Lightning fan here. Just out of pure curiosity, I was wondering who all of you Oiler fans were rooting for in the 2004 Stanley Cup Finals. The who prospect of a team from Canada winning the cup was pretty hyped up, even on ABC. They made it appear that most of Canada wanted the Flames to win (Canadians have subsequently told me that it was just hype).
While that was the Flames narrative, the Lightning's narrative was Dave Andreychuk trying to win his first cup in his 22nd season (and ultimately succeeding).
Who did you cheer for in that series? Did you join in on the Flames being "Canada's team" aspect? Or was it just simply too hard to bring yourself to cheer for your biggest rival?
I've already conducted this poll on the Leafs, Habs, and Canucks boards.
Also, if you care, I wanted you guys to win in the 2006 SCF.
