Am I supposed to state the reasons as I see them? Okay, here goes.

1. You like Chicago-style hot dogs.
2. You share many Americans' dislike of all things Californian.
3. You always root for the underdog, and in an epic wildlife battle between a hawk and a shark it seems likely the shark would win.

No, those aren't the reasons? How about these?

1. You're hoping for an "Original Six" Stanley Cup final.
2. There shouldn't be a hockey team in a place where hockey can't be played outdoors during an actual hockey season.
3. You think the Canadiens can beat the Blackhawks in the finals.

The only problem with #3 is that the Habs will not be in the finals.

Go BRUINS!!

Let's go with the second set of three. If Montreal wins tonight then they are going all the way and will finish the season with another Stanley Cup.

Montreal just beat Pittsburgh. Bring on Boston (provided that Boston can beat Philadelphia).

Now, this Bruins fan can only hope that playing in Boston, and it being a game 7 after the Bruins were up 3-0, assures a victory ... because the playing of the Bruins themselves does not instill great confidence.
