[QUOTE="bavelb, post: 74492, member: 358"] Being Dutch, I'm much in the same pickle. And I picked my first favourite team in much the same way: through NHL. Jagr and Lemieux were the kings of the ice at the time. I always loved Hockey but only got to enjoy it through either the NHL games or live during the Olympics. That however changed when I got older, and I figured I "should" pick a proper canadian team (I hadquite a few online canadian friends, plus: always root for the underdog!). Once I got to know my wife (she's canadian) I picked Vancouver (she lived in the Okanagan valley) as my team..I can't remember if that was before or after I visited the city. Pretty sure it was before... Anyway I became a fan (for much the same reason as Biff: to follow a league you have to pick a team to support so you get to give a damn) was just after they acquired Luongo and before Kesler and Burrows had their breakout year and the Canucks as a whole were on the rise of becoming one of the better teams (and came sooooo damn close to the Stanley Cup last year) and I was in bed in the middle of the night listening to internet-radio broadcasts (I also had ESPN America untill last year..it was a cheap package untill 18 months ago, so I got to wach HNIC). The olympic final was one of my highlights in sport of the last decade partly due to the very strong Vancouver connection. Didnt have much time to follow the league this year around. I basically started to pay attention during playoff time....and well ...suffice to say I didnt need to pay attention long... Killer whales **** up sharks any day of the week! [/QUOTE]
