Ain't no way in heck I'm rooting for a Canadian team, especially one that has Corey Perry on it. The main boards would be an unbearable mess.

I remember how brutal they (Canadians in general) were to us when we were in danger of moving. My memory sucks these days but I remember that. I don't really hate the Oilers but I won't cheer for a Canadian team (or Minnesota just becau$e) to win the cup until we win one. Might be disappointed, but that's sports, isn't it? Disappointment with the occasional joy thrown in, ha!

Canadians are very weird about hockey. Getting another NHL team in Canada (whether it was Hamilton, a second Toronto team, Quebec City, etc) has always been a weak spot. I don't hold that as much against Canada as probably some of you here do, because I understand how at the time it was a much hotter topic, and a lot of southern NHL expansion teams weren't faring that well, plus teams had been taken away from Canada recently (Winnipeg, Quebec). And a lot of those people who dissed us are the standard Toronto area type of entitled folks who aren't really that representative of most Canadians.

So to me, Ekholm and Arvy are the guys I'm going to cheer for, bottom line. A few obnoxious fans a decade+ ago aren't going to dissuade me from wanting two of my favorite players of all time to win a Cup.

Intellectually I get that but emotionally it was a blow. They did not understand what was going on in Nashville and were not willing to give us a chance because we "don't have ice" (absurd, where else in the world is ice going to be a requirement for living in general but the south) Okay they meant to skate on but we do have the technology for rinks. They can pound snow.
