I generally root against Canadien teams. (Itโs fun that Canada loves hockey,and hasnโt won a cup in awhile.) But because of our dickhead presidentโs treatment of Canada recently, Iโm actually hoping they win it. This will be a one time thing.
My priorities for whom I'm rooting for are:
1. My Team
2. Original six
3. Any Canadian team left 4. Any team playing against a southern team
Go Oilers. Dig the eff in!
Me as well, but the problem, (as a โnuk fan), is the oilers. That MFer Gadzic & now that traitor 99 fukwad, plus messier is a cockroach lol, really makes it difficult for me & I want a Canadian team to win. Hell I even cheered for the Leafs for the 1st time in 50+ years of watching hockey!
I don't cheer for the players necessarily but for the fan base. The difference between a parade in Edmonton vs Florida would be laughable. There'd be like 500 people in Florida
Yeah I was rooting for the Stars and I couldnโt even enjoy their 1 win because of the crowdโs jingoistic chanting at the end of the game. Trumpโs got me rooting for the Canadians this time
Canucks fan here. In my view, this Oilers team is much better and a lot deeper than last year.
Are they better than the freight train that is Florida? Time will tell, but I feel it will be a dogfight.
I want Canada to win just because we terrified our closest ally and I donโt want the panthers to go to the White House so that I can hate a bunch of players I donโt knoe

Florida won the first 3 last year and then choked the next 3 barely winning the 7th. It was embarrassing. This year the Oilers will bring home The Cup.
Watching Connor McDavid on a breakaway is a thing of beauty! Watching Evan Bouchard slam home a puck so fast you can't even see it till it bounces back takes your breath away! This is my family's team. This year, they have the mojo, I can feel it!
#StanleyCup
Edmonton Florida is probably the best matchup. This should be a good finals. Edmonton has some experience and of course McDavid. But man Florida has studs everywhere on the top two or three lines and it's unbelievable and they have goalie Bob! Start of a dynasty?
Could be the start of a dynasty!
Iโm not sure if A) youโre new to NHL play or B) you donโt watch the news, or both A &B but it has ALWAYS mattered and it matters more than ever now.
Ah, thanks for the reply; so option A is the correct answer in your case.
For your edification; the Stanley Cup is not named after the company that manufactures hand tools.
Apparently youโve missed the recent interactions between Canada and the US during international play. Canadians boo during the US national anthem because they donโt like be insulted by a giant douchebag
Booing the American National Anthem is just plain wrong.
I donโt support the actions and never will.
Boo Trump (the deranged convicted felon) at every opportunity but not the anthem of the country which he (unfortunately) is the leader of.
I'm with you and I live in Dallas, TX! I will continue to wish all the best to those countries who are standing up to the orange fascist criminal currently squatting in The People's House! Not to mention, TX is a fascist state as well. Go Edmonton Oilers! ๐ฅณ

Yes, Iโm a very long grudge holder.
But his magic on the ice during his career was everything. Iโll never forgive them for trading him.
Florida has no business.
I do hope they win!๐๐ฝ๐

Go Oilers. Dig the eff in!
The Oil fan base, IN MY OPINION, is obnoxious.
And my โNuk fan base is worse lmao. ๐คฃ ๐
All the way Oilers!!!
-with love from your longtime American fan
Are they better than the freight train that is Florida? Time will tell, but I feel it will be a dogfight.
Sincerely,
A sane American
But Iโm Canada alll the way this year
Gooo Canada ๐จ๐ฆ

#StanleyCup
(now that I know Dallas won't be ๐)
Now be Canadian, and crush Florida. It's still our game.
Could be the start of a dynasty!
McDavid is on fire & a Canadian team deserves to win the Cup this year considering what a bag of dicks the White House is being towards them!
Thatโs all ๐จ๐ฆ
Everything.
ELBOWS UP, BOYS.

Give 'em hell, Oilers.
Standing with Canada.
Iโve always been a Denver Broncos fan, so as a kid I gravitated to the Oilers for the color scheme.
Of course, Messier, Gretzky, Fuhr and co. made it all the better.
Over time I became a Sharks ๐ฆ freak and now that we have an NHL team here in Salt Lake, canโt wait for Mammoth finals days
