Fans of teams that aren’t in it, whose bandwagon are you jumping on?

[Grifter3511]

okay I have to ask , ask a Canucks fan...why not Florida?
I (think)totally get why the Rangers or Oilers would make you physically ill

I'm guessing because Florida has never won it before so if they do there will be one less team in Canuck's boat and one more team that has accomplished more than them.

Dallas or Florida. Both well-built teams. I admire Dallas in particular for their ability to find gems in the draft. Losing Jim Nill will haunt the Red Wings for another 20 years.

Oilers lucked into a generational talent after drafting 1st overall four times in six years. Nothing against their fans, who played no role, but I find that hard to root for. Holland is a below-average GM, and if they win, it will be in spite of him.

New York, I'll just say that the attitudes of certain posters on this site and others put me off somewhat. I know it's not representative of an entire city, but tends to be more noticeable among the largest fanbases. Call it a numbers game. Big fan of Panarin, though.

But in any case, I'm happy with this final four and wouldn't lose sleep over any of the teams winning. Sure beats watching the Lightning, Penguins, Hawks, etc. of the past 15 years.

man, it was 8 freakin years ago. 8. And only nuge and Mcdavid remain. Weird that some ppl like you just can’t let it go. The entire team changes every year as well as the coach. Lol

The penguins basically did as well. It happens.

Hoping for a Canadian team to win. So edmonton.

I want to see an Edmonton/Florida final and I want to see Bobrovski lift the cup. McDavid will get his next year.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Nope.

I'd cheer for Calgary though. Their fans treat the stanley cup playoffs like mardis gras!

It's the bandwagon jumpers treating the playoffs like Stampede time. They don't care about the hockey, they just wanna get wasted.

God that was hilarious haha

Edmonton.

I wish Florida was not coming out of the East - it's unlikely they lose the Cup 2 years in a row.

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

i mostly cheer against the non canucks canadian teams but also have a fondness for cheering against teams getting their first title

this coming final is looking like a real f*** of a sophie's choice but nahhh not even close

if edmonton makes the final call me joe panther

 

[Ducks in a row]

My favorite team the Ducks aren't in the playoffs but the Panthers my 2nd favorite team is now in the finals. Hopefully Panthers win the

Wouldn't you want to see the worm hoist the cup one last time before sailing off into the sunset?

Getting on the Florida bandwagon.

 

[SkinsFan09]

Anyone but the Rangers, thank you Florida.

Opposite, I’ll cheer for the Canadian team, or a team that’s never won one.

Florida and Dallas. If it comes down to both of them, Florida. Sun belt team that is damn fun to watch and Paul Maurice is a gem of a coach and usually makes for a hell of an interview.

 

[Mr Positive]

What's funny that for years as an Oiler fan who didn't get to see playoffs for that long stretch, I gained a soft spot for the Panthers. But of course I hope this thread is never for me.

 

[NYRfan85]

Even though Florida just ousted my team, I am still pulling for them to win the Cup. I always root for teams to win their first Cup. Now, if it was Vancouver instead of Edmonton, I'd be rooting for the Canucks.

 

[End on a Hinote]

Canada's a changing demographic fella. Relax.

If it means us actually excelling at other sports for a change, I'm all for it.
