Excuse me, but some of us identify very strongly with the team and consider
it part of our 'family' so to speak. No, we may not be the players on the
ice or the coach, but we feel like we are right by their side through the
good (and bad!) times. So it's only natural that we'd use words like "we" or
"our" on occasion.
