1) Absolutely. Every year I watch the large majority of Playoff games. Same will go for this year. Plus being in lots of pools with friends adds to the excitement.

2) 110%. I have yet to ever miss a Flames game. I've missed a couple of them live because of school, travel, etc.. but I always watch them in their entirety, whether I've recorded them or through my NHL Live account. On top of that, I'm always glued to Twitter, The Athletic, FlamesNation, etc.. for any news, reports, rumors, etc..

3) Die-hard. It's honestly a pretty unhealthy obsession, especially knowing there are more important things in life. Going on 15+ jerseys, have a man-cave for a room and partial season ticket holder. However, I'm careful to not let it completely take my time away from my work, hanging with friends and family, etc.. I simply just use my free time to catch up and schedule certain things around Flames games, the trade deadline, draft, and free agency. On that note, I am still relatively young at 22 so as the years pass, maybe that changes (hope not).

4) Nothing. Could never envision myself cheering for another team even just a tiiiiny bit.

5) A, although I'd definitely change a couple rules to make the game more exciting. Just a couple examples: I find the fact that teams on the PK can ice the puck. Why should they get that benefit after committing a penalty? I am also not against the idea of a full-length PP no matter if the PP team scores. Also, the NHL is absolutely dreadful at promoting their stars compared to the other major sports.
