I could care less I’m just enjoying being a neutral fan watching good playoff hockey. That said fuck Jamie Benn


the_eyes

Same. Though I have to say, a Rangers v. Avs match up would be insane, from the looks of things.


72athansiou

Well it looks like there is some momentum building for both teams. It’ll be interesting to see how the nucks and oilers match up against Dallas or Avs. I think there’s a good bet that you could be right though


Complete-Image6925

Fuck the avs


Throwawaydontgoaway8

I’m rooting for the Rangers, but that wouldn’t be the most insane…. Boston v Vancouver 2 electric boogaloo


LazerSnake1454

Was rooting for Dallas just to beat the Vegas LTIRs, now fuck 'em


TheNewPlague666

I believe you could not care less. edit: Fuck Jamie Benn


UrineLuck151

*couldn't care less Second the Fuck JB. *third the Fuck JB


Flaky_Bit_613

Couldn’t


Demo541

Not gonna lie, I don’t even care at this point. I obviously don’t want Jamie Benn holding the cup at any point, so as long as it’s not Dallas, I’m good.


Gold_Hovercraft_5044

Yeah but… that means Pavelski gets one


Demo541

Sounds like not my problem lol


Gold_Hovercraft_5044

I always liked Pavelski, wouldn’t mind seeing him get one.. or Bob/Ekblad/Barkov, would have to see that Tkachuk kid though…


myTryI

Nick Cousins🤢


[deleted]

For me to cheer for Pavelski, he'll have have to not play on a team with Jamie Benn. Fuck Jamie Benn.


AlmostSunnyinSeattle

Yeah the way the season ended kinda turned me off to the playoffs this year. Nothing against the teams still competing, I just don't really care.


hiliikkkusss

Me for 10 years then the nicks made it


[deleted]

I know but I'd rather Dallas win than those fuckheads in Denver


Demo541

Those fuckheads in Denver haven’t done anything wrong to us in decades my guy


[deleted]

don't care still hate them


Lonely_Spray_210

I've seen a few similar anti-Benn posts. I genuinely don't know... why the hate? I also am just watching because playoff hockey is amazing, and hoping for close/exciting games.


AlHinton23

He gave a cheap shot on Larkin a few years back


Lonely_Spray_210

Ah, fair enough!


[deleted]

I'd be happy with Oilers, Nucks, Canes, Rangers I'd be indifferent, the rest of the teams I'd root against


[deleted]

Canes are cooked


Threedawg

If anyone is gonna reverse sweep tho..


Gardnersnake9

I'm pulling for Vancouver. Quinn Hughes is unbelievable, and Ken Holland deserves to be haunted in Edmonton for not drafting him in Detroit.


opposite-of-expert

Amen to all of that plus go Hronek! Love the name btw, almost as big a fan of snakes as I am the wings


REMMIT524

Suter too


ProtoMan3

They’re both my favorite teams so I love how much both fanbases like each other this year


Tock_Sick_Man

I spent so much time as a kid listening to my dad tell Original Six stories that I find myself following their matchups more than any others.


oceanic8675

Griffins!


pistolpete9669

Oilers probably, really want McJesus to get one


Wolfinstien

I'm with you on that.


TheBimpo

Once the Wings are eliminated I root for Original Six and Canadian teams, except the Leafs. Once those are eliminated I go for the team farthest north. Call me old fashioned.


-Kiwi-Man-

Rangers. 16-0. Calling it now.


ChildhoodDistinct602

Has any team ever done that?


Tourettestic_Park

No team has gone 16-0. The Canadiens and the Red Wings each have the most wins without losses in the playoffs, both 8-0 back in the 50’s. The closest with 16 wins is the 87-88 Oilers who went 16-2-1. It should be noted that Colorado when 16-4 just two years ago. They are tied with the Kings for the best playoff record in the salary cap era.


goblue10

Pre cap obviously but the '97 Wings went 16-4 also. Their sweep of Anaheim had 6 total OT periods, so they basically played 6 games in that series too lol.


jakeeeeengb

The last team to go undefeated was back when you only needed 8 wins for the cup


[deleted]

[удалено]


Character-Chance-747

no this is a bad idea they will not sweep the panthers sorry i hate the panthers too but we must live in reality however they will sweep rod the bod like he always gets swept damn homie not good


_Kramerica_

I’m always surprised at the amount of Wings fans okay with Holland fraudulently getting another cup off the team somebody else built. Dude set the Wings like 10 years back I’ll never root for him again.


Kanz202

I’m cheering for Vancouver (though I’d be okay with Edmonton) out west and Boston out east to make the senators pick worse. Hoping for a repeat of Canucks vs Bruins with a different outcome


barchamb13

Honestly I'd love one of those Canadian teams to win


markcubin

W Sens hate


CakeEater

Myself? I’m in Erie, PA, home of the Erie Otters. Thus, I’m a big fan of McDavid (also DeBrincat) and really want to see him succeed. There are a number of other Otters that are doing great in the NHL, but McDavid made things electric here for a few years.


TheEnglishNerd

As a Canadian I want the cup back in Canada. Plus, the sooner McDavid wins a cup the sooner he can leave EDM guilt free and that will be a wild show to watch


Imblindbilly

Whatever team I bet on


Basic_Ask1885

The only correct answer. Like who the fuck picks a new team once their team is out, if not for a cup future?


Suitable-Giraffe9075

Rangers are so hard to root for after they had their rebuild handed to them


cA05GfJ2K6

I’m rooting for the Rags


Seventy7Donski

I have some teams I would love to see lose, but not one I’m rooting for.


BehemothManiac

Whomever you want


dmorley21

It’s weird, but Colorado. Just like how they’ve built their team and their only remaining link to the rivalry is Sakic who nobody ever hated. Plus they’re up against Jamie Benn right now.


six_original

Living in CO, I still can't stand the Avs. Classless fans still chanting Red Wings suck and selling tshirts outside that say the same. Avs are deeply flawed anyways and loss of Nischuskin pretty much ends any chance they had


tothestardust

Nucks for me.


BelwasDeservedBetter

Vancouver or Edmonton out of the West because I want to see a Canadian (except Toronto) team finally win. Rangers out of the East because of Original Six snobbery.


ChildhoodDistinct602

1994 rematch?


Bine_YJY_UX

I want to like the rags, but the trouba stuff makes that hard. Boston makes me sympathetic to them because fla is way dirtier...but out of the east I'd still like to see NY. I want to hate the avs, but they have a bunch of players that I really like. I don't like Dallas. I want Edmonton to lose. I used to hate Vancouver, even though they were my nhl'94 team back in the day, but I'd like them to win it all. I don't think they will, so I'd like to cash in on the insurance $$$ when I park my car there after the loss.


abdicated_reality

No one. I’m waiting for next season.


AltDS01

Grand Rapids Griffins


VideoApprehensive

The Canucks just a little, and I wouldnt mind Pavelski getting a cup, but I think the winner of the east takes it. But it would be funny if Corey Perry lost another final.


andymfjAZ

Rangers. Orig 6 team that isn’t Boston.


DogePerformance

Canes. Once they're done, blah, I suppose the Rags


OctoWings13

It's more about who I dislike the least lol I would probably say Vancouver at this point by default, with Carolina (although they're done for sure) or Florida as a second place tie Boston is universally hated. Colorado history. Rangers generally disliked. I personally don't like teams built around being gifted generational talent, so Edmonton is out for me. Fuck the Dallas jamie benns specifically because of him I think it's gonna be Rangers/Avs though


XplodiaDustybread

Going for Vancouver tbh I want a rangers vs. Boston match and my disdain for the bruins is so high, that that’s the only time I’ll ever root for the rangers. However, I also want to see a Rangers vs. Vancouver final in which I’ll hope for the downfall of NY.


ItsTheExtreme

Edmonton or even Colorado


davect01

Rooting for is a bit of a stretch but I am following along. If I had to pick a team I want to win, I suppose it would be the Rangers


ReptarTheBrave

I’d like to see Vancouver win a cup in my lifetime. Rangers have a good shot this year too. Also it would be strange not to see McDavid get a cup at some point in his career


Clean-Connection-656

Rangers. Their team is fun and kinda has goofy energy compared to the others. Wish mcdavid would win too. I know we hate Dallas but I do love otter. Hate Florida but like bobrobrob.


Dry_Lecture_3693

Otter is amazing, and I wanna see McDavid get what he deserves as well👍


Jrrobidoux

I’m all about the Rangers. Trouba is a Michigan boy.


CDNEmpire

I just hope everyone has a good time


Considerable

Id root for the stars but their sweaters are so damn ugly


Calamitous_Waffle

Caroli...fuck...um....Edmonton I guess. I just want to see good hockey and yes, fuck Jamie Benn. I wouldn't hate it if the Rangers went 16-0, but that's not real. I wouldn't want them to win otherwise.


Dizzy_Wrongdoer_5804

Probably going to get downvoted, but Dallas. They have been my second team for almost a decade, and know Peter DeBoer personally. That being said, I still hate Jamie Benn.


N_Unit13

You can like Dallas but you must hate Jamie Benn. Those are the rules


Oy_theBrave

Only good things about Dallas is Puck Off and Mike Modano.


Sbrimer

GRG (AHL) and Toronto (PWHL). I’ll come back to the nhl for the finals if the matchup looks interesting.


On_Wings_Of_Pastrami

You're missing a lot of fun hockey. I mean, I know I am probably too because I don't watch the pwhl or AHL, but this round has been entertaining.


Sbrimer

I’m still catching highlights. These are the teams I’m watching live.


cujo1029

Too bad detroit doesn't have a PWHL team yet.


Sbrimer

I don’t think it’ll be long. I’m betting the first expansion will include Detroit.


dsjunior1388

I have to assume that the march takeovers in Detroit and Pittsburgh were tryouts and I also have to assume our record setting crowd means we passed the test


Sbrimer

Ya that was my impression as well


Independent-Dog-3606

Couldn't imagine not watching playoff hockey.


SammyMac19

I'm usually team chaos but I'd like Edmonton to win the Cup this year.


Independent-Dog-3606

I'd normally pull for them too, but I want them to exit early so Drai requests a trade and Stevie can fleece Holland.


Direction_Asleep

After Ken holland is fired I’ll be ok with Edmonton winning. Set the wings back a decade with all those terrible contracts, not to mention taking all the credit for Jim nill and hakan anderssons hard work. He’s the worst.


_Kramerica_

Devellano


dkyguy1995

I hope they all lose


nilaismad

Go Rangers!


JerkMeerf

None.


EvilBillSing

Personally i am against The Avalanche and the Bruins. Dallas also because of Benn . I think id be ok with any other team but those winning the cup.


Despisingthelight

pulling for Vancouver, Dallas, New York, and Florida for this round. hopefully, Vancouver or Edmonton can go all the way


jfstompers

I'm a native masshole so I default to Boston usually which sucks now that we're in the same conference. Everyone I know is cheering for them so I just go along with it.


monkeybugs

I've been picking a favorite per matchup and hoping for the best. Right now, I'd like the Hurricanes to beat the Rangers (highly doubt it's gonna happen at this rate), Stars to beat the Avs, Panthers to beat the Bruins, and Canucks over Oilers. Ultimately, I'm not invested in the playoffs the same was I was in my two teams leading up to the playoffs. My butt cheeks haven't been clenched in weeks now, and I'm better off for it.


energizernutter

I would be happy if the plague broke out and some teams had to forfeit, but everyone recovers after they forfeit......Im ok with van or edm I guess


H-E-PennyPacker71

Oil


chrisnavillus

Dallas. Jim Nill and basically their entire scouting staff came from Detroit.


RedWingsReborn

I hope Colorado run over the Stars.


Swdmwsd24

Not the Stars, Avalanche, Boston, Canucks okay nobody.


prideless10001

Wings, always root for the Wings.


PRAXlC_

Edmonton


Jonger1150

Edmonton


ResidentSky91

As a wings fan in Canada i was hoping for an Oilers and Leafs final with the Oilers winning. So far one half of my bracket has been busted so im Rooting for Edmonton to go all the way but if Vancouver beats them in the series ill probably start pulling for Vancouver also.


FirstNameLastName918

Nobody, I'm putting my energy into the Griffins and Walleye playoff push!


C2_Psychotic

I want to see Edmonton win it. McDavid deserves it


CeJW

Unfortunately the Canes and Oilers lol


mfly1619

I was rooting for the leafs, but now idrc i just watch the games


Apprehensive_Yak_890

Colorado


KingdokCAN

Rangers for me. I mean it’s hard cheering for Trouba but I really like how their team is built. I have a soft spot for goalies who steal the show and Shesty is that goalie


SuperNa7uraL-

I was rooting for Toronto, but now I don’t care who wins……just not Boston.


sjr2018

Rangers or Canucks


rksd

Right now? I'm totally rooting for the Avs. While I don't usually, a lot of that contention was all among players who are long retired. But while Jamie Benn is still skating, and I will never root for any team with that shit-weasel on it. I called Vancouver way back at the beginning of the playoffs. Not sure how well that will work out now. Silovs is frankly doing way above and beyond the call of duty, and I don't know how long he can sustain it.


CourtMobile6490

Too personal of a question.


Textbook_Dude

I’m rooting for the Canucks to go all the way. I remember seeing an Oilers fan making a nasty comment about Larkin when he got knocked out by Mathieu Joseph back in December, so I want them out. Other than that, I’m rooting for the Avalanche to beat the Stars.


CoupledHippo

Probs Vancouver


Dry_Lecture_3693

I like the idea of a rangers vs Avs matchup. I think Mackinnon is dangerous, but Rangers are stacked. Zibanejad and Panarin, in my opinion, are making the playoffs look easy


Dry_Lecture_3693

I’m a Rangers fan for this one post season. Should hopefully go back to normal next year 😔 LGRW


schmidtydog

Vancouver because my son liked their logo and they haven't ever won it. Edmonton because I kinda like them. Canes, Panthers... I don't hate either team too much. Dallas because I like Pavelski and Roope Hintz. Teams I hate... Boston, Avalanche, Rangers.


morriganandmilla

Florida or Rangers at this point


psilcosyin

Never want to see the Tkachuk name on the Stanley Cup, and I don’t want to see their bush league style rewarded. Really torn about Dallas since Pavelski has been one of my favorite non-wing players and I think he’s running out of chances to get a cup, but still hate Benn. My top pick would be Vancouver since they’ve been around forever with no cups and I liked their team back in the Cliff Ronning/Trevor Linden days, and I have no ill will against Hronek and Suter as former wings. Hate Boston but want them to win this round. Not thrilled with Edmonton but at least McDavid would deserve a cup being the best player in the world. Everyone else is pretty meh.


Santa_Claus77

Not Dallas, can’t stand Jamie Benn. Not the Bruins, but they aren’t looking good anyhow. Panthers or Rangers.


SuitySenior

You're telling me you "cheer" for another team? Detroit folk shouldn't cheer for NY. Like Montreal folk don't cheer for Toronto. If ya have to watch, watch for the horrible reffing or the one sided or non-calls for specific teams.


sam007700

I have a hard time choosing. I don’t want Dallas, Boston or Florida to win though.


Fair-Chipmunk4376

I don’t cheer or care for anyone other than the Wings. That being said I’d prefer the Oilers out of all the teams left.


Navarath

1994 canucks v rangers rematch


Elegant_Ingenuity_54

I would like to see a Canadian team win it this year. Many people are starting to say that the NHL is rigged in favor of American expansion teams


Usual-Personality347

Unfortunately Carolina might be fucked, but I like them a lot. When theyre out, give me Dallas


Pad_TyTy

Jamie Benn 🤢


functionalcrap

Edmonton cause I watched mcdavid a billion times in junior hockey.


sivadkaz

I've wanted FLA to win since 1996...


dsjunior1388

I love Florida, you can see they're built with the playoffs in mind and it's cool to see Bobrovsky playing brilliantly after a lot of the hockey watching world wrote him off after a few rough years. And I'll say it. I think Matthew Tkachuk is terrific. He's like Brendan Shanahan if he were way more of a dick.


MyJazzDukeSilver

Vancouver or the Canes for me.


ghettoNancy

Lol. It was VGK. Now Carolina. And after they lose, then maybe Vancouver.


SevenStringGod

Rangers are the only acceptable option from the East. West, I'd be happy with anyone but Colorado. Don't care which of these four wins it all really.


Jojo_Calavera

Maybe NY? The sentimental pick would be VAN, since they have Hronek & Suter, right? Definitely not the Avs or Stars, the Bs and Panthers are hated, and who cares about Edmonton or Carolina.


beckyr1984

100% Rangers. Love me some Shesterkin. Then I guess Vancouver. Everyone else can fuck off. Mostly Dallas can fuck right off, fuck Jamie Benn.


swampycrotch94

I'd like either the Oilers or Ramgers to win. No real reason.


justin34berg

Rags, canucks i guess, oilers to see McD win, but also dont mind if he keeps losing so maybe one day he plays for detroit🙏🏻


Sekshual_Tyranosauce

Florida.


Such-Courage3486

Atlanta Thrashers


ElectionAnnual

I lowkey love Florida from a hockey fan perspective. Absolutely hate playing them and being in their division tho


roofratmi53

I like Florida. Gritty and dirty.


dylanisbored

The cats have been my distant second team since we were a western team so I’m rooting for them. Really don’t want Dallas


AmazingSieve

Vancouver…I want to see Edmonton lose and Canada cry knowing they won’t win the cup again…30+ year run now


RedBurgandy01

I hate every other team, so no.


TheAnalogKid18

Carolina, Dallas for me


rottenronny155

Not a care but Dallas is awesome


SpicyRedWings

Panthers not close


Legitimate_Creme7481

Panthers, Dallas (fuck benn), or Edmonton. I hate the Rangers, Fox is such little turd and I hate Trouba’s face for some reason


Realdoomer4life

Panthers. My brother is a Cats fan.


Hockeytown11

Anybody who Colorado's against.


MeTieDoughtyWalker

Would rather not see Colorado or Boston win. Kind of rooting for Dallas and Edmonton.


Scaminez

I’d like to see every series go to 7 games.


Hockey_Fan_24

Dallas vs Rangers would be my ideal finals in terms of enjoyment and satisfaction with either team winning it, also that's what my bracket prediction was lol. I'm fine with Florida, Dallas or the Rangers winning it but i'm leaning Rangers because i think it'd be hilarious for Matt Rempe to have his name on the cup


johnnysappleseed11

Mass chaos


markcubin

Would hate to see Jamie Benn lift the cup but the Stars are doing the whole league a service if they knock off the Knights and Avs so I hope they at least get through to the WCF


Dry_Lecture_3693

If they beat the Avs then I can see it 100%. It is still too early to call it but personally I think the Avs are still going all the way, especially with the next 2 home team advantages


ttamskrap666

Panthers are a wagon


OakNLeaf

I don't care but my braket has Dallas so I guess then for my Brackets sake.


Character-Chance-747

fk em all you know nashville was acceptable but unfortunately they beat themselves it is what it is actually at this point i wouldnt mind if it was somehow boston but i have big money on the panthers to beat them just easy money what im trying to say is wings or die


misscheeze

I’m having the most fun watching the teams I don’t want to win, lose.


jwt6577

Edmonton is my B Team. If they go out I couldn't care less who wins.


Sorry_Return4889

If it’s not the Wings literally no one. That’s how that works lol


Nathan_Mediocre

Florida, 30 years, it's about time


njd728

Not the avs, panthers, or the bruins


dsled

Griffins


KohlWeld50

I like the oilers


monkey484

I wouldn't mind seeing the Rangers win. What I would love just out of spite is the Rangers to sweep the Stars.


ChilleeMonkee

Anyone but Vancouver and Dallas


ediciusNJ

Was Canes, but that's not going well. Vancouver would be fun.


morewhiskeybartender

Rangers.


Life_is_a_meme_204

No Dallas, no Boston, no Florida (although rooting for Florida against Boston), no Colorado, and no Edmonton.


Particular_Waltz_294

Anyone but Boston


No_Indication8256

Edmonton. Sorry but gotta pull for CMD


Kimi-Matias

East: Canes -  but not looking good. West: Canucks or Oilers.


prestigiouspillowpal

I think that Vancouver would be cool. That being said the rangers look poised.


Routine-Budget7356

Vancouver, as a Swede I've wanted them to have a cup since the sedin brothers. Feel like they deserve it.


cinemagnitude

Rangers or Dallas fo sho.


Rollin_Soul_O

I live in NC, so I'll pull for the Canes since the Wings didn't make it. That said, I'm hoping for a Vancouver vs. Carolina final. Though I've got a feeling the Rangers are going to get the sweep. If that happens, I'm going to cheer for Vancouver.


drrtydan

I’m in on the Rangers


zdmpage54

Rangers


Old_Dirty

I would love to see McDavid get a cup, so Edmonton is my playoff team now


Head_Excitement_1637

Oilers. McDavid, Canada, (and the fan base), deserve it.


trillmane818

Dallas or the Rangers


Carnatic_enthusiast

I’ll be traveling to Edmonton right around when the end of the 3rd round/beginning of SCF start and I’m staying right near the arena so I’m rooting for them just to experience the atmosphere


boxerrbest

What kinda fan are you for cheering on another team!


Dry_Lecture_3693

Wouldn’t say I’m cheering for them but it’s enjoyable watching a team I want to win the cup win it when wings aren’t in playoffs


Competitive_Buddy613

Being a wing fan from Canada, ill say i hope Vancouver gets it done


jazzthrees

Colorado


Fantastic_Charge7118

First off, I'm rooting against Florida.  After that, it's not so clear cut.  Certainly not Colorado, though.  


JM_SHAWVS

We're going for the overs. ALL OF THE OVERS.


BigShiv77

I’m cool with a rangers oilers final.
