So if they don't make it, do you follow the playoffs, how do you kill time

I’m 50 and have 5 and 10 year olds. I’m having a nap or ten.

Really excited for an actual playoff run in Winnipeg again. Such an exiting team and passionate, loud fan base. It's going to be crazy.

[Corral]

1st round is some of the best TV viewing there is. This year i'll cheer for Winnipeg. Join a hockey pool to keep the interest going in all the games.

[TorqueDog]

Despite going to more games this year than I have in any other year I've lived in Calgary, I gotta be honest: I've been a bit of a crap fan this year in terms of actually paying attention. The arena/ownership thing left a sour taste, and even though we attended games, that was mainly because I got a good deal on great seats. And there was some Jagr excitement in there too.

Am I going to pay attention to the playoffs if the Flames flub this final stretch and miss? Eh, I'll pay some attention. I'll cheer for Vegas and Winnipeg. When the finals come around -- except if it's one of those two teams -- it'll be a veritable coin flip as to which team I back.

If the Flames -- against the odds -- make it into the post-season, I'll pay a bit more attention than I have during the regular season.

What will I fill my time with otherwise? Well if the weather can make up its bloody mind: a mix of video games, golf, and some outdoor cardio.

[FireGilbert]

I love playoff hockey but I won't be changing my schedule and sneaking out of work to watch like I would if the Flames were in it. I will probably just watch a few hours every Sunday afternoon.

I will be cheering for the Jets, Preds, and Caps and cheering against the Leafs and Ducks.

[greentree]

Go Jets Go
That is all.

[dino7c]

I can't believe how many are cheering for Vegas...I hope they get swept...Jets too only because we would never hear the end of it if they actually won something.

All the Vegas bandwagoners at the dome a couple months back killed any good will I had for them. I don't think it's a great story anyway. They got much better expansion rules and we're the only team picking. Best exapansion team Eva? Big whoop

It’s funny how everyone assumes Vegas fans are bandwagoners only because they were winning (not so hot right now). There weren’t much Vegas fans out at the dome compared to any other opponent, maybe similar numbers to Sabres. I actually talked to a couple of them, like myself, almost all of them have some sort of connection to the city and were cheering them on at the start with zero expectations. In fact, that was one of the big things with Vegas fans, that they can say they’ve been there right from the very start.

Nashville has been my second team since they came into the league so I will cheer for them. I'm also interested in if Las Vegas is the real deal in the playoffs. I might even tune into some Leaf games they are actually pretty fun to watch to.

[cznTiburon]

Philly has always been my 1 or 2 team flip flopping with the flames so I will be cheering for them. Would love to see New Jersey do well simply to see Hall continue to stick it to the Oilers. And cheer for anyone playing the ducks. F*** those guys

[Tron_fdc]

I tell you what, after seeing a Vegas home game I'm a fan. They have done an amazing job building and promoting that team. Fans were awesome, atmosphere was awesome, everything about my experience down there was really top notch yesterday. I'm thinking I might go back during playoffs to see how far it gets ramped back up. The league really hit it out of the park down there.

If I was 25 again and there was a Nashville-Vegas series it would be an experience of a lifetime going back and forth between those cities.

I'm the same they actually have been good to watch but the medias orgasm if they go far will be insufferable so I hope they get swept for the schadenfreude

[edslunch]

I usually don’t watch much hockey once the Flames are out. This year the draft isn’t worth waiting for, the prospects game less than last year, UFA deadline is generally meh.... so I’m hoping I can check out of CP until the fall and free up some personal time.

[Aeneas]

Love the first round of playoffs.
No Flames, I will hope for Wash v Nash final.
If not, Jets or Vegas in the west, flyers or bruins in east.

[puffnstuff]

I'll be cheering against every single team. I hate them all.

[Otto29]

Ill follow the Jets casually but i pretty much am done with hockey until September

Come on now...if they were in last place there wouldn't have been 3000 Vegas jersey's at the dome. Buffalo has been in the league for nearly 50 years, they should have a fan or two.

[Magnum PEI]

Playoffs is always the best time of year, even when the flames don't make it. Ill be pulling hard for any team playing Nashville.

[goodyear]

I don't think I'll make time to watch a full game if they Flames aren't in the playoffs.

Would probably watch a lot of the Raptors games though and the World Cup.

And the Pintys summer slam event from Greenland.
