Red Wings fan here!

They haven't performed well in the playoffs the last couple years but I'm not a fair-weather fan. I'll always be rooting for them! :)

Yeah, were not exactly russia/Canada style, but the team i support has an average attendace of 2300, which is about the same for all the teams in the league.

I guess it's because i've never seen GB in the WC or the OS or the WorldCup.

I don't think people outside of Britain know much about GB teams but i'll look into it. :)

Or... it might just be because your so well known for your great football. I dunno. :)

Norway isn't all that good either, we've made the WC and the OS a few times but Sweden on the other hand, they won pretty much everything, OS AND WC all in one year.

They have Mats Sundin, he's the main reason i'm cheering for Maple Leafs too, used to play with him while he was playing for Djurgården in Sweden as a Junior, best player i've ever seen, better than Forsberg.

unfortunately, i'm a maple leafs fan too. there won't be any cups for us any time soon :(

i was really pulling for the penguins last season though (especially once i was certain the leafs were going to miss the post-season).

I'm a recovering Leafs fan. Just moved to Alberta so I figure this is as good an excuse as any to stop cheering for them.

In my world it's easy. Hockey is the only sport that actually matters. Almost all of my extended family is from or lives in Western Pennsylvania which makes me a penguins fan. We have seen our fair share of bad years recently but a new era has begun and personally I am excited to simply be a part of it. Aside from the penguins, the past two seasons have really brought a whole other level of play in my opinion. I haven't seen such good hockey.

Well, we even play hockey in Belgium. Attendance is around 230 for the top teams. :oops:

Played hockey myself for about 6 years in the lower divisions...

Maple Leafs long time sufferer here!

August is the longest month of the year for me - it's agonizingly painful waiting for September to come so my Men's League can start up and give me some hockey to look forward to each week!

I side with the Boston Bruins. Wherever you find a Montreal fan you are sure to find a Boston fan....LOL. We are far from the cup, new General Manager making things tough.

I'm a Swede, so I have a puck between my legs (all swedes do :)).

Frölunda HC (Gothenburg, Sweden) is the team for me. If I need to pick a North American team it would be Maple Leafs because of Mats Sundin one of my all time favorite players (he never quits, just keeps going and going), but I have fun watching multiple North American teams, so I have no absolute favorite.

I even played hockey for 15 or so years, first in Frölunda HC and after I moved out of Gothenburg, I played 8 years for LBK, which is a mid division team of a town 30 kilometers outside of Gothenburg.

What do you know about Carl Soderberg? The Bruins recently traded for him. His stats looked really good before he got injured, but I don't know how that translates to the NHL.

New Jersey Devils here. This year isn't looking too good :(

But then you never know, Lemaire always ends up pulling something out of his hat, and it usually involves several underplayed/underrated players...

San Jose Sharks fan here. I keep telling myself they'll win it all this year, but I think my hopes would be bolstered if they traded for a top defenseman.
