In general, I hardly ever root against other teams... it's not a high road stance or anything, it's just not why I watch sports. The only exception is if it benefits a team I root for, like when the Chiefs needed the 49ers to beat the Broncos to get into the playoffs.
But, oddly enough, I enjoy watching the Red Wings and Canucks lose far more than any other team in any other sport... I'm not a "root for your conference" kind of person (even though it would be cool to watch ISU or KSU win 2 games this weekend), but I'm not going to go out of my way to watch them fail.
