Good Monday morning hockey world, we are going to get into the playoff races and all the rest as today unfolds, but it's time to try to answer the question:
"Who is your second favorite team? And here is what I mean by that...
* The playoffs are coming, and almost half the league won't have a team in the dance. What team will be your team to follow. Who do you like?
* It doesn't have to be a playoff team. Maybe your team is in the playoffs, but you still have another team you keep close tabs on.
* Maybe since you were young you have always carried a little torch for another team. (for me, that team has always been Montreal)
* Maybe you have lived in multiple places and even though you left that place you still will pull for that team unless they are playing your number 1 team (for me, that team is San Jose)
* Maybe for some other reason you once visited and fell in love with a certain franchise and city...(for me, that team is Nashville)
* Maybe there is a team you can't miss on GameCenter... (for me, Toronto and Edmonton)
* Maybe as a kid you just like their uniforms or colors...
There can be any number of good reasons, and I want to hear them...
On the flip side....
Who is your most hated team? Who, for whatever reason, is the team you just can't stand and hate everything about... (for me, that team is...wait a second, I can't say that!)
So here is what I'd like you to do:
In the comment section list Three Teams...
#1 Your favorite #2 Your secret second favorite #3 Your most hated...
We will come up with some kind of prize for a random person in the comment thread...
Later, I will tabulate the results and we will one again find out who the NHL's second favorite team is. Previous winners include Chicago, Washington, and Pittsburgh...
