No, the police are probably already in your house I would just lay down face first on the ground with my hands behind my head fingers laced

100% yes – Panthers and Predators support here. Used to be a STH for the Panthers. Moved to ATL in 2006, supported Panthers and Thrashers then. Will always support my hometown team and my home team. Since the Thrashers left, I threw my support behind Panthers and Predators since they are the closest NHL team to me now and I’m in Nashville a lot since I have family there. It works well to have one in the east and one in the west.
People like what they like, don’t let anyone tell you how to be a fan.
Adamgrim
Sure it is, as long as one of the teams is not philly:)
riesrat
Yup. Jets and Ducks fan.
Melody412
I got a team in the west and east that I like. Habs because born in Montreal. Even if I only lived their a few years. And Vegas because I love that city

I’ve heard it described thusly:
You need a husband.
But can have a have a boyfriend.
And maybe a side piece.
But anymore than that and well, the 60’s are gone, free love is passed.
Calgarybruin
Bruins fan from Nova Scotia, lived in Calgary for 20 years and support them as well. Bruins are in the east so I don’t really see a problem with it. When the play against each other I always go with the Bruins.

Speaking for alot of people here, cheer for whoever you want, it doesn’t hurt anymore… anyone saying that its not allowed is a weird freak and shouldn’t have an opinion haha.
FakeTreverMoore12
I’ve loved the Kings my entire life, but I support any team not named the Ducks also.
rambored89
I support Detroit, St Louis, Minnesota, Pittsburgh… Fuck it. There’s no rules about what people can and can’t like
popculturetommy
Yes. My main team is an always will be Anaheim. But I love the Coyotes too because of my grandparents moving there in 1996 and it being like a second home to me. I also support Calgary because their my wife’s favorite.
_MJRY_
You can be a fan any way you want to! We’re all here because we like the sport.
zajde1jc
Hell yeah
Mangoes95
As long as the teams aren’t rivals, sure. I wouldn’t be caught dead supporting the Leafs or the Bruins lol
sprCanada
I’ll always support my Alberta teams
zhaozhenghaozhonguo
Hockey’s tough to do this with cause most teams worth a shit as another team to support are in the eastern conference. I suppose it would be easier to do this if your primary team is in the western conference. Blackhawks used to be mine because of the Sabres being shit and Kane being a buffalo kid, but uh, that kinda ended lol.
AdamJr87
Avs until I die, but have a friend in the League so I’ll always root for his team too
gohomebrentyourdrunk
Don’t let anybody tell you what you should or shouldn’t enjoy.
…unless it’s against the law…
Common-Rock
Yep, it’s fine. The Canucks are “my team”, but I’m taking a break from buying merch and stuff from them now because of the Aquilinis. I don’t feel good spending money on the team right now, but I’ve been enjoying watching the Kraken!
RR_Eyes
Given the blackout rules, it’s practically encouraged. Make sure to pick a team in a different time zone though so 70% of the games for both teams don’t completely overlap
WintersTrial
I’m a red wings fan till the end but im so close to anaheim that I support the ducks because I can go see their games and I got invested in seeing them attempt to pull themselves out of the current pit they are in. So I think you can have multiple teams to support.
jdwazzu61
I’m a lifelong pens fan and kraken season ticket holder. I support the kraken 80 games a year and Pittsburgh 82

Whose permission do you need?
Gosh2Bosh
I have an East and West team and I appreciate other teams.
Do you.
emeraldraf
Yes it is. Hell I support 5 because various people I know support a different team and I like to talk to them about it and became a fan through them.
As long as it’s not like you’re most bitter rival (don’t support the pens as a flyers fan, don’t root for the kings as a sharks fan) I don’t see the issue.
If anything its probably the best thing to do. It opens up eyes to other teams and the way they play and you find more enjoyment in the game. Or at least I did.
UrsusAlakar
Yeah man, have an east coast and a west coast team. I’m Canadian but I love the Bruins as my primary , then have family out west so when the B’s aren’t on the Jets are my Canadian / West coast team.
HornetHurricane
Yes
KYHmetronome
Leafs fan here, maybe it’s not a popular way to go about it but I cheer the team on that beat me. May the best team win
Bladerunner9mm
Life is short man, cheer for whoever you want.

All of sports are nothing more than entertainment. Do what ever you want to get the most entertainment out of it.
Spade18
Yes! I’m a devils fan but then I also have a team I’m rooting for this year. In years past it’s been San Jose, St. Louis, Dallas, but this year it’s Ottawa. This way I have another team to watch when the devs aren’t playing, and I get to learn about a different franchise every year. Become a more rounded hockey fan lol
blkhks
Definitely!
shlem13
You have your team. Your love.
You can have other teams that you like, but you have to be able to turn on them when it comes to the best interests of your love.
And division rivals always get the worst wishes.
truemt1
I cheer for about a quarter of the league. Don’t see anything wrong with it. They all sell the same product, so if another team has branding you enjoy, go for it. Just because I bought some Adidas shoes doesn’t mean I can never wear Nike.
Tricky-Mick
Hell yeah, at the end of the day we are all hockey fans!
Triceraflops8
Its always ok to be a fan of the game. Whether that consists of having no favorites, one, or multiple. This goes for all sports.
oknumber9042
Yes, all is okay in the love for the game
msolb
Do whatever makes you happy. There is no right or wrong answer to this.
fluffHead_0919
I’m a Avs fan, but I do tend to follow the Islanders. Family is originally from NY, so I’ll watch Islanders as the early contest and then soak in the Avs. However I would not consider myself a supporter. Just an observer if you will.
IamLiterallyAHuman
It doesn’t matter, people may look down on you, but you absolutely can enjoy hockey the way you want to.
I personally support the Avs and Leafs both. It helps they’re in different conferences so they won’t ever meet in the playoffs unless it’s the SCF.
RSlashLazy
Yeah, cheer for who you want. My 2 favourite teams are Montreal and Arizona.

That’s the beauty of being a foreign nhl fan: you can😜
supermav27
I’m a Penguins fan for life but I live in Los Angeles so I’ll root for the Kings and celebrate goals when I go to games but I won’t ever sport their merch or identify as a fan outside of the arena.
ripcity7077
My favorite team is the devils
My second favorite team is whoever is facing the Rangers
Grant_Mastodon
I hope so, or I’ve been doing it wrong for 50 years 🙁
Rchap88
Yea. East and west teams. Gotta have 2. Plus I need a reason to watch playoffs after the first round
spraycheesedefender
My favorite team will always be the Bruins, but I also like the Avs and Ducks. I also follow the Devils somewhat bc I have a friend who likes them and I like to discuss their games with her 🙂

Personally I’ve tried and can’t. Avs till I die
