Go Jets. Don’t care one way or the other about the Laffs or Nucks. Oil, Knights, Lightning and Ovie have to lose.

Anyone but Edmonton, Vancouver, Toronto or Winnipeg.
Would be awesome to see Tanev or Tkachuk win. Would be good for the game.

That's probably my choice as well. Maybe LA next. Just because

Season is too long in my opinion. It's April 22, the 4th week of April and playoffs just started with LA/EDM starting today. It seems like we should have started playoffs 30 days ago when it's still a more winter type feeling.
The cup finals won't finish until mid-late June. I am a big believer in having a more exciting, passionate and meaningful regular season with.......less games.
Start Mid October until the end of March and play 75 games. It allows for more heated regular season games and a less grueling season for the players. There is way too much passing and blah games these days.
Playoffs are great but sometimes it's hard to dedicate watching a game when the weather, the patio and a lot of other things are calling.

Umm, we need like 2 - 3 more top end stars before we need bottom end toughness. I mean we need both, but the latter is irrelevant without the former.

I really don’t like that my dislike for teams is driving my viewing habits.
Vegas v Dallas was a good game, the end of the Toronto game was good, end of Carolina game was good, and I had oilies game on but was watching stars game.
I just want to watch the flames!
Edit: I hope no one wins the cup. Only flames. Especially not oilers, canucks, leafs, jets, Ottawa, habs, Vegas. (I know habs and sens aren’t in the playoffs so good, I don’t have to cheer against them for now)

Definitely not keen on seeing Vegas win, particularly following Stone's miraculously timed recovery, continuing their annual abuse of LTIR.

Whatever gets us the best draft positions possible is who I will cheer for. A few ex-players on some teams I will cheer for; Tkachuk, Tanev, Monahan.

If I had to pick a Canadian team it would be Vancouver. I used to despise them more than my hatred for Dumpsville but I've softened in the years since they stopped employing garbage, dirty, diving players.
I wouldn't even be too upset if Toronto won except the media felating would be way too much.
I won't peacefully enjoy watching until Edmonton and Winnipeg are out.

Don't want any other Canadian team's having success, but I am cheering for Monahan. He's still my fave player.
Throw Edmonton into the sun already

If it guarantees Edmonton doesn’t win the cup, I’m ok with anyone else. Toronto being the least ideal but still better than the Coilers

I'm a Flames fan only. Every other team can eff themselves!
I'm cheering for draft picks and draft position.

I kinda tune out and don't watch many games or cheer for anyone in particular if the Flames are out...just check scores.
Most teams I don't really care about at all if they win, but I wish absolutely ZERO success in the playoffs for the following teams:
Oilers - my hatred for these complete scumbags, and their stained sweatpants wearing fans, knows no bounds; this year they're as annoying as ever with Kane, Perry, Pissy and Nurse leading the way, along with the media circle jerk led by Ron
Canucks - will always be my second most hated team due to the history of our rivalry, but they don't currently have too many hate-able guys compared to the old days with Kesler, etc.
Leafs - still hate 'em, mostly due to the never-ending media coverage/bias; I'm never actually worried that they will win the cup though, and this year is no different

Would like to see the Jets do well.
Been watching a lot more generally than previous years - the hockey is unreal. There’s nothing better in sports than round 1 of NHL playoffs for sheer and consistent entertainment value imo

Anybody but Edmonton. Or Toronto. Or Vancouver. Or Winnipeg. Or Tampa Bay. Or Florida. I'm totally fine with the remaining 62.5% of this year's contenders.

I can find the silver lining in any team that wins it, except for the Oilers and Leafs. Both of those are Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, and rivers and seas boiling type events.

Not really cheering for anyone. I do appreciate a good game though. Some of the Florida/Tampa games have been incredible. I've enjoyed seeing the Kings give it all and hang in there against the Oilers and their crappy score on the PP strategy.
In terms of things I don't want to happen, I do not want to see Edmonton win. Don't really like the idea of seeing M. Tkachuk holding up a cup either. I don't really hate Toronto, but would find it kind of funny if they lost to the Bruins. Vancouver fans have thus far been pretty humble and civil. If that changes, the hate is back on. Vegas cheated, so don't really want them to win.
Those are my biases against teams winning. Not really cheering for any specific team to win.
