I have less interest every year. Watch a few games in the first round and then a few in the finals.Playoff hockey must be nice

Boston is going to take this series to 7, me thinks.
Nurse's contract is why the Oil won't have any depth when Bouchard needs a new deal.Kane and Nurse have to be two of the dumbest players in the league.
Aren't we all pseudo fans of other teams at this point?
I'm all in on the Oilers this year.
I like the Oilers and also the Stars for whatever reasons I can’t figure out. I’ll give well earned credit to the Canucks though. They’ve done well this year and have turned their fortunes around.Aren't we all pseudo fans of other teams at this point?

Never, we are the Tifosi here. Our loyalty is unquestioned.Aren't we all pseudo fans of other teams at this point?

I like Frost and Canyons personally, but knowing how most hockey fans are, they'll all vote for Yeti.

UTAH Mormons.
you recognize the possible danger.. a slight shift in pronunciationUTAH Mormons.
Well, I always need a team to get behind to have interest. I'm not an impartial observer of sports and I don't watch if I'm not at least sort of rooting for one of the teams, so while I would agree about the level of hockey in the first couple rounds being good hockey, I'm not one that watches sports just to watch sort of thing.Hell, the first and second round of the playoffs is the best time of the year. Pretty much always good for 2 or more games on every single night. What more can a person ask for (besides our Sens being involved)?
Being on the West Coast with lots of friends that are Canucks, Oilers & Flames fans, I sort of cheer for all 3. Winnipeg too to a lesser extent. Canucks have played admirably, Silovs in particular is proving to be the difference. I'm all Edmonton this year and watched most of their games, simply because I think it's the best chance Canada has had at a cup in a very long time and really hope that someone wins it before Montreal or Toronto end up doing it. That all said, Dallas has to be the very heavy favorite at this point. Best team all year with a goalie that sucked that's now turned it on. Crazy depth on that team.I like the Oilers and also the Stars for whatever reasons I can’t figure out. I’ll give well earned credit to the Canucks though.

Yeti is fine, but a bit cartoonish. It's almost like Raptors. Even Kraken is kind of silly if you think about it, but it works.
The big thing with sports names, is that they should be unique. Choose an animal or object that another major sporting team hasn't used that has good imagery and ties to the area.
I still think they should go with Road Kill, but maybe that doesn't go over too well!
No eh. I get it, I used to be a lot more Sens only, but they've been not just bad, but very bad, for a very long time now. I love hockey too much to just turn away for this long, especially when the Sens were being run by a bunch of blowhards I had zero confidence it.I can't get into it at this point.
I wish I approved of gambling. It probably makes playoff hockey really fun to know that if McDavid doesn't pull through, your wife is going to divorce you when she finds out what you lost on the game.
you have 32 NHL teams, 32 NFL, 30 NBA, 30 MLB, 30 MLS, 12 (soon to be 16 ) WNBA, 12 NWSL. 10 or 12 Pro Lacrosse, 9 CFL, 9 CPL, X amount G league team, 9 CEBL. 300-500 minor league teams (all sports). Now add almost 500 universities.Kraken is more than a bit silly lol. That's what I'm talking about. Kidified society.
There's some built in potential for brand synergy if they partner up with the cooler company, get your official Utah Yeti branded Yeti beer cooler and Utah Yeti branded Yeti coffee travel mug!Yeti is fine, but a bit cartoonish.

What I get from that is that all those experts aren't very good at predicting who will be good at the NHL level past the very top guys lol.
People really thought Chabot was better than Heiskanen on here…
Brassard for Zibanejad was a good trade for Ottawa if you understand the reality of the team at the time. It's only not a good trade if you live in the fantasy world where Zibanejad wouldn't have just been traded for a late 1st and a few small plusses as a pending UFA.
Ya, I wouldn’t mind the Oilers winning the Cup, or another Canadian team like the Canucks. It’s been awhile since a Canadian team has won, so it would be nice to see for a change. I respect the Stars a lot though. I think their model is one to emulated. You have an advantage of being in the west when it comes to watching Western Conference teams.Well, I always need a team to get behind to have interest.

Anything but Toronto or Montreal. I'd hate for them to be the ones to claim they "brought the cup home to Canada". Hell, I was cheering against Montreal the last time it was won by them in 93 lol.Ya, I wouldn’t mind the Oilers winning the Cup, or another Canadian team like the Canucks.

Definitely an advantage. That and having people around me that care about Edmonton, Vancouver and Calgary sort of brings up the excitement. If the Nucks move on, I'll cheer for them instead. If/when they're both done, I'll probably tune out entirely.
I appreciate great players too, and McDavid and Draisaitl are both special players that deserve one imo. Also like to see the wealth shared, so nice to see the Knights lose and hopefully the Avs too.
Ya F those guys.Ya, definitely don’t want Toronto or Montreal winning.
I try to catch as much as I can of the late games, but tend to only watch late into the 2nd period before lights out. LOL. I definitely didn’t shed any tears when VGK were eliminated.
