Fans of teams eliminated from playoffs, who are you cheering for?

I never pick a specific team I want to win it all as soon as any playoffs start without my team in it (which has been all of them for the last 12 years except for 2020 when the Coyotes got in as the 11 seed and upset the Predators in the qualifier series). I just look at each individual series as they go and pick who I'd rather see win (or in some cases, who I'd rather see get eliminated). Since getting married I always pick the Tampa Bay Lightning first except for against my own team, which has never happened anyway.

So far, only one playoff matchup has been determined, so I've chosen Carolina over New Jersey.
 
GO LEAFS GO!

Calgary probably isn’t going to make it, so I’m going with the Sens here. Always been my #2 team.
Going to be hilarious if Flames do end up making it while you being on the record for rooting for Sens

The Leafs are so reviled that it has to be kind of cool/edgy cheering for them if you're not a fan, no?

Like cheering for the ultra dick heel in pro wrestling when most are rooting for Hogan or Cena.

If you like drama, you should cheer for them. This site will crash constantly if they get far.

Leafs have always been my go to team to cheer for when the Rangers aren't it, going back to the early 2000s. They get too much hate.

That works for this year. But for next year it's better when Rangers, Islanders and Devils all make the playoffs and you know that.

At least we got the Ontario teams in it this year, should be fun
 
Easy pick. If my team ain’t winning then I pull for the teams with the fewest fans, to celebrate, to win. So Florida clubs. Carolina. Vegas. Dallas. LA. Colorado. Minny. Kind of that order too.
