Hey, Ducks Fans.

Not to piss anybody off, but now that your team is out, how many of you guys are going to cheer for the Oilers? :help:

No.

Im not going to cheer for anyone, Im just going to watch.

I gonna watch baseball and wait for the off season of hockey to start so we can see what moves the Ducks will make.

Blah Oilers....... :cry:

^ That guy should be deported.

I don't dislike any of the teams left. But my family does have some Buffalo ties, so I gotta go with them first. All I'm really hoping for is some great hockey, though, maybe a couple OT games.

Both eastern teams play very absorbing games. I don't know if the Oilers will oblige.

This is the first time in a while where I actually don't dislike either Cup final team. That said, I'm rooting for Carolina, but if they don't make it, I will probably cheer for Edmonton.

Not the Oilers.

Family ties to North Carolina, and a former colleague in Buffalo...so I'll go with the winner from the East. Plus I don't really like the Oil.

I would cheer for the 8 seed but...

Oil already won a cup, so that counts against them.

I don't know why you care, but I'm rooting for Carolina in the east and if they make the final. No sour grapes, just like them better than the other two teams left.

I respect the hell out of the Oilers and they deserve their spot in the finals but it's too painful to root for the Oilers. Plus I like to root for teams that have never one it and I really like the way both teams in the East play. I can totally root for Carolina because of Gerbs and Cullen, big time. No hard feelings Oilers, you guys have been gracious opponents but you guys have all of Canada (minus those in Calgary) rooting for you.

Oh and I grew up a Kings fan and there was a time when I LOATHED the Oilers. All I can say is thank God Craig Muni still doesn't play, oh how I hated that man.

I'm with Carolina now...most exciting team left in the playoffs, I'd like to see them win.

Eric Staal :yo:

I have 20 on Buffalo... Go Buffalo!! :yo:

I had double or nothing on the Ducks and lost.. would've been another 20.. would've gave that up + more for a series win..

Don't know about the SCF's yet.. Kinda would like to see it come back to the West but I don't know that I can root for the Oilers.

I'll decide when the SCF starts..

I will be rooting for the Oiler they play a physical tough game that i wish every team played. Buffalo is my second choice but theres no way im rooting for the Canes. They remind me of Detroit

I will root for Buffalo. If they do not make it, I will root for the Oilers.

Buffalo got hosed a few years back.

I know that I should support the west and that Canada deserves a winner, but I didn't really like the fans at the Pond that much - there were a few knuckleheads in 206 causing a bunch of problems. That sort of ruins it for me.

I may change my mind later.

I had my darkhorse avatar in within an hour after the Ducks were eliminated. Maybe I didn't do it on this board, but since Edmonton beat out San Jose, I made it clear I couldn't be happier with either Western team winning the cup(far and away my two favorite in the NHL). Now, I just can't wait for tomorrow and wear my Oil hat while all the Flyers and Leafs fans who started rooting for the Oilers call me a bandwagoner. I guess that might make me a bandwagoner, but, at least I jumped on the bandwagon alot later than they did.

47 votes means WAY more than Duck fans are voting here.

Are you suggesting posters like Oilerfan#1 and Flamekiller aren't Duck fans?!

It's pretty lame if you feel you have to go on another teams board and boost your teams vote on who they are rooting for.

As long as those wimpy Canes don't win the cup I'm happy.

Wow, the results are closer than I thought. Who knew some of us would cheer for Edmonton? It hurts too much to cheer for them :cry:.

wimpy? who you calling wimpy? Matt Cullen is a Beast! ;)

Wow, the results are closer than I thought. Who knew some of us would cheer for Edmonton? It hurts too much to cheer for them :cry:.

It's mostly just guys from the Edmonton board who feel the need to boost their end of this poll. :shakehead

I'm not rooting for anyone, Season's over as far as I'm concerned. I will be watching it, but only to see a good game, nothing more.

out of the people who are rooting for EDM, 2 are legitimate dux fans. hmmm...

Eastern Conference team, easily. No offense to you Oiler fans, most of you have been pretty decent throughout, but I can't stand Peca, Pronger or Roloson, whose demeanor is more suited to a YMCA girl's league. Plus, aesthetically speaking, both of those two teams are a hell of a lot more exciting.

Eastern Conference team. For the wrong reason overall, and some OK reasons otherwise. The wrong reason, I am a die hard hockey guy living in OC with season tickets and got tired of reading/hearing that I am a non-hockey fan moron who doesn't support his team like "we do in Edmonton" and all this "city of champions" stuff. Last time I checked, there have been no championships since #11 left town. In fact, there have been a lot more playoff-less years than playoff years up there.

I can't help thinking that is would be a kick to see the cup in another "clearly inferior" hockey city like Raleigh. I doubt anything in Raleigh will be burned down if they win.



I also love to watch Eric Staal, who is a tremendous young talent.

I admire the skating ability of the Oilers, especially the young players. I am not a big fan of Michael Peca or Dwayne Roloson. The former has injured players with cheap hits too many times, and the latter spends far too much time diving and whining to the refs.

I am mostly pulling for a long series with a few overtime games. Good luck to both conference winners.

71 votes, there must be a lot of Ducks fans hiding around not posting.

Guess what? I am changing my mind.

Under no circumstances do I want Edmonton to win. I have been a Duck fan since day one and have encountered endless fans from other cities. It is one thing to support your team, it is another to be a jerk.

For some reason, Edmonton fans have come out of the woodwork to ridicule the Ducks even after the series ended. I get emails from them through ebay, for instance, and they are just being rude.

I know that they do not represent every fan, but nobody has come out to say anything positive.

GO BUFFALINA!

I hope Carolina wins it all. They have been an awesome team all year long. And I don't believe Matt Cullen has a chance to engrave his name on the Stanley Cup.

GO CANES!! :handclap:

Still plenty of time for Oiler fans to rig the poll and win the poll for the Oilers!

Lets hope Carolina anhilates Edmonton :).

Going for the Hurricanes, I hope they smoke the Oilers and then some

Plus Im cheering for Matt Cullen

wimpy? who you calling wimpy? Matt Cullen is a Beast! ;)
he's more than a beast.... he's a robot... surprising that he's still playing, his knees are a mess.

This poll is a lie.

Carolina looks real nervous in the first period of game 1. They are struggling against Edmonton's aggressiveness and trap.

Carolina is making a mess...

A little OT, but I can't stand Davidson during this game. I sure hope he's not calling the entire final.

Carolina looks nervous and jittery.

Hopefully they can get their legs back. :)

Carolina is doing something the Ducks lacked most of our series: producing and coming back.

Did you see that save by Ward? Oh man, that was AMAZING.

This Carolina team is a monster, can't give them any kind of momentum or that will happen.

Edmonton may be finished with Roloson.

Great comeback by the Canes. They sure are exciting when they are on their game.

Cam Ward stole them the game. What an awesome performance...Giguerest in nature.

Donde esta Rolie the goalie? Ah...thanks to Bergeron for knocking him out of the game.

Yeah, Bergeron destroyed Ladd, but he also destroyed his goalie and maybe his teams chances of winning the series.

I thought for sure Roloson was faking it again. It looks like this time he actually was hurt - by his own teammate. Hopefully he is back next game I want the Oilers to lose but with Roloson in the net.

I really feel for Conklin. I've done that mistake before that cost my team a championship, so I can imagine what he's going through in his mind.

:bow: Ward.

Roloson only acts in California. He's trying to impress the Hollywood producers.

Good triumphs over evil. F Roloson.

MacTavish just said Roloson won't be back for the series.

MacTavish just said Roloson won't be back for the series.

Definate bad news for the Oilers if that's true. This being the playoffs though, I wouldn't fully believe that until it actually happens.

MacTavish just said Roloson won't be back for the series.
Tee hee. F MacTavish.

MacTavish just said Roloson won't be back for the series.

I noticed in the first period the ref was giving it to Roloson when he was whining for a goaltending interference penalty again, no doubt though he was not nearly as sharp tonite as he was against us.

Jussi Markenen isnt bad, I am sure he will play game 2.


At least now Oiler fans know how we feel, the Oilers outplayed the Canes tonite yet lost because Carolina had superior goaltending.

Go Canes! :handclap:

I thought for sure Roloson was faking it again. It looks like this time he actually was hurt - by his own teammate. Hopefully he is back next game I want the Oilers to lose but with Roloson in the net.

I also thought for sure that he was faking it. I felt real bad after I saw him leave, and even worse when I just heard that he's done for the series. I just wish this could've happened last round, though.

I just read some of the Oilers threads. Boy, are they ticked.

:handclap: :yo: :biglaugh: :nopity:

I felt great. I'm still pretty high about it.

I also want Roloson back in net just to see him lose his chance to touch the Stanley Cup.

Carolina was a monster tonight, it made me wonder how the Ducks WOULD have done against them.

Me and the friends I was watching with all thought he was faking, even the Oilers fan. But as soon as I saw the replay, I knew it was the real deal.

Lost in all this Roloson talk is how great Cam Ward played. This kid is the real deal. He held things together when the Canes weren't playing too well. As I mentioned before, the vets on the Canes really stepped up in the third. Brindamour, Whitney, Weight, and Wesley were all fantastic.

Whitney, Weight and Wesley are a bunch of epic losers, too. Good on them for not blowing it so far.

Ok, I'll admit it. Normally I don't like anyone not named Avery being carried away injured from the ice but after Roloson's diving & flopping I thought the Karma had finally bitten him in the ***.

I didn't feel bad at all, I almost felt like he had it coming after mocking the hockey gods for so long.

Well, I hope Edmonton enjoyed losing the same way they beat the Ducks. (minus the goalie hurt thing) I'm refering to the other goalie playing great and then a cheap goal beating them.

I don't know if it was a "cheap" goal, the goalie and defenseman both made a mistake and Rob capitalized on it, so it was more like a Edmton-should-have-seen-that-one-coming kind of goal. Good goal.

Fine, I'll call it an "unlikely or lucky or oppurtunistic" goal. Just like Torres crazy deflection or Hemsky's out of the air rebound.

Martin Brodeur predicted Edmonton to win. Now they are really bound to lose...

A mne vapse pohui kto võigrait like russians say ... soccer world cup is starting and let them two skate, not importand to me who will win.

true :) SWITZERLAND FOR CUP :handclap:

We should change this poll to "who do you think will win the World Cup" it'd make way more interesting. Go France!!

Everyone knows it'll be Ghana.
It will be Germany.

Man, is anyone else a little bit more pissed off that Edmonton somehow beat us? I think the Ducks are much better than the Edmonton team losing to Carolina 5-0 right now...It kills me to watch this and know that we were and would be better.

Edmonton earned their way in, the Ducks didn't. How Anaheim would have done against Carolina is as meaningless as a Sharks fan saying they would have beaten the Ducks, too, if only they hadn't lost in the previous round.

Agreed. We can say "what if, we should have, etc" but the bottom line is edmonton wanted it more then us. I agree with Static, I think we are a much better team, but it doesn't matter now. I think the Ducks were to rusty from sweeping the Avs, and that hurt us the most, but all we can do is wait tell next year.

I understand it is meaningless...but it irks me watching this performance that Anaheim could have been there.

Don't worry bud, you're not alone. It chaps my a$$ also.

At least we would have lost with some class though...Edmonton and its fans are quickley becoming the least classiest Ive seen in some time.

I gave Edmonton credit last round for not being a goon team like Calgary when they lose, I take that back after watching Moreau, Laraque, and Torres tonight.

At least we would have lost with some class though...Edmonton and its fans are quickley becoming the least classiest Ive seen in some time.

I just wish the Oilers would have lost this series with that whining piece of garbage Roloson in the net. :p:

I didn't like how that last period played out. "Setting the mood" for the next game I guess. :shakehead

Laroque is suspended for the next game. not sure whether that is good news or bad news for the Canes. :p:

Absolutely. Edmonton and its fans are now the least classy team and fans. I have experienced a lot of it first hand. It is too bad.

Duck fans rule. :)

Now it's back to Edmonton and the greatest, most knowledgeable sports fans in the history of mankind. :sarcasm:

I am still choked the Ducks played the way they did against Edmonton. Not only we didn't play our best hockey, but we barely showed any desire compared to Edmonton. I just can't wait for next season and see what the rookies can bring to this team. In addition, hockey and basketball are dead to me for now, until then we have one beautiful month of pure world-class soccer.

Now it's back to Edmonton and the greatest, most knowledgeable sports fans in the history of mankind. :sarcasm:
Loud, too. No, I mean REALLY loud.

Where have all Edmonton's miracle goals gone? They must've used them all up against the Ducks. Down 3-1 to the Canes, they just can't get it done.

I love Carolina (after the Ducks of course).

Congratulations to Matt Cullen. He had a hell of a game tonight.

I'm happy for Gerber. Okay, he had a rather weak playoffs, but he was a major reason Carolina got to the playoffs. Kudos to Cullen too.

Go Canes! I would've rooted for the Oilers since they're such a hard-working team, but the Oiler fans that I've seen talk way too much trash. I respect players like Pronger and Hemsky, but cannot stand Laraque. He's nothing but a goon. Anybody else see him in Game 3 after his fight in the 3rd period? He was clearly writing the Ducks off. I'm glad it came back to bite him in the @$$.

Listening to Oiler fans you'd think that they invented the game of hockey. Heaven forbid some evil American team wins the glorious Stanley Cup!

Way to go Canes - they had a great season and earned the championship with their elite play all year round/ :handclap:

So what happened to the 41 Duck fans that were rooting for the Oilers. :sarcasm: :biglaugh:

The only Duck fan that rooted for the Oilers was BBG. :biglaugh: :dunno:

I didn't really care that much either way, I just wanted a great series. And that's what we got.

I had more posts erased and more warnings/alerts this playoffs than I did in 03. Twas a good year for me.

LOL Chock.

I was rooting for the Canes to win because I hate all those people who rip on the non-traditional markets. Just gives more grief to those people and I like it. Outstanding final except for the two blowouts. Five incredibly close games and I was on the edge of my seat for the conclusions of those. Hats off to both teams, one team had to win and the Canes deserved it.

Wow, 100 votes. Good to see there's so many Ducks fans. :D
