Hmm. Go the Florida team I guess; I like them both well enough so I don't really care.

Let's go the Chicago Timonens. Alternatively, go Tampa Bay Coburn/Carle Revenge Squad.

A win for Chicago legitimizes a lot of well deserved dynasty chatter before free agency begins to consume their roster. A win for Tampa Bay merely reminds the rest of North America that there is a town called Tampa Bay. I'm not even a Hawks fan but I hope they loving murder the Bolts.

I posted this in the playoff prediction thread as well, but I called this Final all the way back in October, and I'm thoroughly impressed with myself that I ended up getting it right. Go Bolts. Prove my prediction in October wrong!

I remember reading that the Bolts sell a higher percentage of tickets than any of the other local teams (including the Buccaneers which seemed weird considering Americas obsession with the NFL). Im a Hawks fan but I cant find myself being mad if they lose to Tampa, theyre an equally fun team to watch with great fans. Plus wonderllama owns.

You can sell all of the tickets you want but that's only because they're relatively cheap as gently caress and there's probably nothing else to do down there aside from Krokodil.

Non-traditional market! Fair weather fans! Half the arena filled with opposing team fans! I think that covers it.

No it was moral and ethical for them because they're the only team that's ever had an obnoxious owner who only cares about money.

Tampa is loving scary -- their stupidly young/good core of the triplets/Stamkos/Hedman plus Drouin/Vasilevsky haven't even been indoctrinated. If Drouin is awesome, those forwards are unfair. Tampa's gonna be great for a long time.

quote:Don't forget 2 of their series losses came on game 7 OT goals to eventual cup loser and cup winner. Their only legit bad year was when Hossa got concussed by Phoenix and the team fell apart. From the last thread but: I'm still offended by Raffi Torres' existence. Anyway, this series should be a Lot of Fun for everyone, both teams are capable of high octane offensive systems with a fair minimum of clutch-and-grab bullshit or borderline dirty poo poo (outside of Shaw, maybe) that plagues the West. I'm excited.

This is the matchup I picked at the start of the playoffs, both for prediction and preference. Arguably the two best run teams in the league that both play modern, exciting hockey and have a whole bunch of superstars.

Vertical Lime posted:I'm shocked you didn't save this Ah yes the only anti-tampa ad we managed to do that year before local tampa radio started to throw a shitfit about it and whined until the signs got taken down. Montreal and Philly manned up and accepted their insults instead of crying about it. If it wasn't the Hawks winning again I'd be rooting against Tampa. edit: I think we had one about all tampa fans being old people too edit2: yup  we were much worse to Philly

Also it was only for one season. Every other season, if you lived in Chicago you either went to home games or you literally couldn't watch them, sellout or not.
