Poll: Stars Fans Pick the Finals Winner

In our last poll, 36% of people picked it right: Chicago and Philadelphia. I must admit I got only half of the equation right, myself, but was positively delighted to be so very wrong about San Jose.

These polls often become skewed one way or the other by a community because of a) poor phrasing of the question by the poll taker, b) voting with hearts instead of heads, c) A bias that is deeply rooted in the community, or d) all of the above.

This time we want to poll you a little differently with a bit of a two part question:

1. Who do you personally WANT to see win the Finals?

2. Who do you PREDICT/THINK with your logical, smart brain will do so?

Interesting

It’s 2-1, Stars fans rooting for Chicago.

I guess they really haven’t pissed us off as a group yet

Well, look at who they're playing.

I think collectively around the league there’s more hatred for Philly right now.

Like you said, everyone has a ‘pat them on the head, wish them luck’ mentality for Chicago. They’re just so cute!
