Oh HAIL no to the OP. Go Bs!
Thomas is god, he has his goalie T9 perma now it seems.
As for Vancouver, pulling for them means you pull for cannibals. Fact.

I personally don't care which team wins, as I just want to see a good intense game. However, there is good reason for my family to cheer for Boston, even though we are Canadian. About 60 years ago, my grandfather had the chance to play for Boston, but lost it due to injury, so he's always had a soft spot for the Bruins.

No.
It's bad enough my GM gave them the tools (Sedins, Kesler) to get where they are, I can't possibly cheer for the overrated Luongo (or should I call him 7uongo or 8uongo or 4uongo), the Sedin "Sisters" and the rest of that bunch.
LET'S GO BRUINS!

Chara and Kelly on that team spent a good amount of time here in Ottawa, more power to a bunch of fantastic former members of my community.

I'm torn as to who I want to see win the cup. Just because I'm Canadian doesn't mean I have to cheer for the Canadian team... I don't like Vancouver, but I don't have much more to cheer for in Toronto these days...
But if I had to choose which players I want to see raise the Cup it would have to be Tim Thomas. He had to work so hard to get into the NHL, then to become a cup champion would eb awesome!

The one disappointing thing I have to say about the series so far is that the officiating has been close to non-existent. If the refs don't get their heads out of their collective behinds and start calling all the penalties that they SHOULD be calling that someone will get hurt worse than Horton.

Out of all the teams that made it into the semifinals, the only one I don't want to win is the Bruins. Not because of any hatred for the team, but due to them having an extremely boring logo. San Jose Sharks, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Vancouver Canucks all have an exciting logo, but the Bruins have a logo that should have been replaced years ago.
The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

Cheering for the Canuckleheads.... so they are of course Dooomed! Heartbreak slobs the lot of em'. ;p Seems all my life they've been missing it by "this much" and more.... Are they 40 too?
Well I know I want the Canucks to win. If I were to every cheer for any Boston team, I will of had amnesia, or went insane. Also since B's took out the Habs this year I cannot touch that.

My thought process is that I don't want to endure the shame of having lost to some other loser team that gets beaten in the very next round. That would mean that not only were the Packers better than the Falcons, but so are the Bears, since they would have beaten the team that beat us. And if the Bears had played in and lost the Super Bowl, so are the Steelers, because they beat the team that beat the team that beat us. If you think about it, the provably suckiest team in the playoffs last year was the Patriots. They lost to a team (the Jets--a Wild Card team, no less) that lost to a team (the Steelers) that lost to a team (the Packers). Even the Colts can take comfort in the fact that their ouster at least won the Divisional game. As it is, though, the Packers ended up going all the way and won the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned, we were second best team in the league, because nobody proved otherwise. Could we have beaten the Bears like the Packers did? HELL YEAH! Could we have beaten the Steelers and won the Super Bowl? HELL YEAH! (And before you bring up week one, it was week one for crying out loud, and we lost in friggin' overtime. We were a LOT better team than the Steelers by the end.) So yeah, we had the unfortunate luck of being knocked out early by the number one championship team in the world, so sue us. It's like losing a tennis match to Roger Federer, it's a little different than losing to Steve the guy in accounting. At least you can say, "Well, it was Roger Federer..." And when the Falcons were knocked out by the Packers (who did admittedly trounce us in our own stadium ), I immediately became a cheesehead. |
I'm not enough of a hockey fan to really have a dog in this fight, but my wife's old high school's team was the Canucks*, so that's one reason for me to pull for Vancouver.

Mostly Pinnacle, with scattered alts on Liberty, Freedom, and Justice.
I had a great time playing with you!
Look at what the Providence, R.I. minor league hockey team just happens to be. . Providence Bruins.
So that can only mean that any Canucks fans are Praetorians! ! !
Because all of Rhode Island as well as Paragon City would rally around the black and gold.

Go Bruins!
My theory on rooting for teams that I have no sentimental interest in (Stars fan here), is to go with the team that has the smallest goalie. Tim Thomas is awesome. Go Bruins.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
