Of course.

Canucks fan, here. What am I supposed to do, NOT watch the playoffs? I picked Ducks&Blue Jackets to root for these playoffs, at this point I'm just rooting for the lesser of two evils. Which is the Hawks in this series and the Rangers in the final.

COME ON GOALIE FIGHT DO IT, THIRD PERIOD C'MOOOON

that would be epic.

How sad is it that I don't even know if "Canucks" is an affectionate nickname or the actual team name?

Hockey teams I can name off the top of my head:

Blackhawks, Kings, Wilds, Rangers, Leafs (?), and now Canucks, Ducks, and Blue Jackets! I can't wait to actually FOLLOW the sport at large next season so I can feel like I at least know what the hell is going on beyond the own little microcosm of Chicago's team.

How active is the off-season thread on GAF? I have a running list of questions I want to ask, but don't want to bog down the excitement of the playoffs with stupid novice stuff.

Also that Crawford/Quick stare down in the middle of the arena was hilariously dramatic

EDIT: @ everyone else... wow. I can't see the excitement in watching a team you have no vested interest in. Do some of you guys have multiple teams you root for?

Jesus. I'm already pissed at myself for getting so sucked into this. I've always pretty much considered sports a massive waste of time and energy, when there are so many other hobbies that seem way more fulfilling on an intellectual level. At least I'm a big enough man to admit when I'm wrong, because this shit is so damn enthralling

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.

Feel free to ask any time, people are happy to answer. If the question gets lost in a shuffle of "OH FUCK SON" posts, try again between games.

I'm really liking how friendly you blokes all are. It makes me feel far more comfortable to post -- like I'm not being a bandwagon asshole by starting to get into the sport when my local team is performing well in the post season

Most of the shithead fans aren't posting anymore since most teams are out of the yoffs, and thus they have retreated back into their not-caring-about-hockey existence.

If your team isn't playing now and you're posting, you probably care at least a little bit about the game itself.

This. Plus, there's quite a few inside-jokes you'll have to get used to. And a bit of hazing. Just a tiny bit. We can all take what we dish out though, and we're never serious. And when there's no games on, we're all good friends. Except for Tabris.

Dammit -- are there a lot of GENUINE asshole hockey fans on GAF that post in this community? That sounds pretty awful

No, not really, though there are some. They are generally shunned and mocked though. Things are more somber by this point. Most people are very sad.

There are only three fanbases left with anything to be happy about. The rest of us are just trying to figure out which team we least want to lose.
