I think I actually cared about, like, two of those. So I probably shouldn't have voted. Whatever.

Celtics (because avalanches are so... cool. and i don't really hate the celtics, per se, because their legacy pwns the bulls'.)
Maple Leafs (i'd rather go naked)
Bulls (that chic pic is not... censored ... fair. besides i actually do have a very strong dislike for the bulls.)
Knickerbockers
Mavs (more like "Mehs")
Penguins (not that i ever want to earn my red wings, so to speak)
Rangers (i don't even watch, follow, or feel inclined to care about hockey... what the hell am i doing.)
Lakers (yech. never gonna convert. no matter how long i'm out here.)

Is the Ginobili rogaine picture genuine, by the way? If so, I never knew about that, and it's awesome.

Voting done. Your results:
Boston Celtics
New Jersey Devils
Chicago Bulls
Detroit Pistons
Dallas Mavericks
Pittsburgh Penguins
New York Rangers
Los Angeles Lakers
Clearly I both overestimated the Red Wings hate and underestimated the Penguins hate.
At any rate, this bracket is definitely the most "meh" of the tourney, being the two lesser pro sports and all. Hope your blood hasn't simmered down yet--the college football bracket is coming up next.

the thing with the wings is, although they win a lot, they do run a very classy organization. they don't have any real dirty players, they treat their guys right, they don't misbehave off-ice, they don't whine (now that hasek's gone), they don't take cheap shots on-ice. they're really a model organization and they may be that rare winning team that inspires reluctant respect rather than hate.

supposedly the kiss cam in detroit had to be banned because the cameramen kept putting 2 hot chicks on the kiss cam and then keeping it on them until they kissed each other...and they got in trouble. or something. And the zamboni driver is a celebrity. or something. so yup, tahts all i know about hockey.

It has nothing on the rat, even if it inspired it.
I have a Red Wings jersey with 91 on the back, but the name on it says Kournikova. I can't wear it anymore, because the local Sharks fans just think I am a Wings fan.
Luckily, my Ron Mexico Falcons jersey still gets laughs.
