I'm the same. Often my favorite players are guys I just have a connection to for some other reason. My favorite Flames were guys like Jiri Hrdina and Ron Stern, and later Robyn Regehr not necessarily the best players or the flashy ones, but for whatever guys I just followed more intently and for longer.
On the current team I'm really rooting for Derek Ryan. I like his backstory and had him on my fantasy team for a while (no one cares I know but that's the kind of thing that creates that connection.).
Bottom line is that reasons why we pick our favorite teams and players is largely irrational.
