to a team they could have beat.

Boston Bruins so that Stempniak can get that ring!

 

[KingBogo]

Boston Bruins so that Stempniak can get that ring!

Because those 2 regular season games were the difference in their season

That St Louis series would have turned out differently if we'd had Stempniak instead of Wheeler.

 

[SUX2BU]

Boston -107 vs islanders- 103 for home ice advantage

Maybe

 

[Derfel]

Dallas in the West, Islanders or Columbus in the East.

 

[Neuf]

Sharks and Jackets

Columbus for me. I love how the Columbus went ALL in rather than play it safe. His gamble has already paid off. He has already made history by sweeping the club to get the most points in the regular season in modern hockey history. I had Duchene on my fantasy hockey team. When Columbus traded for him, they knew he had the reputation for taking a longer time to get used to his new team. It happened as expected. He made little impact in the rest of the regular season, but his presence has changed the face of Columbus. They have at least two very strong lines. I don't think they are just a fluke. If S. Bob. plays like he can, I think they can win it all.

 

[winnipegger]

Man does the modern NHL ever feel like it's completely random. A monkey flinging poop at a bracket board could have out-done 90% of hockey analysts.

Would love to see Joe Thorton win a cup.

 

[SoupaTroupa]

St. Louis. I'd be thrilled with a Blues/Blue Jackets final, that would guarantee a team that has never won will win. I don't want the Sharks to win though!

 

[kanadalainen]

In order:

Blues
Islanders
Sharks
Bruins

The rest I don't care about and/or don't like.
