I don't like when people are talking about their favourite team, and they are saying, "...and then we took a ball downfield, kicked a field goal, and then we totally regained an onside kick". C'mon, that's kinda dumb. Calling a team 'your team' is all fine and good, but when you replace players with 'we', I dunno, isn't that kind of insulting to the players? It's not like you or anybody else kicked the field goal, except the kicker.
As for liking teams and hating others, I don't know, that's just kind of a fan thing. You usually like a team that lives close to you, but for people like me who don't live at all close to any pro teams (except for Calgary and Edmonton), you usually pick a team because of players you like. I really like Daniel Alfreddson, Marian Hossa, Radek Bonk and Patrick Lalime of the Ottawa Senators more than any other four players in the NHL, therefore the Sens are my favourite NHL team. My other favourite team is the Edmonton Oilers, but that goes more with the regional thing. I live almost exactly between Edmonton and Calgary, and I could go to one of their games any time I want, no hassle. That's one thing you just gotta choose, where I'm from you're either an Oilers or a Flames fan, there's no such thing as neutral, and you absolutely hate one team or the other. I chose Edmonton because Edmonton is a better city. A huge ass mall, better stadiums, yeah. Fuck you Calgary.
And fuck you New England, too.
