I honestly don't really know who all I like anymore. I think I still enjoy Edmonton, but they are annoying now, so it's hard to say. Maybe Ottawa? I don't LIKE like Ottawa, but I don't hate them as much as I used to.

Oh yeah, I do kinda like Edmonton too. Ottawa I give no shits about. I mean, I want Canadian teams to do well, so yay Calgary, Vancouver, Ottawa, etc. But meh as well.
I strongly dislike Pittsburgh. I somewhat still dislike NJ and Detroit.
And SJ has really pretty colours.

I like Kessel, but I hate Pittsburgh. Case in point, Kessel and Murray win them a Cup. Crosby gets the Conn Smythe...Um.

Number one team will always be the Leafs, simply because I grew up watching Sundin and Cujo. That's all I really needed to watch a Leaf game. Of course, you have guys I low-key loved like Roberts, Tucker, Renberg and Reichel, but the main reason I loved the Leafs was the game tying goal that lit up the ACC against Carolina, scored by a sneaky rebound of Sundin's.
When I turned around 14 or 15, I heard of an emergence of a stay-at-home, star defenseman by the name of Shea Weber. I watched a few Nashville games, and the immediately became my #2 team. I've been following them ever since.
Number three is a tough one, I can sway between Colorado and New Jersey, but I don't follow much hockey anymore except for the two teams.

You know what I think I also loved Nashville's logo and shit when they came in, thought that was neat.
I never liked Reichel for some reason - he just bothered me. I remember when the Leafs coaching staff, in the playoffs, fucked up and accidentally left Reichel off the stupid "here's our roster for tonight" list and he got kicked out of the game lol. There's a video of it somewhere on youtube I think.
Here it is (I think it's Reichel, I have no volume and can't remember):
But other guys I loved that were grinders who I just thought had a ton of heart were Chad Kilger (later traded to Florida, never reported, immediately retired instead of moving his family away from Toronto and he became a fireman). Gary Valk - always had a knack for scoring at the right moment, but was never a top tier player. Carlo Colaiacovo - never saw anyone get crushed so hilariously more than him. Jeff O'Neil - there's a video that I just can never find where he accidentally took a puck in the back of the neck and collapsed and started flailing around because he thought he was paralyzed. He wasn't, he just had a little scare. I feel bad for thinking this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, because Jeff seems like a good guy, and that had to have been a scary moment, but knowing he's fine and seeing that clip makes me giggle.

I'm assuming that you're a Habs fan now since Weber was just traded to them for Subban |

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED
Okay, first the Oilers trade a Top 5 LW in the league for... Adam Larsson? What the hell?
Then the Habs dump PK Subban for a declining and 9-years remaining at 7.8M cap hit Shea Weber? Enjoy your 2 good seasons left in that body. Jesus.
And then Stamkos sits down with Toronto yesterday with CEO of Canadian Tire, and it sounds like Leafs stood pat on around 9M per year for 7 years, and emphasized 5 on 5 play and performance. Stamkos said he wanted to be highest paid player in the NHL and the Leafs (apparently) laughed at him. Bam, Lightning for life.
lol holy fuck. so much for one day holy balls

I would agree with that. Both Subban and Weber were the highest paid defensemen in the league.
