NHL playoffs 2013 thread!

[cfh11]

Personally, my Bruins hatred (despite being Boston born and huge fan of every other Boston team) runs deep so even though some might opt to support their favorite teams conference, I can't bring myself to root for the team from Boston so I'm throwing all my support behind Chicago.

wtf is that about? bruins in 6.

And I still maintain that the Hawks will take it. I also predict 6 games, but 5 wouldn't be too bad either.

wtf is that about? bruins in 6.

I've explained it several times over the years here including earlier in this thread:

I've mentioned this before in other threads - even though I root for every other New England team in every other major sport and was born in Boston, I can't stand the Bruins. My family moved to Connecticut early in my life and my father worked for Avco Financial, the company that sponsored the WHA championship trophy, the Avco Cup. Well, we also got discounted season tickets to the, at the time New England Whalers, more commonly known as the Hartford Whalers when they joined the NHL. I went to probably over 450 games in the Whalers years in Hartford before they broke my heart and departed to N. Carolina as the Hurricanes.

During those NHL years I built up an intense hatred for the Boston Bruins so when I finally decided to support the NHL after a few year boycott over the Whale leaving, I could not bring myself to support the Bruins as my local team. Fortunately the New York Rangers AHL team moved into the Hartford Civic Center as the Hartford Wolf Pack and slowly but surely after going to many Wolf Pack games I started following the Rangers as well.

Hockey is my one true love sport and my allegiances as well as my hatred runs extremely deep. I hate Peter Karmanos and I hate the Bruins - I don't hate the Hurricanes as players, but I do hate their ownership.

It really is that simple. I bleed Red Sox red and blue (wear my green St. Patrick's Red Sox hat on a daily basis), Patriot blue, red, and silver, and Celtic green, just not Bruins black and gold - it's just the way it is.
