Which Hocky Team Should I Root For?

I am gonna lay out the facts for all you Jeff Reporters out there.  I like Hockey.  Always have.  After a statement like that there are two questions that come to mind: (1) if The Jeff Report likes hockey so much, why don’t you post more often about hockey…or at all? (2) What is your favorite hockey team?  These are very good questions, and I will give you a solid answer that covers both questions.  THERE IS NO HOCKEY TEAM IN KANSAS CITY.

It is really hard to follow a sport in which you don’t have a team to root for.  Besides the fact that you don’t have the one team you follow, you don’t have to follow any other teams because they represent no competition for you (i.e. nobody to root AGAINST, which is almost as important in sports as somebody to root for).  Furthermore, the NHL makes it near impossible to be a fan.  The NHL has a tv contract so bad they would probably switch with the Big XII and consider it an upgrade.  There is maybe one game a week on for the entire league and each team has less than 10 games televised each year.  For these reasons I have only been a lukewarm hockey fan in years past, but this is all about to change (with your help).

I am going to leave it up to all of you which team I follow religiously this hockey season and blog upon.  Hopefully, along the way I can drop in some interesting tidbits about hockey and strategy that everyone will find interesting.  Please do not take this decision lightly as I will be buying a hat for the chosen hockey team to show my support, so this decision could end up costing The Jeff Report nearly $30.  Tread lightly and make a good decision.  Without further ado, here are my 3 candidates:
