It's weird... I went to a Penguins playoff game in 2008 when they knocked out the Flyers and the place was rocking....but during this year's ECF it was a snoozefest. GET BEHIND YOUR TEAM!!
Although I suppose in Pitt, Toronto, and other places the real fans are stuck outside.

I saw the jets in tampa two years ago. That fan base was electric (word play). Mind you, it was the last saturday night game of the season, but sold out and louder than toronto.

Just curious Jon, who's your favorite team? I've never quite been able to figure it out lol I mainly like watching a well matched game and gave up cheering for any one particular team. For example that St Louis/LA series was amazing. Historically my favourite team was Detroit, but that was mainly because I was a huge Yzerman fan. After he and more recently Lidstrom retired it hasn't been the same. I'm in Hamilton, so barring a team moving here, I'd love to have the Leafs give me something to cheer for but they're so chronically inept that that's impossible. THey've had maybe two good seasons in the 25 or so years I've been watching hockey. It's so statically improbable I can only only assume they're trying to blow it. I think in this age of free agency it's tough to commit myself to a team and then watch my favourite players leave at the end of a contract, but I suppose if a team moved to Hamilton I'd cheer for them regardless of how inept they'd surely become.

Hockey fan first eh? I dig it. Obviously I'm a huge Jets fan, but I'll watch any hockey that comes my way; I was a WBS Penguins STH (Despite despising the big Pens for much of that time) for 8 years.

Anytime I wander into nhl discussion or trade proposals I find pretty much every thread devolves into massive homerism by the tenth post or so.

When they hit around a three or four game streak (winning or losing) the crazies come out.
