Hey Patty, what’s your favourite NHL team?

It’s a toss-up between Tampa Bay and Detroit, but I’d go Tampa Bay at the moment. My favourite player, Steven Stamkos, is there, I’ve been following him for a little bit and just a few of their other players too. But yeah Detroit, too, just because of their history and being an original six team.
