"I'm rooting for any team to beat Pittsburgh. It doesn't matter which one."
Grr argh. How can David Boreanaz be a Flyer's fan!? I've been a lifelong Penguins fan, and if the Flyers had beat the Pens, this would be my exact attitude. As a Penguins/Flyers fan it is impossible to not hate the other team.
This was a pretty boring series to watch though (I blame it on the Flyer's) and I hope the series against the Capitals is better.
I maintain that my favourite whedonesque articles are those that link to nhl.com :)
The two best things in the world mixed together.
That being said, I was rooting for the Pens over the Flyers. I'm an Oilers fan first and foremost, so I don't care MUCH about the playoffs this year, as long as Vancouver and Calgary don't win (weeoo go Hawks). I think I'm cheering for Washington to beat Pittsburgh though... Ovie's just so much more likeable than Crosby.
I feel David's pain, too. My Sharks get bounced in the first round despite the best record in the league. I want the Ducks to suffer, even if it is under the hands of Detroit.
I was at that game. It was so depressing, how do you lose when you're up 3-0?! It always makes me smile when I remember David is a Flyers fan, though. =)
Life long Wings fan here. From the standpoint of a NHL fan, I love the Pens/Caps series. Three of the biggest young stars in the game is going to be entertaining to watch. I just hope tonight the Wings are beating up the Ducks enough by 9:00 so I don't have to switch back and forth between the game and dollhouse.
If the 'nucks don't make the finals, my choice for a match-up would be Detroit/Boston, for a little of that old-timey feel. I can almost remember hockey back in the six-team-league days, though I was five when expansion happened. I do remember Bobby Orr doing his thing in the late sixties/early seventies. Still a little bummed that the man did not have knees.

I admit I don't care much for hockey (or basketball). Go Phillies!

I was standing in a Best Buy during Game 6, and everyone including the workers were just standing in the middle of the store watching the game. LOL.
