Islanders.


Great to see a team come together when so many had written them off.

Probably Vegas for me. I have a soft spot for them after going to a game last year in the conference finals vs WPG.
Experience was amazing and I like the fast style of play with rolling lines they play. That's the style the Flames need to emulate IMO.

I'm out.

This hurts. I find it impossible to get invested in any other team.

I dont get this thinking, I want a team to win it whose media coverage I can stand.

If Boston wins the Toronto media will probably barely mention it, so thats always nice, but if a Canadian team wins it we're going to hear about it all day every day all year long.

Done. Will keep an eye on scores but primarily glad I have some free time to do other things. I hope the remaining Canadian teams lose though.

I actually find playoff hockey much more enjoyable once the flames are eliminated. For 10 days I wasn't able to find any joy watching because the flames were such garbage. It effects my mood to an extent that isn't healthy

Now the fun begins for me. Go Blues, Avs, Blue jackets and Islanders.

Not really cheering for a team, but I would not mind seeing Dougie Hamilton and the Canes make a run. Always thought he was a great guy when he was in Calgary.

No one.

The only thing that makes hockey fun is getting to watch the Flames.

Like many have said already, I really don't care. In a way, exiting the first round has given me back my spring.

I enjoy watching the Flames and other nhl stories in the regular season, but ,sadly, I care less about the playoffs once the reffing and rules seem to change. Let the nhl orchestrate or influence whatever final they want. Kudos to all the players and coaches putting it all on the line. I just get disgusted when some teams have to swim uphill against poor reffing where other teams seem to get every opportunity to have their ticket punched to the next round.

Cheer for whichever Flames make their way to the World Championships

Hoping Gio and Benzo get and take the call.

I wonder if anyone ends up going, I sure hope so.

Vegas...gifted a great team, top free agent destination, doesn't even have to give Seattle a player even though they are a top team.

Great fan base? Lol...any team would have "great fans" if all they knew was winning.

I hate everyone...maybe cheer for the team with the least fans to rub it in ..CBJ?

Anyone playing the Toronto Maple Leafs. If they get knocked out by the Bruins I don't really care what happens thereafter.

Definitely Columbus.
They have been pretty impressive, and the team is in a very interesting place right now. Are the players motivated knowing that this is probably the best chance they have to win, considering two of their core players seem to be determined to leave?

StL for me... would love to see that fanbase get a cup after supporting them for so long...

i think they are similar to the Flames; have had great teams, but always cracked in the playoffs... it would be nice to see them overcome that, just like seeing Washington finally beat their demons...

after that, CBJ and NYI... after that, i won't be watching much hockey outside of a game 7 or parts of the stanley cup

My old man has been a diehard Islanders fan since the 70s, so I've always had a soft spot for em. Go Isles!!! Also Columbus is a great story, so I'll be pulling for them as well.

I'm just not a "let's pull for the Canadian teams" type of guy..I can't do it. Leafs I could handle I guess, but I just can't get on board with the Jets. Kinda hope they get knocked out tonight, frankly.
