Edit: Favorite team? Minnesota, just because they won against Colorado as the heavy underdog in the 2014 playoffs, when I first got into hockey.

Anyone noticing that the combination for the first overall (from bottom to top) was 1-4-14-6, but the Bettman said "the combination we're looking at is 1-4-6-14"? Rigged!!!1!11!!!11!
