Mithrandir Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I hate this 2016-17 season. why? on Nashville.Because I have no idea who to root for now. Divisional rival or a team that may catch the Hawks in Stanley Cup wins ever since Toews and Kane showed up on the scene. In your case, that's easy. In no way do you want the Pens anywhere near your recent success. And it's not like the Preds are a team full of assholes that makes them easy to hate. There are no Crosbys or Kunitzs or Malkins on Nashville. Also, I'd say the Preds are not about to become a dynasty. So, in my opinion, I say GO PREDS.You're probably right. I'll have to play the numbers game. It's just that Nashville people have gotten so cocky, if they win they'll be impossible to live with. Fans act that way every year when their team makes it to the final. Nashville is a cool city and not a traditional hockey market so I like that they're getting to enjoy this for once. The alternative is the Pens winning and watching their fans try to convince everyone that they're a dynasty. :eyeroll:You sound like a sore loser. I had a feeling you'd say that.A sore loser and a psychic!! No, not a psychic. You're just really predictable. God forbid anyone outside of Pittsburgh not love your Penguins, huh? I rooted for the Islanders during their 1980-83 Stanley Cup run. Bossy, Trottier, Gillies, Potvin, Nystrom, Smith, Goring, the Sutter brothers, etc.. Loved that team!

I just love watching hockey. I hate the Caps, Pens and Rangers mainly for division rivalry reasons, and because there are guys on those teams that I just don't like. But I would have no problem rooting for the Devils or Canes in the final. I like the Preds this year because they're a small market team with a passionate fanbase, and I like how they play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Game 1 down, but Pens have really met a competitor! Should be a good series!The key for Nashville has to be Rinne. He didn't have a good game, and until he can prove he can perform in pressure situations, the Preds will always be wannabes. Kinda like Rask in Boston. Good thing we had Niemi when we did, if I may continue the Finnish route.SISU! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
