Canada can't win a Cup.

Also, show some respect ... Lord Stanley's Cup deserves capitalization. :laugh:

because there's less teams over here

only 4 teams in America have cups in the last 10 years so what's your point

I use my phone. I let my home deal with caps. I deliberately avoid using periods for the most part

and their coach is Canadian, their gm is Canadian, both owners are Canadian(one of them actually being from Winnipeg)
the team is in Winnipeg, Manitoba which is geographically located in the center of Canada

what's your point lol

Valid points, and question.

Honestly, trying to stir the pot a little...
I've had this conversation in numerous threads now - I don't support the idea of all Canadians supporting whatever Canadian team is left in the playoffs. No judgment towards one that does, I just don't understand it. As a Canucks fan born and raised in Vancouver I view the other Western Canadian teams as rivals and therefore don't want to see them win, just like a Sharks fan (just for example) would still vehemently cheer against the Kings or Ducks once their team is eliminated. Montreal and Ottawa I'm quite ambivalent towards. Toronto, well, best if I just keep my mouth shut...

My point was just to show that I don't understand the 'Canadian cheering for a Canadian team' mentality. That is all.

In all honesty I do like Nashville's team a lot; I have inter-personal connections with Irwin, Sissons, and Johansen. So I'm rooting for them quite heavily.

Neither do I, and my dad's one of them.

It's not the same, and a lot laugh at the league, but it's like my dad saying he cheers for the West team in the Grey Cup every year because he lives in the West. Fark that dad I'd never cheer for the team that KO'd mine. Ever.

And how many Sens/Leafs Oilers/Flames fans would cheer for the other team if theirs was knocked out. It just wouldn't make sense, but people are fickle.

well you've had a team probably since you were born. I was around 3 or 4 or 5(I don't remmebr the year) when we lost the jets

so I could only cheer for Canadian teams that were in the playoffs. preferably western teams

Frank Seravelli just said ‘people thought he (Mark Scheifele) was going to bust’

What a tool. Nobody said that

I have never thought of it from that perspective of hockey fans in Manitoba (and Saskatchewan for that matter). Well said.

However - if it were the Flames, Oilers, or Canucks in this position right now, would you be rooting for them (having had the Jets back for nearly seven years now)?

Well people definitely thought he was a stretch pick at the draft
Obviously that pick now looks amazing

If Nashville has been anything these playoffs, it's "inconsistent." That's an advantage for Winnipeg.

I drove an railroad spike through my left thigh yesterday so I wouldn't have annoying obligations tonight. Worth it.

well the jets "derseve" to be where they are right now
the way they built their team is simple math and no cheap tricks
no tanking, didn't get to excited and traded away assets to get a bit of a playoff push. looked at longevity more than short term plans

Vancouver has had their opportunity. now they should be in a rebuild, but have been making questionable moves. Vancouver could've had ehlers, nylander or larkin. not my problem. so it's not like they're gonna be as good of a team anytime soon. id give them a few years. just be patient like us jets have been through the process of drafting and developing. you can't expect them to be good in the snap


I really don't mind if Calgary makes it far. would be cool to see a claagry vs Winnipeg he western conference finals

and Edmonton has been tankingg for the last 10 years. they get what they deserve. how many 1st round/top 5 picks do you need

also was kind of cheering for Ottawa last year, but didn't really believe in them. they went on a good run tho

this time "Canada" has a legit team to cheer for right now. they look like contenders.

also ovie was my favourite player before Winnipeg drafted laine. so I cheer for him too. wouldn't mind seeing a jets vs caps finals
so at least if we lose the ovie gets a cup
