I'm a Leaf fan, and while I am not a Habs fan, I am still a hockey fan first. You have to be with the Leafs, or else you'd never enjoy hockey, especially playoff hockey. So I do admire some things about the Habs, I like Carey Price and such. Have a bit of a soft spot for Shea Weber, even Corey Perry. But that Habs/Leafs series was about as passionless of a series as they come and just jumping on the bandwagon and cheering for them is just sort of gross. Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing back in the day when John Ferguson would walk out of the Old Spaghetti House if he ever saw Eddie Shack come in. At least there is true animosity there.
Lastly, I'll say this, I don't necessarily like cheering for a team just because they are in Canada. I was cheering for Boston in 2011 vs. Vancouver. If anything, look at the final teams in the race right now and look at their rosters and see who has the most Canadians. I am pretty sure it is either Vegas or Colorado. But either way, pretty much all teams left have at least half of their rosters as Canadians. So I would say the one with the most is sort of Canada's team isn't it?
Why do we have to cheer for a Canadian team? Lets just send 6 teams packing and have one then! This is pathetic.
We don't. I won't cheer for another Canadian team other than the Flames (unless them winning helps the Flames)Why do we have to cheer for a Canadian team? Lets just send 6 teams packing and have one then! This is pathetic.
I'd be livid if I were a Leafs fan.
But since I'm not......
I'm a Canadian that cheers for exactly 0 Canadian teams across all sports, partly because so many Canadians have this attitude.
Canadians and Americans really aren't all that different. If I'm in Ontario, I probably have more in common with a Michigander, Minnesotan, or Pennsylvanian than I do with a Quebecer or British Colombian.
There's a smug and elitist contingent of Canadian Nationalists that belittle Americans at every opportunity, and I see this shit as an extension of that.
never in a million years would Montreal light up a building blue and white, especially after losing to them
You're way over thinking this and have built this up more in your head. Strange hill to die on but you do you.
We love the Jays and Raps. No problem rooting for them.Its ok. There is enough Raptors and Jays gear in Montreal.
