Panthers hands down on this one.

Not gonna lie. I started folllowing hockey the year the Panthers came into the league. I liked their goalie- John VanBiesbrouck- and I thought they were my team. I had a sweater and a hat that I still have.

The reality is that I was always a Sabres fan. I saw the guys come up through my hometown of Rochester, and in the 90’s, it was impossible to watch out of town teams anyway. I always watched the Sabres.

But… I have that weird connection to the Panthers (and with my weird Rochester accent I still say it almost like “Painthers”), and I can’t root for Boston against anyone except TO.

So go Panthers go.

I'm rooting against Boston.

I'm rooting against Boston.

Yeah there’s that. I rooted for Boston in the last round but I was really rooting against Toronto.

It was hard to pick a rooting interest in that one since they’re both big div rivals, but it came down to two things: first, Toronto’s insane cup drought and playoff futility against Boston are humiliating and I find that hilarious. Second, the drunk obnoxious fans who come down the QEW and take over our arena a couple times a year don’t wear black and gold.

In reality I’d probly root for any team over Boston except TO and Washington. Their bandwagon fan base doesn’t deserve success. The only thing I’ve enjoyed about the Ovechkin era was all the times that Caps “fans”’ paid 4-5x face value for tickets to a game 7 just to watch the Caps choke.

I like the Panthers and used to follow them. Was here from their start with the rats and Pavel Bure

havent followed them this year because The Sabres FO gas soured me on the sport.
