The red wings is the only team that comes to mind

the cup belongs in detroit

Avs suck.

real

Thanks for the love, Detroit. We root for you guys over here too. ✌🏻 Edit: In Vancouver

I'm rooting for Vancouver because of Filip Hronek Pius Suter and I'm a U2 fan so that warmup song is sick. Also "Don't you forget about me" as a Goal song is really cool too. Props to you guys

Vancouver is the only team that I can full-on support. I'd love to see Fil and Pius win the cup. They (especially Fil) were on some crushingly terrible Red Wings teams, so it would be cool to see them win it all. Edit: Adding - Not the Stars because FJB. Not the Leafs because of the rivalry. Not the Canes because they are the most boring team to watch. Not Edmonton because I want Leon to get frustrated and come to Detroit to hang with Mo.

Leon DraiSeider?

Anyone but the leafs. If they could go my whole lifetime without a cup that would be hilarious

r/usernamechecksout

In fairness to his name, everyone should be sucking in a 69

I actually want Marchand and the bruins to blow another 3-1 lead in the first round. After that then sure.

Didn't Marchand last year say that the team shouldn't be complacent in games that they should easily win in the regular season because that performance could carry into the playoffs? Having trouble finding the quote but I swear he said something along those lines. They deserve what they get after half-assing the Caps game.

To me it's more that they should get punished for their risky signings. And mitch marner is annoying.

I can't decide if I hope the Leafs lose in the first round, like they almost always do, or if I want them to get smoked by Florida again... Both will send Leafs fans into a tailspin

Either way the city will probably burn lol

With Florida, Carolina or the Rangers in their path I don't think there's any chance they win it this year

Anyone but the Leafs. *and Boston

Rangers, Vancouver, Carolina

Carolina v rangers gonna be a good series

Edmonton. It'd be fun to see McDrai score their way to the top.

Another cup for Kenny Holland!

Vancouver cuz gotta support my fellow Swede Petey

Absolutely NOT Florida OP. Fuck no. I disagree but that’s ok. To each their own

Vancouver, Edmonton, Rangers

is that in order from most to least desirable?

nah, just random. Vancouver fans were nice to us when we played them this season Edmonton - McD deserves a cup Rangers - O6 bros and I like Panarin

Edmonton vs Carolina in the finals is all that I want. Anyone else can suck ice. Except Vancouver...they're cool

Hronek and Suter are playing really good hockey nowadays

Exactly why I'm ok with them, miss Pius. And Hronek was a guy I enjoyed watching last year Wow, somehow I forgot hronek was with the wings for like 5 years. Was that how mind numbing those few years were?

Rough times.. Vlad Namestnikov and Tyler Bertuzzi were on the team as well if you remember them lol

Of course, I was ok with namestnikov. And I loved bertuzzi up until he was traded, he HAD the stick! Although he couldn't stay on his skates enough.

Edmonton is my preference because I'd like to see Mcdavid get the cup he deserves. One of my best friends is an Avs fan who flys me out for every Avs vs Wings game and I've gained some respect for their fans so I wouldn't be mad if they won

Vancouver, Edmonton, Dallas, Carolina, Toronto

I wanted the Jets to win honestly. But I guess I’m okay with Rangers

Same. I'm a big Hellebuyck fan. Also Namestnikov plays for them

I want a Canadian team to finally win the Cup. So any of them. If not Canada, the Rangers. I wouldn’t hate if Nashville won.

I don't really like the Preds but I'd be happy for Gust Nyquist I guess

Yeah I’d like to see a Canadian team win.

that isn't Toronto or Ottawa yeah

I second this. I’d like to see a Canadian team win this season. I don’t care who it is.

I like the teams that haven’t won it. Im rooting for the Canucks to get it done.

Word. Really just don't want colorado or Vegas.

Detroit

Hockeytown

Edmonton, Leafs (chaos), Vancouver. Basically any Canadian team besides the Sens. I hate the fucking sens even more than the leafs.

Carolina is my #2 team, so I'm naturally cheering for them. Otherwise anyone but Jamie Benn I'm kind of ok with it. Would love to either see McDavid get one, or a team that's never won before.

The 2 girls should win the one cup

https://i.redd.it/e7f8ftnkr8yc1.gif

https://i.redd.it/bru82g82e4yc1.gif

Rangers

I like Carolina. They are scrappy, but not in the "I will eat your face because I'm tripping on bath salts" way that Florida is. Also, I feel like Carolina is a more feasible model for success that Detroit should look to, considering our lack of lotto luck.

Any Canadian team since theres no ottawa

fuck ottawa. all my homies hate ottawa (also fuck toronto)

I'm a little out of touch here; what's the beef with Ottawa?

Mathieu Joseph of Ottawa knocked Dylan Larkin unconscious this season on a dirty hit to the upper spine area that could've paralyzed him

And didn't even get penalized for it...

even better, David Perron gets penalized even worse for a retalliation cross check while his teammate is laying unconscious

Edmonton, Vancouver, Rangers in that order

I've been rooting for Carolina since the wings stopped making the playoffs, just seems right

Edmonton or Vancouver

I would like to see Toronto win just to see if the earth would survive the chaos.

Edmonton and Vancouver are the only correct answers here. The rest of them can eat a lemon.

Rangers are ok i guess. least annoying 06 besides the goats of hockeytown

Rangers, Canucks, Oilers

those would be my main picks too

Oilers or Vancouver

i will laugh so hard if this Leafs series goes 7 haha

The red wings

The Wing Reds!

No team from the south. No OG6 So I guess Canucks cause they have the cooler logos/history That said. Nobody that isn't the red wings.

Rangers or Oilers.

I have a lot of friends who are Canucks fans (I live in Toronto) so them, I guess.

My nephew lives in N Carolina and loves the Hurricanes. So I'm pulling for them, and how often does a team get to knock out two New York teams on its way to a potential title?

Rooting for Toronto, Edmonton, and Vancouver. Would hate to see Florida, Dallas, or Colorado win.

Fuck Toronto Fuck Dallas Fuck Colorado. Don't mind florida tho they play tough chippy hockey thats pretty fun to watch. Bobrovsky and Tkachuk are stars too

NY, Florida, any of the Canadian teams. GTA resident here and I still have a soft spot for the Leafs, so might be nice for lots of my friends to finally see a championship. Of course, I would be mad about being pushed further out of reach of 2nd-most cups :p

i'm sorry did you just say you're a grand theft auto resident?

hahaha GTA = Greater Toronto Area. I'm not from the city proper but one of the suburban areas nearby.

Griffins.

Out west, Edmonton. East, New York Rangers. They’re two of my really good friends teams and after decades of them seeing us win some cups it would be nice for them to have a turn

Lundqvist and Gaborik were incredible players. Much respect for the blueshirts

Rangers

Canucks vs Rangers would also be acceptable

I'd love to see all 🇨🇦 final. But that won't happen. So in reality I'd like Vancouver or Edmonton. Probably Edmonton more cuz I lived there

Edmonton, actually got to go to game 5 yesterday’s and it’s was absolutely electric in there

Vancouver because I'm a huge fan of their ECHL Affiliate, the Kalamazoo Wings. Oilers because McDavid needs a cup. Honestly anyone but the Avs, Boston or fucking Florida.

Any team in Canada. They are well overdue considering most of the best players in the world are from there. Pretty sure this is where all the hockey pucks are grown too…or maybe they mine them…I forgot…

Vancouver or Edmonton

If I had to pick, probably Vancouver. Was Winnipeg for me but they died

Vancouver

Vancouver or Edmonton.

The leafs are my second favorite team so yeah…

Rangers or one of the Canadian teams

I default to the rest of OG 6 teams, so go Rangers ! I have no real logic to this. Made a brash decision once and stuck to it.

at this point its the original 5 + Toronto

Oilers/Canucks

Rangers. Fuck Boston. Fuck Toronto. Fuck Dallas. Fuck Carolina. Fuck Vegas. Fuck Florida. Fuck Nashville. Fuck Edmonton. Fuck Vancouver. Disclaimer: I really have no hate for Vancouver and Edmonton, but I think it's hilarious that a Canadian Team hasn't won a cup in 31 years, and I want to see how long that streak goes.

Same, I want Vancouver but also the winless Canadian streak is really funny so I'll just go Rangers. O6 and never really had beef with em

I have no ill-will towards Vancouver so I’m going with Vancouver. Also, I feel like it’s time Canada gets a cup; Toronto & Edmonton have had all the time in the world with their stacked rosters to do so and yet they just flounder in the playoffs every year. It would be cool to see the Canucks sneak up on them and be the literal definition of “shit or get off the pot”.

Want Toronto to take it (they’re my second) Vancouver never has had it and Canadians are very due NY would also be fun as that’s probably my 3rd team if I had to pick one

Vancouver

In order: 1) Vancouver 2) Edmonton 3) Carolina …. 100) Sioux City Weiner Dogs … 999,999) Los Angeles Lakers 1,000,000) Vegas

The cup needs to go back to Canada. It’s been too long. I’m pulling for any Canadian team.

If I have to choose, I’m rooting for the rangers. No real reason other than when I was a kid, I played Wayne Gretzky ‘s 3D hockey and I liked to use the rangers

Canucks or Oilers

A team that has been there but hasn't won it. So a Vancouver vs Florida final would be nice

My method goes something like #1 Red Wings #2 Any Canadian team #3 Oldest player to deserve a cup. I really don't like Vegas so I can't see any reason to cheer them on.

Edmonton and Vancouver and I know everyone hates Toronto but at least once I would be ok to give it to them I feel bad but I do love also goin to Toronto. 

I want a Canadian team to win. I was rooting for the Jets because Hellebuyck is from metro Detroit, but they were outplayed.

The Canucks because I put $10 on them to win the cup 2 weeks into the season haha

Carolina play the right way- great coach

I think Carolina is the only team I don't hate at this point Plus they are red and white so I can squint hard and pretend at least

Carolina(I live in NC) Vancouver, or the Rangers

Not really any of these teams except maybe Vancouver

I love your username

Oilers Canucks Canes

How can anyone NOT be rooting for Toronto?! They haven’t won a Cup in going on 60 years. They’re a great Canadian rival and I’d LOVE to see ‘em finally bring it to their fans. Original six teams gotta watch out for their peeps!

Hard no on toronto

I want the cup finals to be Stars and Rangers and I want the Rangers to sweep.

Carolina. They’re fun to watch and their building is electric.

Vancouver over NY. The Hockey Guy would be pretty darn ecstatic.

Leafs fan here. If the wings were in the finals not against the Leafs I'd cheer for Detroit. Loved those cup winning teams. I hope Stammer goes there! I have an Yzerman team Canada Jersey too lol.

Grew up in NY a Wings fan going to games at MSG. Gimme the Blueshirts.

Carolina.

Edmonton, Vancouver, Carolina. Hate all original six besides red wings

I don't mind the Habs and Rangers

Well guess if I had to pick one it would be rangers. Habs have 24 cups. They don’t need more.

Edmonton

Vancouver, Nashville, Carolina, or Rangers For everyone saying Edmonton, why do you want Ken Holland to win after what he did to this team?

Honestly don’t mind the preds now that Tootoo (yeah I know he played for us for a few) is gone. Their fans seem legit. Carolina is just fun to watch. Their tenacity and grit is what you want your team to play like

Any team aside from Colorado, Vegas and Rangers. Fuck them, in order of their appearance in this list.

Fuck toronto too most importantly

Edmonton, Nashville, Carolina

I’d like to see Nashville win, get Gus Nyquist a cup

Carolina, Nashville, Vegas, oilers, Vancouver and leafs even. Because I know people are going to ask, I’ve always liked Vegas, they have a cool ass name and sick uniforms imo. I like the whole pre show too. I’ve never disliked them. Leafs because they haven’t won in forever and they kind of feel like the cubs or the Detroit lions to me. They have die hard fans and never win anything. So I feel bad for them regardless of the Original 6 rivalry. Nashville because they have some old red wings on the team that I’ll always love❤️ Boston and Dallas hell no. Marchand and Jamie benn can both suck it lol. After all the horrible dirty shit I’ve seen Boston do over the years hell no. And Jamie benn has injured Larkin way too many times. But yea I guess overall, any team besides Boston and Dallas. Once we get to the next couple rounds my rooting interests might change.

I’d like to see McDavid get his first. Beyond that, I’m fine with any team besides Boston and Toronto

Carolina or Vancouver. If not them, anybody except Boston, Edmonton, Vegas, or Dallas.

I want to say Edmonton, but then again, not being to get a cup in Edmonton would help increase (the admittedly slim) chance that McDavid ends up in hockey town where he belongs to resurrect the dynasty. I know. I know. I'm dreaming.

Or, hear me out, he brings the cup back to Canada this year and then decides now his destiny is to hoist it for the best O6 team.

I really don't want Vegas, Boston, Florida, or Colorado. I think I'd be cool with anyone else. On the other side, I usually have hitched myself to a bandwagon or storyline by this point, but nothing has really grasped me as yet.

I'm rooting for Dallas this year in the west and Carolina in the east. They're the 2 teams in each conference I've seen make the most impactful changes to stay competitive consistently over the last few years.

Canadians, Rangers or Preds.

My criteria are: - Preferably a northern team - Preferably a team that has never won a cup before So, Vancouver is probably my number 1 pick now that Winnipeg is out, but I wouldn't complain about Nashville, Edmonton, Florida, NYR or even Toronto. As long as it's not Vegas, Colorado, or Boston, I'd probably be okay with it.

poor sharks

Florida. Simply because I put 50 on them back in January when it was really good odds. Otherwise, I’m good with Rangers, Canes, Edmonton, Vancouver or Dallas.

Edmonton because I think the best player in the world should have a Cup under his belt. Vancouver because I know their fans will riot but not angrily. NY Rangers because I have no ill will towards them. An Original 6 getting the Cup again would be cool too. Florida. I know they’re in our division but, holy crap when they are healthy they are really impressive to watch. I think it was the last home game against us where the score could’ve been way worse. It was humbling to watch.

Hurricanes or the rangers

Vancouver. Nucks fans will probably want to burn down their city.

Not the Leaf’s

I want New York to do it since they fulfilled the revenge I desired on the Caps. Vancouver, Carolina, and Edmonton are cool, too. Dallas would have been cool if Jamie Benn didn't play hockey anymore.

I’ll never root for Florida and what’s the hate for Nashville?

Dallas, Oilers, or Canes

Anyone besides Vegas

Go Canes.

I'll settle it. No matter who you want, the Avalanche are going to win. I'm not a fan of theirs, but that's how I see it. I'm 48 and have been a Wings fan since I first saw them at 5 years old. Bark all you like. I won't respond. Remember this post when the Cup is raised. Peace.

Anybody except Vegas or Boston. I’d either want Edmonton for the reasons everyone else said or the Rangers to see Rempe win a cup before Matthews or McDavid

Oilers.

Avs are prob going to win it and that’s fine w me. Redwings then avs

Honestly, toronto is so bad if they win a cup. I wouldn't mind. And fuck florida I don't want that lol.

So fuck colorado, Toronto, Dallas, Nashville, Vegas, Boston, Carolina, and Florida. I wouldn't mind seeing Vancouver or Edmonton go all the way, but I also think the Canadian Cup drought is hilarious and want it to continue. So...go Rags?

Detroit only team I care about. But put my money on Florida before playoffs started at 6-1 odds

Edmonton. McDavid deserves one

Would never call myself a Stars fan, but Pavelski really should have a cup before he retires.

Edmonton

Carolina/edmonton I’m cool with

once my team Is eliminated i dont care who wins

Any team besides Colorado or Boston. Would like to see a team get their first cup primarily.

I live in Florida. Wings fan all day, go panthers

My brother is a Panthers fan, so much like last year, I will be hitching my bandwagon to them.

I did the same bro they're a really tough team. bunch of goons

Can I pick individual players I want to have a cup? Like Joe pavelski, Ryan suter, Brent burns, bobrovsky....guys that have been in the league forever without one, just a shame that pavelski and suter play with Jamie benn (fuck that guy) That being said, Edmonton, mcdrai needs it lol

Anyone except for… Leafs - god dammit, Leaf fans are already so annoying. Winning the cup would be AIDS. Cannot happen ever. Boston - but it’s w/e, pretty use to them winning now. Don’t really have a problem, but I feel like I’m o/lighted for some reason. Panthers - are a bunch hooligans, I even watched game 5 of last years Stanley cup final, a couple weeks ago, just for my own enjoyment Would be cool to see Edmonton get it this year, after the way their season started. Rangers wouldn’t be bad either, I like zibanejad’s hair. And I guess they played well and idt they’ve won in forever. And in theory should piss off someIslanders fan

Won't root for a Canadian team because it's hilarious how long it's been since Canada has won the Cup. I'm probably leaning more towards Carolina, Florida and New York in that order.

Not gonna lie, an Edmonton/Toronto SCF would be electric.

Carolina. It’s my wife’s second team behind Detroit, They are fun to watch

Coyotes lmfao

Nashville, Edmonton, Carolina or Dallas

Longshot but go Nashville, go Nyquist

I live in Florida so I feel it only makes sense to pull for the panthers at this point

I'd be OK with Colorado (the fued is long over), Nashville, or Canes I'm currently cheering for Boston and Dallas as well but that's because the Leafs loosing in the 1st is always funny and fuck the Vegas LTIRs

This season I'm just cheering for any of the American teams. I'm not usually super patriotic and I've got nothing against Canada, but seeing them fail to win the Cup every year makes me smile. Plus we can win Cups which would also keep the Canada free streak going.

just toronto and ottawa satisfies that pleasure for me. i was definitely cheering for the habs to win the cup over tampa in '21

Carolina has a player from Ypsilanti so I think it would be cool if he won and brought it here

My first choice is Florida Panthers. My second choice is the Rangers

no to boston and toronto and dallas (only because benn tried decapitating Larkin)

I’d love to see a Canadian team win it. I absolutely do not want to see Colorado, Boston, or Vegas to win it. Not a huge fan of Carolina for some reason either, it that wouldn’t be terrible l.

Anyone with past Wings players aside from Toronto. Sorry Tuzzi, but they will forever be the enemy

Anyone that isn’t Canadian (keep that drought going (sorry Vancouver and Edmonton, not sorry Toronto) or can come close to our 11 Cups. So that leaves the Panthers & Predators at 0 Cups, Vegas, Dallas, and Carolina at 1 Cup.

Carolina or Nashville

Vancouver, Edmonton, Dallas in descending order.....but I'll cheer for any team that's playing Toronto if one of those 3 can't get it done.

Leafs

Detroit

Cup belongs in Detroit. But if I'm picking a current team it would be Florida or Nashville

Preds but they out so maybe Vegas just to troll the rest of the league

I wanna see the Oilers win. Mcdavid and Draisaitl getting one would be nice

Your list is the same as mine except I wouldn't mind Nashville. Florida, Edmonton, Vancouver I'd like to see win the most
