I grew up in NJ, but I'm Rangers fan at heart and have been for about 15 years. This is the first time they've made it to the playoffs in quite a number of years, and in fact are in 3rd - not too bad. I'm Rooting for New York!

Your Senators are looking strong this year...They're playing Tampa(my current hometeam) in round one. Should be interesting.

I've been playing hockey since I could first strap on a pair of skates and hold a stick in my hand, so I just love hockey in general.

I am happy to report that my beloved Buffalo Sabres are back in the playoffs this year. We hope to avenge that HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE call in the 1999 Stanley cup finals against the Stars.

well, i'll be watching from the sidelines and will have to pick a favorite as we do not have an NHL francise here in the Boston area! just a training and retirement camp!
i might root for the sharks as they have that no good player thorton.
teams i wont root for
so far
1) the habs, gets kinda old when you have the officials on your side at your home games.
2) buffalo -- home of that miser cheapskate Jacobs- the man who destroyed the bruins!
3) any newyork team ie. rangers isles devils -- sorry but they have too mnay teams in every sport.

Dude I cant begin to understand what that was like! Can one get over something like that?-I don't think so. I pray some bad call doesn't get made or something against my sens! Imagine if hasek was playing and it happened again to him in the finals.

Thumbs up go hurricanes!

My favorite team has always been the Canadiens since I was young. But, now living in Raleigh NC, I like the Hurricanes. My wife actually loves watching them on TV. She gets so pissed off when they loose. Although, after the Olympics we have not been doing well ( losing Eric Cole and all ). But you never know. It would be good for the sport here in the south to have the Stanley Cup for a year, or two, or three or....

I'm a very casual hockey fan. I like the Pens, mainly due to Mario. But of course they didn't make the cut.

I've watched quite a few Hawks games on TV and listened to a few on the radio, but can't call myself a die-hard fan of them either. I'm enough of a fan to hate Detroit, though. So if it can't be the Pens or Hawks, and the I don't want it to be the Wings. I'd like it to be an Original 6 team, or a Canadian team, so I guess I'll be pulling for the Sens or maybe the Lanche. That said, I do have a Sharks cap. Guess I may have to pull for them.


Sounds pretty wishy washy doesn't it. But I am firm in my distaste of the Red Wings.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Detroit!

My team (NY Isles) is already starting on their summer plans. And I'm happy to see the Rangers couldn't hang on to their division title. And now they are gonna lose in the first round to the team that took it away from them, NJ. As for who is gonna win, I think I'd like to see Buffalo or Carolina in the finals, but I think Detroit will win it all.
PS. If anyone is looking for a high paid, low scoring superstar, please take Yashin off our hands.

I was going to college in the twin cities back when they were still in Minnesota. You don't know how many times I've kicked myself for not attending at least one game.

Like I said the main thing is BOOOO Detroit! Alright we'll have a Dr. Pepper and pull for the Stars! Woo Hoo!
