there is one i like better, the flames. if the flames and pens met in the finals, i'd cheer for the flames. i just wouldn't be as devastated if they lost as i would against any other team. the thing is, they play each other so little that they are almost in different leagues. crosby is my favourite player though, just as mario was back in the day. but the flames and pens are the only teams i really care about watching. if both are eliminated from the playoffs i usually stop watching. unless there's nothing else on. and then it still depends on the teams. i will watch the occasional vancouver playoff game (including a few in 94), but i'm not sure if i could handle the fans if they actually won the cup. :>
