This was inspired by Silver's comments, in how he felt that the forum was "Leaf-dominated." This is an attempt to see what percentage of the board considers each team "theirs." This is in no way a competition, so no pulling your buddies from outside the board to run up the tally for your team. This is meant to be for the regular posters that frequent this board, only.

And yes - you can only pick one team. I set this up so that there were 2 poll questions, since you can only have 20 choices per poll. If your team isn't in the first 19 picks, it'll be in the last 11. Make sure you tally in both polls, so that the numbers match up. If you picked a team in one of the brackets, there will be a choice in the other bracket labeled "Not Listed Here."

devils here.

The only thing about this is I really DON'T cheer for just one team. In fact, my allegiances swing around, because I root for guys I'm friends with to do well, and by extension, their teams to do well. Therefore, I couldn't honestly say I back one team....

FYP

PS Canucks...duh!

Florida Panthers wooo

"because someday everybody wins one"

LOL LOL LOL..... nice!!

Fair enough, Gruven. You and DN were the 2 that had me curious on how you'd vote. I kinda figured you'd be hard-pressed to say, although I guessed you'd probably vote for the Leafs and then never tell anyone you did so.
I'm assuming Daniel will pick the Leafs, although he might not see this pool for a week or so since he's been busy with the house and cutting down his internet(s) time.

How is it we have 3 Canuck votes already? I thought there was Fleung and maybe one other...didn't realize there were at least 3.

I'm one of the 3.

I thought you were a Senators fan, for some reason.

Canucks fan first, Senators second. I'm from Ottawa so I am a fan but my loyalty will always be with the Canucks if the two team are playing each other. You probably thought I was a sens fan first because I've felt the need to defend them against serge and his constant berrating of them.

Sabres fan, obviously.

In case anyone wants to use the word "bandwagon" with me, I used to watch Donald Audette play for the Amerks as a rookie, and I clearly remember the day Rob Ray got called up to the big club, because he never came back. I've been a fan of the Sabres organization (both the big club and the Amerks) since I was 8 years old, so about 22 years now.

I also like following the Chicago Blackhawks and I *am* a bandwagon Pittsburgh fan, just because they're so much fun to watch.

I'm a Canucks fan.

I was born in Toronto and both my parents are Leafs fans so naturally I'm a Habs fan.

lol nice.

How does one move from Toronto to Sudbury?

Just curious.

I voted for Pens, obv.

Quick answer:

- parents are Newfies who moved to Toronto as 18 year olds to find work
- I was born in Toronto
- we moved back to Newfoundland when I was 13
- I was back and forth between NL and Toronto/Mississauga between semesters
- found a job in Sudbury
- wife, sex 3 times, 3 kids, bought a house, car, minivan
- eating cornchips, Brisk iced tea and summarizing my life in 7 lines

Good enough.

My buddy just moved down to Sudbury.

I can't figure out why people would move from better towns, but a job is a job.

Cost of living in Toronto is crazy!

And I would kill someone if I had to drive in the 401 traffic everyday.

That's an excellent point.

I haven't gotten into that phase of my life. I'm still a semi-freeloader, lol.

I like the Toronto Maple Leafs.

I voted for Gods team

try it during the summer driving a manual car with no air conditioning

I voted Blues. I know aadams22 and a few others are Blues fans as well. I've only followed hockey for about four years, but the Blues have sucked for most of that time, soooo....

Whatever, Green Bay packers say the same thing about their team. So stupid.

BlackHawks fan here. I'm not ashamed. Devils are next, then the Flames because I like Phaneuf and Ignila.

go wings, family from detroit so it runs in the blood. time for another cup brought back to detroit!!!!!

God must not be very powerful if he can't even make his team make the playoffs.

Detroit obv. My first NHL game was at the Joe, April 1st, 1998(?), when Chris Osgood and Patrick Roy fought. My friend, his parents and I had seats 7 rows from the ice.

Also a bandwagon Pittsburgh fan, as soon as I have the extra cash I'm buying a Datsyuk jersey and either a Malkin or Crosby jersey.

los tiburones since their inception

Ha I was born into Maple Leaf parents as well (though in Stratford, close enough to TO), so naturally I'm a Bruins fan.
I'm pretty sure it was only because Ray Bourque and I share the same first name, and I thought that was cool when I was 5.

Nah, the leaf fans have the monopoly on douchebags; though given the Pens and Canucks threads they have big followings.

gee I thought you were a Leafs fan Serge. I didn't realize you'd become a Habs fan now.

the LA Angels don't play in the NHL

I dont take lightly being called a ****** bag..That is uncalled for

Surely there's an Oilers fan here somewhere.

There were about fifty of them this time last year.

I think Chester is an Oilers fan...

How do you know he didn't mean you OWN the most d-bags? He didn't really say you all WERE d-bags, right?

LOL QFT

The poll is a good idea but I think it's better at the beginning of the season. At this point you'll get a lot more voters who have interest in the playoff teams which may change the numbers.

I AM seeing a few names that I've never seen in this forum before....but then again - if I made this thread in a few months, we'd see at least 10 votes for whoever just won the Cup.

see: Logical fallacy.

I didn't know we had a Wild fan here, or maybe I'm just forgetting.

I said the same thing. Couldn't figure that one out either.

I wish we had a Flyers fan to F with.


That is all.

Where is Tulane when you need him?

St. Michaels?

LOL...Chester is a Flames fan....I'm sure he'll love being thought of as an Oilers fan.

His name in the yahoo league included the phrase "oil molester" so you gotta think there's SOME love there.

Canuckheads leading with 7 now,

Ottawa Senators [ 2 ] ** [4.65%]
