Do you ever cheer on other teams besides your favorite?

Answer 1

My Favorite team is the Bruins, but I will cheer for any team playing against Montreal or Toronto.
In the 8 cases of Montreal vs. Toronto, those are my worst days of the season, especially when they go into OT or Shootout.

Answer 2

Well here's a list of teams I cheer for:
1. Avalanche
2. Penguins
3. Flyers
4. Maple Leafs
5. Bruins
6. Any team playing against the Red Wings
7. Any team that's playing against a NW division team (unless it's another NW division team, at certain times this can include the wings)

Really though, Avs and Pens are solid #1 and #2, the rest of the teams are just sort of tied for 3rd, but way behind the Pens and Avs.

Answer 3

Yes, who doesn't love the story of an underdog? Whenever a series is tied 2-2, and one team has always been the clear favorite (usually the Detroit Red Wings), I root for 7 games and for the underdog to win. It just makes the sport more entertaining that way.

And while I'm a San Jose fan, I rooted for Anaheim in the Stanley Cup because I thought it'd be cool if a West Coast team actually won it.

Answer 4

I will always first cheer for the Detroit Red Wings, but if I am watching another game I go for the team with good sportsmanship. I will not cheer for a team if Chris Pronger is on it. Neither would I cheer for the Aves because of Patrick Roy. Mario Lemieux's team gets my vote because he has earned respect. I am one who will watch just about any game, and if you are watching a game you have to pull for one team or the other; otherwise it is not exciting.

Answer 5

Yeah... i watch a lot of hockey so i'm always rooting for one team. Usually I will cheer for the team the has some cool players like the Detroit Red Wings. I am a die hard KINGS FAN!!!! and always root for them.

In the playoffs i was pulling for the Sens and Detroit. I would've loved to see that Stanley Cup series but once the red wings lost then i was for the Sens but they lost too. I hate the Ducks even though i really like Pronger and TEemu. But ever since they got rid of Paul they are just such a dud and boring team.

Answer 6

Wild fan~always cheer for other North West division rivals when we are not playing them, also when knocked out of the playoffs, cheer for the team that knocked you, then when they win the cup, you can consider yourself the second best team in the league.

Answer 7

My main teams are the Red Wings and anyone facing the Aves. On top of that, I'll cheer on the rest of the Original 6 (except when they finally face the Wings), Pittsburgh (because my grandpa moved from the Pittsburgh area to the Detroit area), and a Canadian team at random.

Answer 8

Absolutly, I think all real fans have a back up team, going in to the playoffs. Me I usually cheer for the team that beat us in the playoffs. If your gonna get beat. You might as well get beat by the champions.

Answer 9

Always....

I have been an LA KINGS fan since 1981-1982. I live and die with LA.

But during the regular season I get NHL Center ICE and I watch all the LA games and I also watch the NY RANGERS and TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS. I enjoy all three teams. Only problem is sometimes the LEAFS and RANGERS play at the same time, so I have to flip back and forth.

Answer 10

I'm a huge Leaf fan, I bleed Blue and White, but now live in Calgary. I go to as many Flames games as I can, and unless we are playing the Leafs, I am a member in good standing of the " C of Red ". To me it is the greatest game on the planet, and I enjoy watching hockey on all levels. The World Jr. Championship, and the Mac's Midget Tournament ( every Dec. in Calgary ) are must see's for me
