Unlike Peyton Manning, who he respects greatly but loves to cheer against, he hates the Sedins and Vancouver. I think I'll make him an honorary Flames fan.

Yeah, his daughter's a huge Kings fan, so he goes to lots of games with her which helps.
And RE: Vancouver hate, it's funny, because I remember listening to a pod between him & Wysh leading into the 2011 Cup Final, and he was talking about wishing it was someone other than Vancouver, because he felt rather indifferent towards them and wanted a team in there that he could hate on. He had no idea the Dbag Canuck team he was about to be subjected to.
And for those Twitterites on here who don't know Wysh, he's a solid follow. Not just for hockey, he's got a solid grasp on nerd culture too. He's an American who really understands the Canadian hockey fan.
EDIT: Dang! Pod blocked at work for me
