Another Fan Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) I check in from time to time on the Sabres thread to see how the Sabres are doing. While not a Sabres fan I like to see them do well. But I never really see mention of other fans of other hockey teams. Im from New Jersey where I grew up rooting for the Devils. I still follow them to an extent but don’t watch the games. Any Devils or Rangers fans here pumped for this series coming up? To me it seemed like it was a much bigger deal in the 90s. But maybe that’s because I don’t have my finger on the pulse of it Edited April 17, 2023 by Another Fan Quote

Gregg Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 Looks like the Mets aren't rooting for either of these teams. Quote
IBTG81 Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 Devils fan here. Future is mega bright and I’m looking forward to the next 7-10 years. Quote

DrW Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 As a German, my second favorite NHL team (a mile behind the Sabres) are the Oilers with Leon Draisaitl. It seems somewhat unfair to everybody else that two of the best forwards are on the same team, but such is life. Go Leon! Go Connor! Quote

Success Posted April 18, 2023 Posted April 18, 2023 Hockey is 4th place for me - but I like the Rangers. Quote

Or, even more interesting IMHO, would McDermott have had more success with the same players? 1 Quote

The Bills are playing.” 1 Quote

Expand The hatred is there, but the play hasn’t been. I’m a huge fan of Schmid (Devils young goalie) and have been all year. He has “it” and I legit think he’s going to be a star. 1 Quote
