I can't be the only one who finds it weird to be rooting FOR Dominic Moore now.

I'm with you, although maybe not feeling as strange. Just like I rooted for Yale and then Union, I can root for a former Harvard player.

Who is well-spoken, who represents what's left of amateur college sports, who lost his Harvard-grad wife to cancer at 32, and who probably cringes every time a story about them recalls the parallels to Love Story. Maybe the faithful can cut him a break.

No. No you're not. Moore and a Keebler elf.
Yep.  Definitely weird.

Dominic and Katie Moore's story was the subject of an ESPN E:60 story. Might want to have a tissue on hand.

I have to be a traitor to all the Rangers fans here and root for the Hometown Hero Dustin Brown and the rest of the LA Kings team.

I'm with carpy85...

Plus, the Kings don't have Dominic Moore.    Easy choice for me!!

Go Kings!!!

I rooted for the Kings a few years ago, because they were the 8-seed that was supposed to get crushed, and Cinderella stories are nice. Now they're just a team with a boring color scheme from a city that doesn't deserve to exist. Go Rangers-by-default!

I'm fully qualified to make that statement, having spent a whole three days there once at a conference. ;)

To all of the folks who can't seem to pull for the Rangers, which part of "David Leneveu will dress for the NYR" are you folks not understanding?::cheer::

I admit that this is preferable to a naked David LeNeveu.
