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

[Aaronp18]

None of the above.

I'll watch some of the hockey because its the playoffs but I can't bring myself to cheer for any other team.

I’m like ap caring is a distant thought… I will hope for non advancement for certain teams but really couldn’t give a rats ass …

I get this - and that's why I used the term 'follow' I won't be scheduling my life around the playoffs, and it's rare that I actually 'cheer' for a goal, unless it's against some team.

Cheering is saving this franchise, let's just hope there's something to cheer for soon.

I'll probably cheer for Ottawa. It's the only Canadian team that I don't totally despise (including the Canucks right now), and it's mostly because I hate Tarana just that much.

Lol, some salty crabs in here wanting to pull the other crabs back down into the cage with them

Literally have not watched any playoff hockey the last few years and will continue not caring too much. Whoever wins, wins. Will find out later in the summer or when training camp starts again.

More concerned/excited? about if and how this franchise shoots itself in the foote again at the draft. It's time to have our pick hobble up to the stage on crutches again... or maybe roll up in a wheelchair this time.

The NHL is dead to me, the Canucks have ruined it.

I still watch the playoffs. Love them. Family member is a big Jets fan so they are sort of the second team in the house, but they aren’t making it.

I usually choose a team to pull for in each series, based on friendly family pre-playoff bracket. Makes it more fun to want one team to win. Once that family bracket is settled, it’s been easy the last couple years. Cheer for whoever the Oilers are playing…. And beyond that, there are teams that are just more fun to watch. Colorado and Tampa for the skill, Florida for the jam and moxy.

If the Sabres step into the experience, I can see myself pulling for them simply because it’s gratifying that one franchise as bad as the Canucks can actually turn a corner….

That's a shame - hockey is the best sport, and the NHL playoffs are the best example of it - I can see not wanting to watch Canucks games for a while, but writing off the league seems extreme.

I guess the term follow to me has some sort of dedication to a single team connotation. Which I quite to fandom really.

So can’t follow a specific team either!

I guess terminology is fluid.

I'm a fan of the Canucks.
I follow the Nebraska football team (I check the score after most games)

[Picker of Cherries]

I don’t think it’s possible that Buffalo or Vancouver will ever win a cup.
They’re both cursed.
I’ll cheer for Buffalo because I’d like to see a miracle.

Fair.

When it comes to the Canucks being out of the playoffs I can’t say I ever follow a specific team though. I would say I follow the playoffs!

It’s more about who you’re not rooting against.

Depending upon theories I agree. I am always open to a new team winning the Cup. That makes it exciting, albeit frustrating as a long suffering Canucks fan.
