International (Finland/Suomi) fans: how do you know what NHL team to cheer for?

I like international Olympic hockey more because it's cleaner, a bit slower, and much easier to tell what's going on. But I don't know how to turn my love for my heritage into a love for a nhl team. I like Barkov and really enjoyed watching him play in the US vs Finland game the other day, but I don't really like how rough and cluttered the Panthers play. I know it's good defense but good hockey defense makes the game literally hard to follow.

I know I like the Stars, but it's like I want to like the Avalanche and other teams as well (Hurricanes, Predators, etc) This works on the NBA but in the NHL it feels like I'm supposed to have a single team.

I was just curious what the international fans on here do when it comes to NHL. Thanks for the help and hail Selanne lol

Proof that hockey causes major head injuries. WTF Wayne?!

This was posted in the Old Celebrity Recipes sub. Most of the time it's a lot of Jell-O monstrosities and crazy diets a la Joan Crawford, but this made my scrolling come to a screeching halt.

If you had to choose a team to root for based on your favourite colour, which team would you choose?

I’ll go first

I’m a Habs fan

If I had to choose based on my favourite colour, it’d be the Flyers because orange is my favourite colour, and burnt orange is my favourite shade of orange

Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour today on Habs PP1:

“They got dynamic players. All five of those guys in their own right are elite at what they do (Suzuki, Caufield, Slafkovsky, Demidov & Hutson). You put them together in those roles and I think they feed off each other really well…”
