I was born and raised in Wisconsin but was always raised a Blues fan because my Dad was born and grew up in St. Louis before moving to WI. And now that I've move to the STL area, it's sweet to be able to root for my home team from home! They will always be my first love in the NHL, but I've kind of adopted the Wild as my second favorite team because I've always had a friendly reception to that state. Except for the stupid Vikings, but this is not the place for that.
And oddly enough, I'm a big AHL Milwaukee fan, but never really could support the Peoria team despite their affiliation with St. Louis.
