I'm going with the Bruins.  If I had to "rank" my allegiances, I'd have the Sox over the Bruins, but I've seen two Sox titles, and none for the Bruins.  In other words, they're due, and I'm pulling for them to get over the hump soon.

Also, playoff hockey is just an amazing sports experience, and to be able to witness a Stanley Cup finals game in Boston would be insane.  It's been 20 years since the Bruins made it that far, to the point where the memory has faded. 

After that, I'm pulling for the Sox, and actively rooting against the Pats (since I'm a Bears fan. ;))

Probably Bruins right now.

The only franchise of the Big Four sports that I haven't seen win a world championship in my lifetime.

Can there be an all of the above category.  To me I actually equally want a championship from any team in the Boston area.  None more than another... Just a championship.

How'd you become a Bears fan if your a fan of all the other New England teams?

Plus, Bruin fans are by far the most die-hard of the 4 Boston sports teams.

It'd be great to see things finally pay off for them.  My old Somerville roommate and one of my BC buddies are B's season ticket holders and the pride they take in that team is pretty enviable.  It'd be nice to have them celebrate a Stanley Cup title.

I inherited a dislike for the Pats from my father (he likes the Dolphins), and the first Super Bowl I took an interest in was the 1985 season.  The Bears were so dominant that it impressed my young, developing mind, and I've been a Bears fan ever since.

  • Yup
I feel the same way as Roy (except for the Bears part).  I still have my "Berry the Bears" pin and a Super Bowl XX chalice  ;D

Man that game was ugly.

I love playoff hockey and have rooted passionately for many an excellent Bruins team who fell short. 
Yup

I don't know how you quantify die hard-edness, and I'm sure the B's have great fans, but to say they are more die hard than the other teams I think is incorrect.... I mean, just look at all the people who post on here throughout the day, everyday

My dad (a huge Bruins fan) will kill me, but I voted for the Pats.  I just really want to stick it to all the Patriots/BB/Brady haters out there...

It was a hard call between Pats and Sox, but I chose Pats.

I have a love hatred relationship with the Sox because the team has had so much soap opera drama over the past 2 decades. The messes surrounding Clemens, Vaughn and Nomar (from player and management) left a very bitter taste. Then there was Manny who could be loved and hated from day to day. And so on...

However I do enjoy playoffs baseball a great deal and am so glad to have seen them win in my lifetime.  

When it comes to the Bruins, it would be cool for them to win for all the Bruin fans. Personally, I just don't have time for Hockey as their season clashes with the Celtics.
