What are the best and worst games for you?

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Random, but it’s Monday night, let’s say all 32 teams are free- which matchup would you most wanna see? (excluding your team). And which two dance partners would you not wanna watch at all?

For me:

Best:

Edmonton vs. Colorado. Boring, easy answer, but the best players are the best watch. Shocking stuff. HM to Dallas though, I feel like I should watch ‘em to see how stacked they really are.

Worst:

Pens vs.. Isles? Sure, Isles. I don’t watch Utah so would actually be curious about ‘em, and I’d pick Chicago except Crosby vs. Bedard is kinda cool.

Thoughts? And does it change at all if it’s a 7 game series?

Worst:
- Most games with Minnesota involved but that's just my historical bias, sorry not sorry;
- High-scoring blowouts, especially if I'm a neutral fan of both teams.

Best:
- Scrappy close games especially if they're on the playoff bubble/in the playoffs, kind of doesn't matter who;
- Games where the team I like (even neutrally) wins;
- Games where the team I dislike (even neutrally) loses;
- Games where Ovechkin scores;
- International best-on-best (not what OP asked for but I can't help it.)

Tied between ECF Game 7 Lightning loss to the Bruins in 2011, and ECF Game 7 Lightning loss to the Capitals in 2018.

Stray: I hate the Penguins.

Best is obvious.

Worst:

1-3 pm puck drops on weekends .. always running around and miss those

Folks, I’m lookin for teams- what other teams do you like watching? Which are of no interest to you?

Best: Jets vs Rangers would be fun to watch with Hellebuyck and Shesterkin both at the top of their game
Worst: Columbus vs Utah would put me to sleep faster than a NyQuil laced edible

Best for me is like Boston vs Montreal, something like that. Teams that are original 6 and have relevance to my team (Leafs)
Worst is Nashville vs Carolina or something.

On 03/23/1994 at Hamiltons Copps Coliseum, the Florida Panthers and Toronto Maple Leafs played to a 1-1 tie in quite possibly the most boring game in NHL history.

As a noted Leaf hater, I found myself actually cheering for the Leafs, because they actually made an attempt to entertain the crowd, in one of the worst examples of trap hockey era I had seen.

Folks, I’m lookin for teams- what other teams do you like watching? Which are of no interest to you?

In general I’ve always preferred watching the western conference. Being an Arizona/Utah fan means that my opinions (usually in the form of animosity) of the other teams in the west are stronger. Now that I live out in Florida and also follow Tampa Bay, I’ve also formed stronger opinions (also in the form of animosity) towards the rest of the Atlantic division.

As a result, what’s left over is that the teams in the Metropolitan division just don’t interest me that much.

 

[BonMorrison]

Metro division games are ass to me and this is magnified in the playoffs. All those years of Caps/Rangers did a number on me, man. I don't care for any of the rivalries or the teams generally. There are players I love on all of them but it's not enough to make me care. The Capitals and Blue Jackets are the only ones that get a pass for me.

On a Monday night, I’m choosing whatever Amazon game is on.
