I agree with all of those but three.

I'm picking Devils over Rangers, Canadiens over Lightning, and Coyotes over Blues.

I missed yesterday's game, but I would have went with Boston. I did hear there was some big injury during the game.

As a British person I support a tiny, insignificant, British club called the Swindon Wildcats. I'm never sure who to root for in the NHL, any suggestions?

Ok; actually, it depends. Is there a poorly performing team with really dedicated fans within the NHL?

Right now, that has to be the Buffalo Sabres.

Annually, though, it's probably the Toronto Maple Leafs. :P

Maybe try finding players you like watching and pick the team off of that. I still have a soft spot for the Pittsburgh Penguins because of Lemieux-Jagr, but one of the reasons why I really liked the Ducks (other than living in SoCal) was the Selanne-Kariya line.

In the summer, yes.

Mostly, though, the people that go to watch the Sabres lose nowadays cheer for the goals and get angry at the people who work for the stadium staff.

I was thinking about the Kings-Sabres game, and I was wondering, did Sutter err in not making it a 5 on 3 for the last 30 seconds? Scrivens vs Miller, it's fairly obvious who's going to win that shootout, and 5 on 3 would certainly make sense, (it was 4 on 4 OT, but Kings got a powerplay,) so, what do you guys think? What would you do in that situation?
