Stanley Cup Playoffs

Living in Edmonton, it's unavoidable. But yes, the Oilers are doing well and good coaching seems to be covering more than a few of our weaknesses.

How about you? Who you rooting for?

Sorry, I had to. Found this meme on the internet, cos of the Stanley thermos fad, which I stay away from. I care more for the small teams, not major cups or awards. I like the Madison Capitals of the USHL, an amateur league.

If my home team falls (as they have--the Hurricanes) then I will switch to rooting for a Canadian team--it's your game, after all.

Since the Penguins fell short this season, I'll root for the underdogs. Rangers took care of the Panthers, that was a good series. I'm hoping Florida will eliminate Boston. I like Auston Matthews and wanted the Leafs to beat the Bruins. My main desire is to actually watch playoff hockey, the NHL has alienated many fans by showing all the games on cable TV. That is a growing trend in sports. I haven't seen the past two or three college playoffs due to their broadcasts being restricted to cable TV. I think it's refreshing to see (read about lol) some teams from Canada having success in the playoffs this year. Oilers sadly fell down 3 games to 2 with a devastating loss in the last 30 seconds against the Canucks. That will be difficult to overcome, but definitely not impossible. I love playoff hockey. That's when watching hockey on TV is worthwhile. I must admit that puck is harder to follow though as I get older haha.

Wow, what a great series the Oilers have made this. Awesome turnaround, as they couldn't buy a goal in early games. I think this team is on a mission to bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada. Those fans really seem to appreciate the effort of the Oilers and so do I. It seems the Panthers are now the underdogs, even though game 7 will be in Florida. I can hardly wait to see this game.
