Okay Canada. I have an exclusive deal for you. In exchange for cheering the Oilers to break the Cup Curse. I will cheer for the following:

1. Calgary - I will cheer for Huberdeau to never take an in-game dump and become a 100 pt player again
2. Vancouver - I will cheer that EP40 finds his smile again
3. Winnipeg - I will cheer for you guys to get an airport therefore increasing your free agency attractiveness 3-fold
4. Montreal - I will cheer for you guys to win the draft lottery
5. Toronto - I will cheer for your first round demons to finally be put to rest for good

Keep in mind these deals are for the good of the country. Let’s shake on it.

Do you want to see our heritage destroyed and the fabric of our society irreparably torn?

They stole hockey from Quebec and they will take it from Montreal too. True patriots support an Oilers Cup Win.

The Nordiques were losing money and the owners sold the team.

Economies change. Bettman will always be a threat. Think big picture.

So did he steal the Whalers, too?

No. the market didn’t want it. Canada does. Because Canada is Hockey…. For now….

How could any of the other Canadian teams’ fans seriously back Edmonton?

They are the source, or the catalyst of this whole “sun belt problem”, and by connecting dots, the whole Cup Drought stems from their actions!!

 

[Ladyfan]

I want the Rangers in the East and Edmonton in the West.

I would like to see the Oilers win it all but anyone except Florida.

Yes

So a Florida v Dallas final with the Cats winning it

 

[SEALBound]

I'm really pulling for Pavelski. I also love the team that Dallas has built - Hintz, Robertson, Wyatt Johnston, Stankoven, Heiskinen, Harley, Lindell, Otty...I mean, it's a team with a bunch of good young players. Then you have Pavs, Benn, and Seguin providing the vet presence...it's really hard to be against them.

In the east, I love Florida. Big Barkov and Tkachuk fan. Like Dallas, I love the collect of solid young talent they have - Verhaeghe, Rodrigues, Luostarinen, Lundell, Bennet, Reinhart. Then they have Big Bob in net. Like Dallas, it's hard not to like them.

nope. I would pick Dallas in that series.

Western Canadians in Calgary and outside of Alberta is rooting for Dallas.

My buddy just sent me videos from a bar in Vancouver last night where he was watching the Oilers and the bar was quite clearly rooting for Edmonton. He was surprised caused the Oilers had eliminated Vancouver.

I know that's anecdotal for one place, but it's still more accurate than you pretending you know what all of Western Canada is doing.

Was it the Black Frog because that's a popular Oilers fan hangout in Gastown.

 

[NVious]

All Toronto fans need to cheer on Edmonton, McDavid winning the cup with Edmonton bodes well for us signing him.

 

[aufheben]

Do people not realize how boring DAL-FLA would be? Plus with this whacky SCF schedule people will probably forget to even watch it.

Reasons to root for the New York Rangers:

• They’re the only team in NHL history to win the Presidents’ Trophy and simultaneously be a Cinderella team.
• They only try to score fancy goals.
• It would be absolute chaos if they played the Oilers.

 

[aufheben]

It’s not too late Canada.

The very fabric of our country can still be saved. The door to the Oilers bandwagon is wide open for any true patriots.

Game 1 in the books. The Cup Drought will fall. Be part of history or be left staring from the sidelines.

It’s too late for Canada. I saw the Tim Horton’s pizza ads.

Oh shit. It’s over.

The atrocity that is Boston Pizza was bad enough.

This is really good

 

[Banjo Cat]

Yes

Well that's not very nice.

Exactly this!
