how are any of us supposed to watch this series, let alone root for a winner?"

funny you mention that. I posted this on a friend’s facebook status asking about who to root for earlier:
“yeah, i dont even know who to root for anymore now that the caps are out. if the hawks and wings play in the conference finals, im rooting for a meteor to hit the joe while they’re playing.”

original six-ending meteors FTW.

most def. i can’t root for either team. i just cant. i hate the wings, i hated the hawks first.

im hoping the series goes seven, the pens or canes go four and whip up on whichever team makes it out of the west. that’s all i can hope for.

ugh. these playoffs have been awesome and have sucked.

the series to go 7 games, with 5 going to overtime – 3 of them beyond double overtime, so that whomever wins the East steamrolls them in the finals because they can’t even stand up any more.

The only two Original Six teams are teams I despise.

The other two teams left are teams I have good reason not to fully like at all (One is led by a douche, the other is in a market that never really clamored for hockey).

Can the Stanley Cup be awarded to an AHL team? Or maybe the Frozen Four winner? An independent league team? SOMEONE ELSE?! PLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSE?!?!?!?!?!

We’re not so bad.

At least rooting for Chicago is second behind getting raped by Satan.. I can’t believe any of you actually picked Detroit though.. for shame

lesser of two evils

I’ve followed hockey for some time now and even though I’m from IL You Just can not justify " rooting " for either team in the Western Conf. Finals if you Bleed Blue. The names from the past from their teams every Blues fan despise, : Tony Espisito, Al Secord, Denis Savard, even for a little while my favorite NHL player of all time Booby Orr…Bannerman, Vernon, Probert & Hasek ( who played for both ) Lindstom, Doug Wilson , Yzerman … Just to name a few…

I’ll follow the Eastern Conf. finals. Go Penguins.

And when the Western Conf. Finals starts sunday, I’ll start Pulling my Teeth out…

I’m going for Carolina. I always nothing Cam Ward, which is better than the hate I feel for most of the other teams, so I’ll go with that. And at Wildcat, we will always hate Detroit and Chicago. Its part of being a true Blues fan. We could go undefeated for a season and still hate them. Doesn’t matter.

I actually could support you winning the Cup. You’re the only team from that area whom I actually like.

Now? We’ve got self-proclaimed “Redneck Hockey”, the marketing force that is Sidney Crosby, the world’s largest bandwagon and Detroit. While my good friend from Kalamazoo is trying to get me to support the Wings (he’s playing on the fact that I lived in Detroit for a couple years when I was a nipper, while my father worked there as a consultant to Ford), I don’t think it’s going to happen.

i was sure you guys would be rooting for chicago, since you’re always saying “FUCK DETROIT!”.
i’d rather see chicago from the west, but losing to carolina for the Cup. if carolina wins, Rod Brindamour will bring the Cup to my town.
GO CANES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blackhawks vs Wings, who to root for? I’ll take raped by the devil please. I’d rather eat a wasp nest then root for either one.

My hate for the Blackhawks is stronger for some reason, although I can remember booing the dirty Gordie Howe and his flying elbows along with Ted Lindsey and his nastiness. I think it was Keith Magnuson that cemented me being a lifelong Chicago hater.

The Cardiac Canes have a grip on me now, who doesn’t love a hurricane siren with a monkey going apeshit to start the game? The Dancin’ Grandma rockin it out?

FUCK THE BLACKHAWKS and FUCK DETROIT

Since I get news assholes torn for me everyday, I’m pretty sure getting raped by Satan wouldn’t be that bad.

He’d be a fire crotch wouldn’t he?

I’m rooting for Chicago, but then again, I’m a Cubs, Bulls, and Bears fan who sticks with STL for my hockey, so I probably am not the best case of a fan without bias. I’ve never been able to stand Detroit though, and the thought of them winning 2 in a row makes me throw up in my mouth a bit.

I’ll always hate Detoilet more than anything, so I’m going with Chicago, not that I’ll watch any of the games. rooting for either Eastern team to win the cup though, obviously

You would really root for Anaheim versus Detroit? Anaheim is the dark side of hockey. It took teams like the Canadiens, Oilers, and Red Wings to restore skill to the sport and save it from becoming Ultimate Fighting on Ice. But you would pull for the dirtiest player in hockey and the Young Goon Squad? As you know, I grew up in Detroit, so I am a Wing fan. But even if I hadn’t, I would still at least respect the Red Wing franchise for their style of play.

conflicting arguments here…

Google is now picking up Twitter feeds in their search indexing. Let’s not forget to tag FUCK DETROIT and FUCK THE BLACKHAWKS on all Twitter feeds.

The world must know.

haven’t posted here in a while since most of you guys where cheering on the damn ducks … but now that the Wings (YAY!!!) eliminated them … figured I could drop by and say hi :) … and … go hawks! :)

which in my book is Chicago. The only way I’m getting through it is saying that I’m rootinf for Coach Q.
