I've only started watching hockey the past couple years and have chosen the Rangers to root for. I'm in Connecticut and bring my two young boys to see the Connecticut Whale - an affiliate of the Rangers, so picking the team was easy. And I am anti-Boston in all sports as most of my family and friends are Boston fans so its fun to have some rivalries.
Anyway, playoff hockey is intense. Its fun to watch. Boston lucked out in the first round, played dominant hockey in the 2nd and 3rd rounds vs NYR and Pitt, and then were crowned champs (by many, not all, local fans and media) after their game 1 win vs Chicago in the finals. Chicago had a hard time scoring in the first 3 or 4 games but they remained physical and seemed to be faster than Boston. I don't know many of the names or understand all the penalties and rules nor the strategies, but I'll continue to watch playoff hockey no matter who is in it cuz its pretty intense.
