They have been on the verge of becoming a playoff contender the past few seasons but havent quite gotten it all together yet)NhlFirst team- new york rangerssecond team- as a 90s kid i loved the mighty ducks movies and the first one inspired me to start playing hockey and ive been playing since. But since the identity change i have lost that soft spot i had for them. I really like the new third jersey though. Im hoping that D becomes the primary mark.

no97 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I don't really "cheer" for two teams in any sport that play on any semblance of a regular basis (except college). Examples are the Cubs and Twins. I grew up outside Chicago, and am a huge Cubs fan. I now live in Minnesota, so follow the Twins. I, however, wouldn't consider myself a big fan of the Twins.NCAA sports are an exception. I went to school at Northern Michigan University, which has D-I hockey, and now live in Bemidji, where Bemidji State Univversity (also D-I in hockey) is located. They had never played each other, however, until last year, with BSU winning one and the teams tieing the other game. That was in Marquette, MI, and I wasn't able to go to the games. Now, this weekend, NMU will be in town to play BSU. While I certainly have a huge connection to my alma mater, I wen t school there 14 years ago, and haven't lived in Michigan since that time. Meanwhile, I've lived in Bemidji for 11 years, and have followed BSU hockey (covering it for a radio show I do) quite closely. It certainly puts me in a tough spot...

Cartabago Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 MLB: Red Sox (Merely respected them for years until El Guapo made an appearance and it's been love ever since)Second team- Rockies NFL: CowboysSecond team- BroncosNHL: FlamesSecond team- PenguinsThird team- BruinsNBA: CelticsSecond team- Bucks (I've never understood my love of them, but I think the Irish Rainbow unis from my childhood played a big part in it)My family's from the northeast and I dated a girl from Colorado, so that sort of explains how I got interested in these teams.

Kevin W. Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 In the NFL and MLB, I have two teams (Bears/Chargers and White Sox/Padres) but don't consider either of them first or second. I support them equally. In the NHL and NBA, that's not an issue since San Diego doesn't have teams for either.As for college sports, my #1 is Arizona and #2 is Florida State. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctk Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 in the sprit of the opening post, i have to say that my second teams (the only leagues where i have a second team) in the mlb and nhl have changed.in the nhl it was pittsburgh but now i'm kinda digging the philly fliers. i used to like the pens as my first team, but then 1996 and game 6 of the western conference finals happened where kris draper's face got an improvement and i have been a big avs fan since then (i still hate detroit. mostly because its detroit. partly because of their cccp uniforms). why dump on the pens? two words- sidney crosby. i don't see it possible to want the pens to do well but its face of the franchise fail miserably every time he hits the ice.in baseball it was the o's but now its kinda the cleveland indians. partially because my dad is an indians fan, and back in 2008 it didn't hurt when the tribe signed kerry wood and traded for mark derosa that year. i mainly fell off the o's when they started doing worse after they got that playoff game stolen from them by the yankees in 97,98 whenever it was. also surprising it is not really baltimore anymore even though it seems to me that they are a constant cubs trading partner. its funny that i would have an al team as a second because i hate the american league and the designated hitter.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
