Since then the final has featured teams that I detest and had no interest in watching win a cup, namely Chicago, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Washington, and Vegas (an expansion team that made the whole league look like a joke). Looks like this year will be no different. I look forward to accidentally stumbling across an account of Boston's five game series win sometime in July. It's a long way to October (sigh).

Man I couldn’t imagine not watching the finals. Maybe it’s because I really only hate a handful of teams (mainly the Rangers and Flyers), but I can usually find a good storyline to get behind. Last year I wanted to see Ovi finally win the Cup. Guy is the best natural goal scorer of this generation and he makes the game fun (if he’s not playing your team).

This year I’ll root for STL because they’re a good hockey town, and they’ve been waiting almost 50 years for their first Cup. And because it’s obviously fun to root against Marchand.
