Sorry, but it’s exactly the same thing. You base your rooting on some association you choose to make. Especially the pro teams where there isn’t connection other than location.

it’s all a racket or none of it is.

You are aggressively missing my point.

If you have a real point, apparently so. Rooting is rooting, whether it’s team USA, your hometown pro hockey team, or some minor team from a school you like. Homers are everywhere. Why you draw the line at team USA is quite arbitrary.

Especially when Team USA T&F makes an order of magnitude or two less than the NFL team you have decided to root for.

No, the point is, this was never about rooting. Get wound up and keep spinning, but the entire conservation was about something else. It's honestly not that difficult -- you got spun up about something that wasn't the topic.
 
Sharks trading Timo Meier to New Jersey for the friends they made along the way. No, seriously, it's been like an hour and a half with no info on the return.

Seeing the names now it makes sense why it took so long to release. Spell check doesn’t work on names like those.
 
Because travel to the east was/is easier. And almost 3/4 of their games now start at or before 8 ET.

That's right, so FSD would print mone....oh...

But seriosuly, man the east is just getting tougher. We're going to need to wait another 5 years until these teams age out.
 
I'd have loved Detroit in the East, who would have been kicked West?

Columbus, since they are, you know, west of Detroit. But it would’ve taken away at the time what was a big draw and powerhouse for the Western teams to see multiple times (especially since for many years Wings fans would outdraw home fans on the road some places) and left Chicago as the only Original 6 over there. Of course that ended up happening anyway.
 
The Bruins sure did get active. Trading for Tyler Burtuzzi, Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway. Taylor Hall immediately gets hurt and goes on LTIR to help the cap space issue (this seems legit, he's seeking a second opinion, hopefully he's ok and can return by the playoffs). This is one incredibly stacked team.
