Not sure I can find a link cuz I think you need to be subscribed to see it online, but there was an article in today's Herald (in the Real Life section, not sure wtf it was doing there of all places) decrying the idea of people getting into the playoff spirit AT ALL. Of course of the sad saps they did interview for the piece - which basically says it's unfair to those who aren't avid fans that people should want to have a good time during the playoffs - only one fessed up to his true allegiances: an Oilers fan.
Personally, I don't care if you're on the playoff bandwagon and nonpartisan the rest of the time - this is my favorite time of year and I'll talk hockey with anyone who wants to. I like the fact that people get into it - it may seem pathetic to some but it's things like this that bring people together as a community. Embrace it.
