I'd like a hockey team to follow

We'll see if their defense and goaltending hold up in a seven game series...
Let's not forget, that cushy record is courtesy of playing in the worst division in hockey....

One thing that has changed a lot is playing in the crease, and in the corners. Mike Knuble is PERFECT cuntpared to the soft Viktor Kozlov we used to have, and Eric Belanger and Scott Walker, and especially Jason Chimera have added even more teeth to the team.
Plus, Nicklas Bäckstrom has been AMAZING....

Everything changes in a seven game series. I honestly don't think the Caps measure up to at least 3 or 4 teams in the West in a 7 game seriessigpicRoth Army CanadaComment

need a bit of help here, I'm a fan of Cleveland sports team fan, but have always had a bit of an interest in hockey and it's sort of grown during the olympics. I'd really like to have a team to adopt and to follow. And before eveyone says "Adopt the Blue Jackets", something just doesn't feel right, I don't feel in anyway connected to them as I would say, TOSU. Pretty much, I'd like a team to follow just until C-town finally gets it's first hockey franchise since the 1970's (perhaps if the Cavs get good enough, they'll get a new arena or something in a few years and maybe this new team would play there?)
So, out of them all, I've figured out a few teams I'd probably rule out:
The Pens
No offense to VA., In fact if this team was like..in say..Erie or some place NOT Pittsburgh, I'd be a fan in heartbeat, the jersey's are awesome, they have some decent history, and Sid the kid seems pretty awesome, but something in my blood tells me I can't root for a Pittsburgh sports team.
Any team from NYC
Don't generally really like cheering on big market team.
Any team from Florida or Arizona
How the hell do they even have a hockey franchise?
Teams I'm considering
Boston Bruins
love the "B" and the colors, even though I hate the cities other teams
Buffalo Sabres
Hey if the locals there get to pull for the Tribe, I think I should have the right to pull for their NHL team, plus, I'm sort of naturally attracted to disapointment and failure.
Toronto Maple Leafs
Fairly close to me, and always liked their look overall.
Philadelphia Flyers
The broadstreet bullies just seem so bad ass, plus the jersey seem cool as well.
1st off Unchainme I'd say the Jackets:
1-you're close enough to go see 'em on occasion
2-they're an "up and coming team"...which means they're not selling out home games...which means you can get tickets...
3-You won't be a BANDWAGON jumper...when they do make it good...and they will...you'll have the pleasure of knowing your a REAL sports fan...somebody who bled during the lean years...and the good times will be even better for it...trust me...I vividly...and fondly...remember the DEAD WINGS era...
and if you just can't get into the Jackets....I'd say the CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS...still close to you...a YOUNG team on the rise...and yup...they have the KEWLEST FARKING jerseys....EVERComment

New jersey devils! :]Reading Crazy From the Heat in four hours flat, in a cramped RV, on the return trip of a 3,000+ mile family outing to New Jersey is an enlightening experience you'll never forget.Comment

I'm from Boston and Bobby Orr is awesome, but this town really needs to let that shit fade into history. I can understand that folks here continue to masturbate to the above pic, as this is a hockey town and we've also haven't had a team that was worthy enough to win the cup since the early 70's...fuck, even Ray Bourque had to go to another town to get his name on Lord Stanley after breaking his nuts for two decades in the gaahden.
That being said, I found out during this morning's news that the Blackhawks are going to the dance, and I say good for them! I think their last cup was the 60-61 season, so they're certainly overdue, plus, my attitude is, if the B's can't get it done, I always root for any of the other Original Six.Comment
