The only thing I care about in the NHL playoffs is seeing them eliminated every year. On par with the St. Louis Cardinals, the Green Bay Packers and the English National soccer team as one of the most entitled fanbases.
I have a hard time supporting the Oilers since my brother has always been a Flames fan (he could murder me if I uttered something like Loyal to Oil). But any team is better than the Leafs. 😉
@Viper Not because they are Canadian. The real problem is that they have the worst fans and they think they are “Canada’s team” which they aren’t. Most of Canada can’t stand them. 😂
I don’t find it odd that there’s an odd number of periods. I think it would feel too long if it was split into four and the periods would be too long if split in two. It seems to work well for hockey.
I really am not a sports fan but my favorite hockey team is the one beating the Toronto Maple Leafs. Then again my favorite baseball team is who ever is beating the Blue Jays. However the pattern ends there. I hate all basketball teams equally. Such a silly game. Bunch of grown men running around dribbling in their shorts.
@hippyjoe1955 Definitely yes to hating on the Leafs. I mildly support the Blue Jays since we don’t have anything else in Canada, but I’m truly a Dodgers fan. I agree 100% regarding basketball. I have a nephew who loves the Raptors though and hopefully will be able to take him to a game next season (the things we do for children haha).
