After 20+ years in Toronto, I still haven't managed to form any kind of allegience to the Maple Leafs, thank God. Canucks are still my team.

I don't follow the sport too closely, but I like it when the playoffs get rockin. The best hockey often comes in the first round of the playoffs, when you get the rivalries. Calgary v Edmonton used to have some great series in the 80s.

Best playoff run I ever saw? Edmonton a year or two after trading Gretzky, Messier was still with them. They were down 3-1 to Winnipeg in the first round, and playing like absolute shit. Then they somehow managed to find their old form and blew everyone away, not losing a single game the rest of the way.

Best Team I ever saw? Canadiens of the 70s, who one year went an entire season and only lost 8 games.
