Poll: Hockey?

[mikeybuthge]

First of all, huge Vancouver fan, second, Boston is the dirtiest team filled with huge goons and mooks, with an outstanding goalie. Yes I'm still bitter

 

[St.Augustine6]

Philadelphia Flyers. Unfortunately, since I live in the south currently, I don't get a lot of chances to watch them.

 

[Gomithrus]

I like Field Hockey. Playing is awesome and I even enjoy watching it. It's the only sport I would sit down and watch. Ice Hockey no. To me thats just not hockey.

I also play field hockey but also enjoy watching ice hockey. Living in Vancouver allows for both very nicely. However, i dont really have a favorite team, so long as they are not the calgary flames.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

I am a brit... Hocky is played on grass and astroturf and played mostly by bloodthirsty girls... Seriously all those 'Give Blood, Play Hockey' hoodies scare me!

Also, I don't think they have teams in UK hockey. They have small tribes who's only goal is to murder and drink the blood of other tribes, and then murder and drink the blood of the people around them...

(For context... one of my exes was a (feild) hockey player, and she was aslo a fucking psycho...!! Good fun usualy though!)

 

[Andy Shandy]

Yeah. My and a friend are reasonably big fans of hockey. Unfortunately being in Scotland, the teams are shit in comparison to, well, probably everywhere. We have another friend that plays what we call "skirt hockey" (field hockey). If I had to pick an NHL team to support it would be the New Jersey Devils. Big fan of Brodeur.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Aww ya. I don't watch hockey much. But I always watch the Stanley Cup game and support the Leafs. Lets go Toronto!

 

[Whoatemysupper]

I was a huge Atlanta Thrashers fan while the team was here in Georgia. I'm just generally a hockey fan these days, even if I do absolutely loathe Pittsburgh and Winnipeg.

Well. The fanbase in Winnipeg, anyway.

That's interesting, you see, I really started getting in to hockey more when an NHL team moved here this year. I say more because I played when I was younger. Also we fill up the seats.

 

[emeraldrafael]

we're few and far between on this site, or at least in an effort to vocalize ourselves.

Anyway, to answer your question, I am. My top three teams to root for are (in order):

The Penguins
The Predators
The Ducks (cannot support them after the organization decided to hire barbeque stains Bruce to coach and destroy that team like he did the caps) Stars

Ive been there for the pens since '96, but been watching since I was 3 in '95.

I also play, primarily a center position though i tell people Im a left wing (despite shooting right handed. I know, my backhand is rather good, thats ne of the reasons I decided to start ont he left).

<- Isles fan

wow... I am so sorry for what Dipeitro is doing to your team.

 

[Hazy992]

Only watched one hockey match. It seemed alright I guess. I want to move to Toronto after uni so I guess I support the Maple Leafs

 

[Dellaudis]

I got more into hockey recently

I was never really a sports guy but my brother (Rangers fan) really started getting into it and it just kind of pulled me along. I didn't really want to be a fan of the same team as my brother because, well thats just how being a brother goes, but I didn't really want a team in the East that would be in direct playoff competition with New York (my state). (and I can't take the disappointment that comes with being an Islanders fan like my father)

I ended up with the Coyotes, I'm not really sure how, it just kind of happened.

 

[Spaghetti]

I'm a UK based Philadelphia Flyers fan, so going to games is a little tricky

 

[Skizle]

I do so enjoy hockey. Sadly, since I don't have cable anymore I don't watch it much anymore. Being from Texas, I am a fan of the Dallas Stars. Crap, I need to check out their new stadium. Hmmm....perhaps it's time to round up the friends for a hockey roadtrip.

I know the feeling, I recently moved out and cant afford cable at the moment. But I always have been a wings fan and with the ESPN score center app I can at least look up the scores and any news that comes up.

 

[FalloutJack]

Other: As much as I need to be, but not avidly into it.

 

[Jodan]

winnipegger here and yes i am a hockey fan
and im sooo glad we have team here now
the moose were good but they werent the jets

oh and
go jets!

 

[The87Italians]

Being from Pittsburgh, it's pretty much illegal not to be a Pens fan. However, I am completely okay with this, especially because I love listening to Mike Lange announce the games. That man is a legend.

 

[octafish]

I played Hockey as a kid, and because my mother had to buy me boots to play Hockey, (It's all fake turf and studless shoes now) I also started to play Soccer, because rulewise it is Hockey without sticks. I much prefered Soccer and stuck with that. Hockey is one of my least favorite sports to photograph, the ball is too small and the action is too quick (I still prefer it to the absolute tedium that is cricket though).

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

I'm Canadian, and my local team is the Montreal Canadians.

And yet, I don't care all that much about hockey, unless it's playoff season, at which point I get enormously interested. Which I am really doubting we'll be in this year. -_-

 

[Mr.PlanetEater]

I'm a massive Hockey fan, ever since I was a wee lad I grew up watching the Philadelphia Flyers. That said I'm a massive Vancouver fan with a soft spot for the Flyers. (Nostalgia is a ***** am I right?)
