If you're the fan of any hockey team (not Canadian teams), would you like to boo the Canadian anthem?

No, that would just be unnecessarily disrespectful.\n\nAs a child, I was taught that booing is rude, and that if you don't like something, ya just don't clap.

I don't know what that other guy is thinking; Edmonton doesn't have a fan base? How about the fact that pretty much all of Canada is cheering on the Oilers? But anyway, most of the people on here are american, or other, and it's just not as popular anywhere else as it is in Canada so I think people just aren't thinking about it. Carolina has had a team for such a short time that no one is really a die hard fan yet. Lots of people are just jumping on the bandwagon and don't really have any idea what it means to have their team in the finals.

No.  I hate the Steelers and Steeler fans.  Thank you for allowing me to vent, its hard to do that when you live in Pittsburgh.

HAHA. Another disgruntled fan. Don't be angry because you're team didn't have what it takes to win the cup.

I agree with you. This is a national hockey league. And plus there are going to be teams that you hate. But you dont need to take it out on the people who pull for them or live in the same state. I live in North Carolina. Not everybody is as dumb as you think. There are people who know what a hockey stick and puck are. I mean, they do watch the news.\n\n>>>>>>----- Hockeycraze99-\nAccording to game 7 Carolina deserved the cup. They won fair and square.All because Edmonton's goalie got hurt in the early part of The series, doesnt mean their backup goalie couldnt have been just as good as Roloson. Carolina proved to be a good team during the regular season and the playoffs.\n\n_-_-_-_-_-_\n\n<3 CANES\n_-_-_-_-_-_\n\nREDNECK HOCKEY!!!

Well, Moon, as it's still only the first round, it is far too early to tell. That said, I do like what's been happening so far. As correctly predicted here, the loathsome fat-cat red wings of dread detroit -- the #1 seed in the playoffs -- were unceremoniously dumped by the underdog Edmonton Oilers last night in six games! WOOHOO!!! Also, over the weekend, the Colorado Avalanche took out the hated dallas stars, another favourite, so again: WOOHOO!!!\n\nWhen my glorious Buffalo Sabres remove the utterly hateful philistinia floaters tonight (or Thursday night, either way, they go), the happiness trifecta will be complete and my three most hated NHL teams will have been eliminated in one fell swoop (I'll save that last WOOHOO!!! for later, lol). I love nothing more than to revel in the victory of the good and triumph in the defeat and abject humiliation of the evil -- and this applies to EVERYTHING! :)\n\nBut I digress... One reason these could be the greatest Stanley Cup playoffs of all time is that we missed out on ANY hockey all of last year because of the NHL lockout. Hockey came back in its full raiment of glory this season with rules changes which have directly correlated with a vastly improved on-ice product. Hockey has never been so good! Another reason -- indeed, THE reason! -- this could be the greatest playoffs ever is that my Sabres are so awesomely talented that they could conceivably go all the way and WIN Lord Stanley's Cup! Were that to happen -- and it's far too early to say now -- I would die and go to heaven on the spot! (OK, not literally... I don't even believe in heaven.) ;)\n\nAs for my expectations, well, I'm quietly confident my Sabres will continue to advance after defeating those despicable goon flyers tonight in their hellhole home in philistinia (Can ya tell I hate that godforsaken place and their truly horrible people?). But can they go all the way? In the East, where my Sabres play, Ottawa and New Jersey will be tough opponents and they may have to defeat both to continue (Carolina is struggling badly with Montreal and I'm not worried about facing either of them). If they can get out of the conference, I like their chances in the Cup Final, no matter who they face from the West. But again, all that is a long way away...\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! Let's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! Let's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! :)

Yes.  I play hockey and the funny thing is, we don't care if you like our sport.  Yes, there are "black ppl" in hockey.  There aren't that many because not many want to play.  When "black ppl" show up to play, they're welcomed with open arms, unlike other sports (golf, baseball, etc).  When you talk about how we "smack a black plastic thing with a stick", first of all, it's vulcanized rubber, moron.  Secondly, any sport can be reduced to that type of description.\n\nFootball: "they just run around with a leather oval"\nBaseball:  "they just try to hit a ball with a stick"\nBasketball:"they just try to put a ball in a hoop"\n\nNothing personal, but hey, you bashed my sport.

New hockey is so much more exciting!  I love it.  I agree with your point on refereeing.  I wish a few of the transplant/expansion teams would actually go back to Canada (who cares about the Panthers anyway?)

Nope.\nIt's a Canadian game.

It's better than just "good," Moon, it is AWESOME! My Sabres are playing so consistently well that none can stop them on their quest of the Cup. I honestly believe we can and will win it all! \n\nKeep rooting for Buffalo because we are going all the way!\n\nGO SABRES!!!

Yeah, hockey is pretty dumb.  What would happen if the violence were eliminated?  Bet people would quit watching.  Maybe they should just let the players bludgeon each other to the death, then "Game Over".

Personally, I'd cheer for Italy. But Austrailia is a good team too. So when you're watching the game just judge fairly and cheer for every goal.
