re: I'm considering getting into hockey, help me pick a team

Another thing I was thinking about this morning..
I'm really leaning towards Colorado, but haven't made my decision "final" yet. I want to watch them and StL and get a feel for which one I enjoy watching most. However, it occurred to me that since both teams are in the playoffs there's a chance one could end up winning it all. What if I pick Colorado for instance, and they go on to win the cup? That would suck, as it would directly violate one of the biggest things that I am vehemently against. Quite the conundrum.

Quite possible. And after StL made the trade for Ryan Miller at the end of Feb, many considered them to be the favorites to win the Cup this season. Late season injuries to seemingly half their active roster caused them to go on a big losing streak the last 2-3 week of the season, so many people jumped off the idea of them winning it all. But, quite possibly, the two teams in your lead (Avs & StL) are still the favorites to win the West (although I still think its Chicago) and ultimately the Cup since most view the West as a lot stronger than the East.
Which brings me back to my original suggestion: THE STARS!!!

Eh, this early into the playoffs your odds of that happening aren't too bad. The Avs flat out sucked last year, and had been mediocre for years. I don't know if their resurgence this year makes it more or less bandwagon-y. Just depends on how you look at it, I guess!

Yeah... I didn't want to say anything earlier, but it looks like the whole premise of this thread is to do exactly what you claim you hate the most. If you wanted to truly avoid "bandwagoning," you'd probably have to pick a team outside the playoffs, which wouldn't be easy to do since half the damn league goes to the playoffs.
Or you could pick the team that loses first: the Blues or the Avalanche.
(Hopefully it's the Avalanche)

Just go with the Panthers since you already like the Dolphins.
