Thought I’d try and get some traction here.
Jets fan because I started watching them when they came back into the league and loved their vibe. Before that liked Pittsburgh and San Jose cos I was 6 when I saw them on tv at my hockey loving cousins house.
Soft spot for Seattle, Minnesota, Isles and Boston (minus Marchand).
I started watching hockey in '88 when I moved to Calgary and started going to Flames games with my Dad. Awesome to have your home team be champions when you first follow a sport. But then we moved Texas a year or two after MN moved the North Stars to Dallas, and that wasn’t cool, so I kept rooting for the Flames. But it wasn’t easy to keep up with hockey in Texas at that time, so I kinda fell out of following the sport. Then when I started looking back at it around 97/98, I really wanted to move to Colorado and the Avs were really hot, and they were also a Rocky Mountains team like the Flames, so they were my two teams. Then I moved to Minnesota just in time for the inaugural season of the Minnesota Wild. So I had my home team and my Rocky Mountain teams. I’ve been back in Texas for about 20 years now and decided maybe 2/3 years ago that it’s ok to not be angry and the Stars for leaving MN anymore, so now I have Dallas, MN, Colorado, and Calgary as my teams.
Why didn’t you love to Cleveland in 2016? We won the calder cup! Coulda been a Monsters fan!
