So.... who is your 'Playoff' Team?

[Cornuck]

Since we won't be seeing any Canucks in the playoffs for a year or two - I was curious to see who you have for your 'team to follow' or 'team to root for' in the playoffs this year?

Not necessarily who you want to win - but just who are want to see win the Cup?

...and you can add "the why" if you're so inclined.

[Meds]

I probably won’t tune in much at all.

I’ll root for Dallas in hopes Myers can get a Cup.

I wouldn’t have been opposed to Colorado until they required Kadri.

[Carl Yagro]

100% Buffalo.

It's been fun to see our expansion cousins turn it around, a night and day difference after firing their GM.

Somehow their 56 years lack of success is worse than ours, so I hope they can go deep. Those guys, especially the loyal ones like Dahlin, deserve some joy. Finally.

[Hockey Widow]

Not Minnesota. But never want Hughes to win it. Not Oilers, for obvious reasons. I’d be happy for Dallas and Myers. But I think k it will be Avs and Tampa.

[Lancer]

I'll go with Avs. Fuck Minny and Quit.

Hard to hate Carolina.

[theman]

Buffalo and Dallas, pretty much for reasons already mentioned in this thread.

[BCExpat]

Colorado - for the exact opposite reason Mëds isn't rooting for them.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Any Canadian team.

All this hatred hasnt worked out so well for us now has it?

I support this. Bring the cup back to Canada!
Lord Stanley explicitly said the cup should be awarded to the best team in the dominion.

I don't think the US teams qualify.

Lol

I’ll never cheer for Edmonton, Calgary, or Toronto.

[Madcombinepilot]

I’ll let you know if I am watching playoff hockey in april (prolly April 2030!)

Y’all a bunch of wagon jumpers!

You need to head downtown and buy a McGayvid jersey today Mëds. It's the only way to break the cycle

[JelloPuddingPop]

Don't have a specific team - but will cheer for the ones playing against Minny and Buffalo. Guerin got his already, and I don't want the Sad Club getting smaller... Vancouver has a lot of questionable records against - think Gretzky's 802 etc. It would be the worst, if they were to be the last NHL club to win a SC. Buffalo offers a slight hope this won't be the case.

If a Canadian team makes it deep, I'll always cheer for them*. Bring that cup home! '93 is toooooooooooooo long ago.

*Edited, no. In hindsight, that isn't quite true. I'll never cheer for Toronto.

[Cornuck]

I'll follow Carolina, since a good friend is a fan. They're one of the few teams I don't hate (yet).

If a Canadian team is to win it, I could hand Ottawa or Montreal bringing the Cup home.

Buffalo? Fuck them - I don't want them to win the Cup before us - let them suffer.

If Myers wins the Cup with Dallas, I'll enjoy watching him carry it.

The rest? I'll tune in randomly and watch a few games to see some good hockey.
