Who here at the Escapists enjoys watching Hockey? If you do, post here and say what team you root for. I expect most Canadians to post here, but perhaps others too!

My team is the Montreal Canadians, I'm not sure they will win the cup, but I hope they at least bump off Boston Bruins. :)

I've never seen a single hockey game, which is a shame, because I live like 200 meters from the best team's in my country ice rink.
Who would that be? San Jose? or Detroit? You better not be talking about Boston.

St. Louis Blues! I should probably root for the Blackhawks since I'm from Illinois, but I just love those Blues.

If there were any coverage to speak of in my part of Missouri I'd follow the Blues. Unfortunately basketball overshadows most of the season and the Cardinals overshadow the playoffs.

Sorry man, but the Nucks are gonna win! That sure is going to be a great series, the two best teams in the second half of the season, gonna be good hockey!

I actually despise hockey... A lot.

I went to school with a bunch of guys who played hockey... They were all assholes, I'm not even exaggerating, all of them.

So now I try to distance myself from hockey and anyone who plays it... Not people who like, but people who play it.

Both of my teams, the Leafs (puts on helmet), and the Wild are out of the play-offs. but I will still be watching and rooting on the canadian teams/players. If I had to pick I'm probably pulling for the Blue Jackets, just because they've never been in the playoffs

I really don't care about Chicago... they just aren't Calgary. Like I said I'm from Edmonton... the Oilers decided to stink it up this year, so at this point it's just cheering the flames OUT of the playoffs.

Truly, I am supporting any team with a Finnish player, but if I had to choose a team it'd be Philadelphia or Montreal.

I'm going with Montreal.

I'm more a fan of the sport than a team really. The outcome doesn't really matter so much as long the game is wide open, fast paced and a lot of skill is showcased... the playoffs are kind of a drag... most teams really clamp down defensively and it becomes a bit of a snorefest to watch. A lot of games are good... but it's hard to know which ones will be.
