2010-11 NHL Playoff Thread: HOUSE RULES: ENGAGED

[Izzy]

I've decided that I want Vancouver to win.

Also, Boston must lose.

[Aksannyi]

Yes, even if I weren't pro-Bolts, there's plenty of reason to want Boston to lose. Their fans = dickholes. Almost as bad as Philly fans. Almost.

[Tweek]

He's not joking about the Giants fans around here... they are literally EVERYWHERE now.. you can't walk outside without someone wearing a Giants hat/jersey it's just annoying. I might not show up to every game but I support all Bay Area sports teams win or lose (we do plenty of losing in the past 2x decades) but I always put SF above Oakland if they're playing each other.. I also am not a fan of basketball but I don't support the Warriors because of how garbage they have been since as long as I can remember. That one year idunno 5 years ago? when they did OK and made it to the playoffs it was ridiculous all of a sudden all these Golden state jackets come out and people act like they've always been fans.

SF 49ers
SF Giants
SJ Sharks
Oakland A's
Oakland Raiders (although I hate most Raiders fans friends included they're so damn easy to hate but I'll always root for the Raiders unless they're playing the Niners)


Many people from the bay don't get how I can love both Niners/Raiders or Giants/A's but I got love for the whole bay they aren't even in the same leagues they aren't competition with each other unless they're playing each other.

Anyway.. I just know some people who happen to be the best in every single sport fan it's annoying as hell. Oh hey I live in Atlanta and I'm a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, Detroit Red Wings fan, New York Yankees fan and I like the Lakers etc WTF!!!! /rage


Is it any of my business why someone likes the team they like? nah not really, you can tell me to fuck myself that's cool but that doesn't mean it doesn't annoy the hell out of me when it sure doesn't seem to make sense and that team happens to own the most titles or has been the most winning team in the past decade type shit.

[Palin]

Its natural for everyone to pick a team they want to win when only 4 remain etc. You pick between the lesser of two evils or sometimes just pick an outcome that provides the most entertainment value (Game 7s etc). Doesn't make you less of a fan of your main team.

[bluefan]

0-10 = Jets fan.
10-20 = Band wagoner (usually cheered for teams with favorite players during this period of time)
20-25 = Habs fan.

And if the 'Peg ever gets a team back, I'll still be a Habs fan but I'll support the local team. As long as band wagoners pay up, I don't see a problem.

Of course you were, Ovie is the closest thing the NHL has to Donkey Kong on skates.

A little late, but Donkey Kong doesn't score goals, he just beats people up. John Scott would maybe be the closest if he got more ice time.

[Thoronas]

Eliminate bandwagons all together and just root for the team closest to the city you were born in. That makes it simple. Can't choose what family or what part of the world you are born into. DEAL WIT IT! Mom had you while visiting relatives in Phoenix/Cleveland/Cincinnati/Kansas City/Miami/Buffalo/Houston/Seattle? TOUGH TITTY!

Fuuuuuuuuck THAT. If it worked that way I'd have been a Senators fan. They're even more cursed then Nucks fans. Also I got no problem with bandwagoners but like people have said I hate when they become expectant of good things happen, that's not how shit works.

[Flarega]

Hibernate

alternatively for wings and sharks fans, spend a night sober

I was actually sober last night. The sharks don't deserve drunk disappointment.

[Ishido]

...more cursed then Nucks fans....

Not sure if that counts, I mean back then ice skates were made out of barber's razors tied to army boots and Toronto made the playoffs regularly

[vagus]

Went into the SassgeCam chat and read Isladar loves pugs. My buddies pug with 'Nucks swag.

Yeah if we're counting that then Vancouver has a Stanley Cup.

As for Ottawa I think I should mention Alexandre Daigle and leave it at that.

I have a friend who has a UGA hat and jersey for his pug for gamedays.

Well at least he's keeping it real and wearing a bandana like a true thug pug, and not a full sweater like I've seen some dogs in lol. Should try to get a pic from your buddy with the bandana worn Tupac style if the dog will cooperate LOL.

Ugh, Daigle. Just behind Patrik Stefan on the 1st overall pick fail-o-meter.

Of course the Caps have their own Alexandre failure history, lol.
