Hockey might be Canada's most popular sport, but the country hasn't had much luck lately when it comes to hoisting the Stanley Cup.
It's been over 30 years since the last time a team from north of the border managed to win an NHL title. In the 1992-93 season, the Montreal Canadiens, led by Brian Bellows, Patrick Roy and Guy Carbonneau, lost only four playoff games en route to their record-setting 24th Stanley Cup title.
Only six Canadian teams have made the finals since then, and though several have come achingly close, none has been able to bring Lord Stanley's Cup home. Four teams -- the Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs -- are hoping to end that drought in 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs.

@brodiebrazil: If you were to take a poll of which means more to hockey fans, Stanley Cup or Olympic Gold what do you think the fans prefer and why?
NHL going back to the Olympics in 2026 got me thinking what would mean more to hockey fans, having their NHL team win the Stanley Cup or having their national team win Olympic gold at the 2026 Olympics in Italy?
As a Canadian I don't know what I want more, the Oilers to win the Stanley Cup or Team Canada winning the Olympic Gold at the 2026 Olympics in Italy. If I had to choose man this is tough, since the Olympics happens once every 4 years I have to go with Team Canada winning Olympic Gold in 2026 over the Oilers winning the Stanley Cup because I believe whoever wins Olympic gold has to be declared the best hockey nation in the world as Olympic gold imo is worth more than the Stanley Cup.
The only time I have seen a large number of Canadians rooting for a Canadian team to win was in 2018, when the Jets were in the Conference Final. Winnipeg lost their team and everyone was happy they came back. Otherwise, everyone wants their team break the drought.
I think this is the one comment everyone will agree with
I'd like any Canadian team but Ottawa to win myself... but they could start running the team properly and that could change.
....nope, fuck the jets
I was rooting for the Canucks in 2010-2011 because f the Bruins.
I dunno Ottawa's run in 2017 had a lot of Canadians behind it even Habs and Leafs fans. I generally think Canadian hockey fans are generally okay with rooting for Canadian teams provided they are not the Habs or Leafs due to the abundance of media bias.
My friend is cheering for Dallas and we live in Canada
Same, any team but edmonton
@@Crushbra sucks to be you
Uhh, no Brodie..... Just... no. That's not the way it works, dude.
As an Oilers fan living in Edmonton, I can guarantee you that the rest of Canada is most assuredly NOT cheering for Edmonton to win the cup any more than I would cheer for Toronto to win it which I can promise you... I... Would... NOT!!
And I'll let you in on a little fact here.... This whole trope about "No Canadian team has won the cup since.... whenever".... Nobody cares about that. They only care about how long it's been since THEIR team won the Cup. We don't go by Canada any more than you guys go by America or California or whatever.
Me, if my Oilers are out, I'll cheer for Winnipeg and maybe Ottawa. The rest of them may as well be in Bolivia for all I care.
GO LEAFS GO
GO STARS GO
I'm an Oilers fan, I was born in Edmonton, and live near Edmonton... I'd cheer for another Canadian team if it came down to it... I think that's just kind of a you thing bud.
@@Apoch86 No, You are kind of a you thing. There's way more like me than like you.
@@Apoch86 him, me, and literally every person i know..maybe a you thing?
@@hughjass1044 weird cause it’s the same for me.. pretty much everyone I know that’s a hockey fan would root for a Canadian team if we lost…. Must run in different circles…
Nope. Most fans of Canadian NHL teams think more like, "Yes, it's embarrassing that no Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup since '93, but it would be ever more embarrassing if the (list the names of the other Canadian teams) won it before my team does." The one partial exception might be Winnipeg - most Canadian fanbases had some sympathy for the city that had it's team 'restored' and it's not like the Atlanta Thrashers were historic rivals of any Canadian team. But that situation won't last forever - in fact, I think it's already beginning to erode.
From what I've seen, Leafs fans' respect for the Jets is quickly dissipating... and one person might be singlehandedly responsible.
No man. No.
I respect your right to your opinion.
But - even though I have been away from the True North Strong and Free - for more years than i care to admit to - I have Canadian memories of back when the world was different and you could talk to people about the real hockey players - from Trois Rivieres - and and even the amateur Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen that stunned the world - amateurs competing the professional Russians - and it is a degradation of humanity that there are so many many hockey teams all over the States in cities where it never even snows and people do not have any idea what it is to come home from school and strap on hand-me-down skates and go to play hockey even if it means you have to scrape off the fresh snow off the ice to skate on it - but they do know about making a buck from people who do life through their TV sets.
But, no.' I know gone are the days when one could say that "all of the All-Stars are Canadians" and the American teams that win the play-offs have the most Canadians. I get it.
\But No!
Anyone born in Canada has a feeling of pride that a Canadian hockey team wins the most important trophy there is. It restores a person's faith in the rightness of the world.
So Go Edmonton. The pride of a nation sits on your shoulders.
But that is just my H.O.
@@DanielCunningham-bm5vb well said my fellow Canadian brother
I assure you, all of Canada is NOT rooting for the Oilers to win the cup. Flames fans were rooting for Kings, then Canucks, now Stars, and most Canucks fans were mouthy all season because they finally had a good year and had a better regular season than the Oilers and are now bitter they lost because they can't back up their trash-talk.
Yep and a lot are crying it's the 'officials' fault! It's funny how much they posted "McBaby" and had meme's of him arguing with officials, yet all the Canucks fans do is whine and cry after every loss. Now a lot are saying how embarrassing it was for the Oilers to take 7 games to do the deed. I'd never cheer for Vancouver after this (though in the past when they went to the finals I did). I would cheer for Ottawa though!
@@KptKrunch9481 For all the talk Oilers and Leaf fans get for being toxic, Canucks fans are lowkey some of the most vindictive, toxic creations on this earth. They have been mudslinging ALL SEASON LONG. Maybe they inhaled some of that toxic supply from their trash strewn streets. I thought their city was supposed to be a "great place to live," but they seem like miserable people even when they are winning, and are worse when they lose.
As a kid got to see Edmonton win there 5 cups, plus Calgary win one and ofcourse Montreal's last one. I would have never thought that a Canadian team wouldnt win one again but who knows how long this drought will go for. I have gotten to the point where I will cheer for Canadian team in the playoffs EXCEPT CALGARY! Go Oil lets break the drought in 2024!
I respect the Habs' Cup wins, whether pre- or post-1967. That said, no non-Habs' Canadian team (NHCT) has yet:
- won a post-1990 Cup
- post-2011 has even made it to a Cup final
- won as many post-1967 Cups as the Habs have (10), with the Oilers (5) having won the most followed by the Flames (1) and a multi-way tie with 0 among the Canucks, Jets, Leafs and Sens
i know a lot of Canadians and none of them outside of Edmonton want them to win lol
I'd rather Dallas win. I'd hate to see another team choke in the finals like Calgary in 04 edmonton in 05 ottawa 07 Vancouver 11 Montreal 2021
F all of them, we don’t need sheep shill fans anyway
Same dallas is my pick to win
"I know alot of canadians" you sound so stupid. Your 3 sisters and your dad who is also your uncle doesn't count
No chance of anybody in Calgary or Vancouver rooting for the Oilers... in fact, I'm tuning in to watch the Oilers lose. What you need to do is actually analyze why Canadian franchises sabotage themselves in order to rush success due to fan pressure.
Good point...
That's too bad.. I'd cheer for the Canucks or the Flames if they were in the position Edmonton finds themselves... I'm an Oilers fan too.. born and raised in Edmonton..
@@Apoch86 I just can't. My hatred of the Oilers fan base is just too great! 🤣
@@garrysnowcreative I bet if we met in person you could share a drink with me… not all Edmontonians (and more specifically Edmonton hockey fans) are bad people.
Take care though.. hope you don’t have to harbour hate your whole life.
@@Apoch86 See... this is the problem... Edmonton fans take things to seriously. I'm just trash talking. Anyways, I'll be happy to see McJesus and Drai sign to other teams, and Edmonton can go back into a 20 year hibernation.
As an Oilers fan, I can guarantee you we do not have the support of the Calgary Flames fans
nope
facts right there, oiers all the way though
Leafs Fans are offically supporting the Dallas Stars!
I heard a rumor they sell voodoo dolls of Edmonton players at the Saddledome... 🤔...Is that true??...
Canucks fan here.... Oilers winning is better than another Florida-based team, but not by much
Canucks fan here. "ALL OF CANADA". Isn't rooting for the oilers, we're not rooting against them either. Every province has local kids or former players still playing in the final 4. So we're rooting for them. If E-town gets to the final I'll probably jump on the bandwagon like I did with the raptors but if they lose against dallas, then we're pretty indifferent to it. Just another season
I'm rooting against them. Don't want another Canadian team making it to the finals just to lose
As an oiler fan i just take the jealousy as a form of rooting for our team.
I have never cheered for another Canadian team just because they're Canadian, just like I wouldn't expect a fan of another Canadian team to be cheering for the Oilers. I find only the casual fans do that. "Gotta cheer for the Canadian team left," - screw that!
It would be cool to see the Rangers vs Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals. As both Canada and New York are both in big droughts when it comes to winning a championship and would make the match up very interesting.
Oiler fan here. The only other Canadian teams I’ll root for are Winnipeg, Ottawa, and Montreal!
The only hockey team all Canadians get behind is Team Canada at the Olympics. I spit at the idea that I cheer for the coilers, especially after they beat the 'Nucks.
The Oilers haven't had this much offensive punch since the Edmonton Gretzkys of the 1980s. Hope they can win the Cup this year. I'm a Leafs fan from the GTA, so I know there's a lot of Western Canadian hate out there, but I would like to see a Canadian-based team win one (not a "Canadian" team since all NHL teams have a mix of players from different countries).
Not a chance in hell will I hope for the oilers
Some cheer for the team that has never hoisted the Cup. This year, it's the Panthers.
Edmontonian here 56 yrs old and always cheer for the last Canadian team standing even Calgary in 04
Edit spelling
Leaf fan here, although I’ve lived in Edmonton for 30 years now. I want anyone but the Oilers to win and I’m not alone.
Lol, really? I'm an oilers fan and felt the same about the Leafs. Recently tho, the hatred isn't nearly as strong.
I definitely want the Oilers to win it. I’d love to see McDavid get it. (Wearing my Oilers t shirt as I type this) but if they don’t the consolation prize is that Pavelski goes to the finals again. I’m a Sharks fan and it would be awesome to see him get it.
I'm a Canucks fan who lives in Edmonton and regardless of the Oilers disposing of my boys, I've been a if it's not my boys, I don't want any Canadian team to win it.
The Oilers and their fans don't give a flying fu*k
Classic douche bag leafs fan...
Loser team, loser fans
16 of the 20 oilers are Canadian.
For further reference, I was born during that 1992-93 NHL season (in January 1993, to be exact). And as an American with extensive Canadian ancestry (one of my grandparents was actually a Canadian immigrant, making me only second-generation American on that side) and a lifelong resident of a state that borders Canada (I'm only about 80 miles away from the border, in fact), I kinda hope a Canadian team wins the Stanley Cup again soon since hockey is such a big part of Canadian sports culture and it feels like the NHL has largely forgotten about them in favor of expanding in the Sun Belt. If the Oilers make it to the finals I will be pulling hard for them.
I concur with your sentiment. I am the grandson of a French-Canadian immigrant from Alberta, and will be happy if the Oilers win.
Canadian here. The short answer is No.
TO is Proud of the Edmonton Oilers!!
Way to go!! Bring the cup home!! 👏
As a non-Canadian I'd like to see a Canadian team win. But I can't get behind the oilers or leafs. I was rooting for the Canucks but I could root for any other Canadian as long as they weren't playing against my team.
Which is funny because Vancouver is probably the least Canadian team in the NHL in terms of roster makeup.
Not being able to get behind the Leafs is frankly just cruel and more a comment on you than anything else as someone with no prior skin in the game.
why can't you get behind the oilers or the leafs?? what's your deal with them?
Also Edmonton Oilers have one of the highest amounts of actual Canadians on their roster of almost any team.. only 11 players are from other countries, the rest are Canadian.
@mr.brenman2132 canucks passionate fanbase makes people wanna like the canucks. And the blue and green jersey combo they have is eye-catching and trendy.
@@harmangill7509*canucks toxic fanbase
Look at any NHL or sportsnet comment section. All I see is "McCrybaby"
I'm a Canucks fan, living in Calgary, and I was rooting for Joe Pavelski to finally win it (after Vancouver got knocked out). While my wife wants the Oilers to bring the cup back to Canada, I don't really have skin in the game for this one. I'd be happy for both. I would have rooted for Florida if Marc Staal was still on the team.
Canadian here. Rooting for Dallas because of Joe Pavelski. Also happy with NYR 1994-2024 Cup Champs
Islander fan here, as a kid I saw my team win 4 cups. I remember seeing Wayne Gretzky with the Kings play the Habs in 1993 waiting to fly to San Clemente Island CA on Navy Reserves annual training.
not true. im a flames fan and I cant wait to see the stars roll them
So you belong to a cult?
As a Leaf fan, I don't want Montreal nor Ottawa to succeed, even if they're the only ones left.
Usually I cheer for players or stories rather than teams.
Connor McDavid is a big story. It doesn't matter about cheering for a Canadian success story.
If I was a Flames fan, I'd be taught at a very young age to not stand the Oilers and vise versa.
@@nicholasciviero7289 Oilers fan here for 45 years, and when the Flames moved to Calgary I was stoked for the rivalry that would drive each team to be better. I never hated Calgary and the only time I wanted them to lose is when they're playing the Oilers.
Hockey's a lot more fun without having to hate any player or team. There are a few exceptions, of course.
Enjoy the playoffs. Flames won’t be seeing them for quite a while.
@@hammer844 enjoy Connor and Leon. They'll be leaving soon and then oilers will be in the dark again.
Quebec deserves a team
they are too busy eating snails and frogs
They already have all the NHL teams they can economically support. Alberta can't afford to cover the costs of another team for the lazy people of Quebec.
@@adellis24 bs Quebec would make a lot of money for the league, don't act like they would be a nontraditional market like Arizona.
@@ozzmoises No dunce, I said they are a bad market because the province is full of racist poor people, it has an non-existent corporate base & can’t afford anything if Alberta isn’t fronting the costs. Their “new” arena is already a decade old & they aren’t even in the Top 5 most likely spots for NHL expansion. In reality, another Toronto team is more likely.
@@adellis24 Quebec is ready now period the other markets are not.
It's like when people used to say the Dallas Cowboys were America's team, the rest of America used to say "ummm yeah, they're not my team." Actually, to this day most people still hate the Cowboys. I'm guessing the Leafs are the same in Canada. I actually kind of like Montreal and St. Catherine st. when I've been there. Used to be some great nudey bars.
Come on Edmonton Oilers bring the cup back to Canada 🇨🇦
Was a Devils fan growing up in the 90s, high school in the 2000s, can confirm watching your team win it all is the best.
Hoping my Mets can do it again in my lifetime.
As someone who lives in Canada and supports a Canadian team I think the best way to describe how people here view the NHL and Canadians teams is that if Bettmen gunned down the entire Oilers roster in broad daylight Canadians would not be shocked. The league is set up to hurt Canadian teams and keep them out. Even something as simple as all salaries have to be paid in American dollars puts Canadian teams at an unfair disadvantage.
As a Habs fan still a bit heartbroken over losing in 2021, if it can't be Montréal bringing the cup back to Canada I'd rather it be someone who isn't Toronto haha. The Oilers have a tough ahead still, though out of the final four it does feel like anyone's chance.
I know there are Canadian commercials trying to project this idea that everyone should cheer for whomever is the last survivor. I guarantee as an Oilers fan for most of my life... very few Flames, Canucks, Leafs, Canadiens, and Senators fans are cheering for the Oilers. (A lot of Jets fans may have also split time cheering for Edmonton in the late 90s and 2000s so they might be different).
I would say if Toronto got to this spot no one outside of Leafs fans would cheer for them.
No different than many others, the thought is if I cannot win why should you. Everyone wants to be the team that does it but no one wants their rival to do it first because it would be never ending.
Less than half of Canadians have witnessed a Canadian team win a cup. If you only count cups won after they expanded from 6 teams it's embarrassing. Especially for the Leafs.
Yeah it’s been too long. I am an Oilers fan (grew up in Edmonton in the 80s). Watched the 2006 run they did. They were so close. If the Canucks advanced I would have cheered for them.
Go Stars, bring the Cup back to Dallas!
Once the Bruins were eliminated, I stopped rooting for any other team to win the cup, especially the Rangers…I’ll continue to watch though, because I love hockey.
What the hell are you talking about! No way all of Canada is pulling for the coilers! Stars all the way!..
Brodie, your awesome! Such good content layout and appreciation for sports and all those associated including players. I feel the same about JP. Watched every single playoff run when he was pushed to the limits of physical and mental toughness. Saw Joe and Ryan Suter on the bench at the Ice Den Scottsdale coaching their kids, all the while between first round NHL playoff games with the Kings. Amazing athletes and dads these guys are!
I like playing “back then” with the Maple Leafs…
Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!Oilers!💙🧡💙🧡
🎶Oh Canada!! They no longer win the cup. True patriot love!! Playoff success is no demand🎶 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Not a big Oiler fan but I am glad Leafs went out in first round
Oilers fan here
Will always cheer for Winnipeg/Ottawa and Montreal
I WILL NEVER EVER CHEER FOR CALGARY, VANCOUVER AND THE LAFFS
Its that simple
As a Canadian, it's not about Canadian-based teams as much as about the team roster. That is, I root for the team that has the MOST Canadians on it. Ironically, right now, that is Edmonton (20 Canadians). But I wouldn't be rooting for them if they had the roster of Vancouver (only 6 Canadians). That said, I'm going for Florida. They've always been left out of the hockey world due to their Florida cousins the Lightning, who have always stolen the show in Florida. It's time for a new Florida team to be crowned king of the hockey world. Ideally, it will be Florida vs Edmonton in the Final for me. Then, no matter who wins, I'm happy. (And, being a Leafs fan, I'd much rather the Leafs not only break their own curse, but the curse of Canadian teams not winning the Cup either.)
Let's Go Oilers! 🥳💪💙🧡
Nope. Hope the Dallas Stars destroy the Edmonton Oilers.
I'm definitely a Canadiens fan, to the core, then a fan 9f the east-coast legacy teams, this rooting for the Rangers. But when push comes to shove🇨🇦, I'll stick with the Oilers, although not a fan of any western team. So: Go Oilers, in spite of!
Wait? What? I thought TSN said the Leafs won the cup this year?
It is great watching the Stanley Cup playoffs in Canada especially if a Canadian team is involved .
Same logic should apply for awarding the Cup that handed my local team to Utah a couple months ago. That's right, give Utah the Cup this year....but wait until the last minute, game 7 of the finals would be perfect, and do it with some back room deal in the middle of the night.
Canucks and Flames fans will root for Dallas over Edmonton. Leafs fans don't care about anything but the Leafs. The Canadian issue is the exchange rate, so US teams have an economic advantage. That doesn't mean a Canadian team can't win, it just means it's harder.
Go Oilers!! 🇨🇦 🏒👻
Nope, not even the entire Alberta want the Oilers to win. You may actually have more Americans want the Oilers to win than Canadians.
True
Edmonton was always Canada's best chance, but the bottom 6 aren't good enough. One more year after this one to go for it (especially if they don't win this year)?
Wayne and Mark
Mario and Jaromir
Sidney and Egeni
...dynamic duos: Connor and Leon
Awesome video!! Love it
Going to be a hell of a series.
It's a coin flip but they have a decent chance against anyone. Everyone is relatively healthy and Dallas will have to adjust more to us than we to them. Pray Dallas takes penalties as nobody can stop our PP.
The Oilers are loaded with Canadian players too.
There might be a handful of Winnipeg fans who haven't checked out that will cheer for the Oilers. The rest of Canada hates us 😂
I cheer first for players I idolize (I'm a hero or idol worshiper). I cheer second for the team with guys who grew up in close proximity yo where I live. Thirdly, I cheer for the team with the most Canadian players. Fourth I'll cheer for stars whom I wouldn't want to see NOT win a Stanley Cup. Lastly, anyone but a Canadian team.
Not a lot of Oilers fans here around Calgary
Absolutely not.
Go oilers go let’s get it !
No not all Canadians are watching the Oilers!!!
Its a numbers game their is only 6 canadian teams and 30 plus american teams
If you count Colorado then Canada’s won a few. They’re pretty much the Quebec Nordiques.
We're not too worried because plenty of Canadians win the cup every year. We all know what a true best vs. best boils down to. Let's take a team of the best home-grown Albertans vs. the best home-grown Floridians or Californians and see who wins a hockey game. 22 million and 40 million vs. ~4 Million. Should be a fair game right?
I'd rather Vancouver would have won... I'm a leaf fan and it stings to have former leaf Zach Hyman lighting it up. So Go DALLAS!!
It stings to see a product of your team go on to do well? I would think it the other way around. Hyman's first 6 years were in Toronto. They helped turn him into the player he is today.
Hyman's a great guy off the ice too. Don't be bitter. Support the guy. He didn't choose to leave Toronto. Toronto gave up on him, and let him walk.
This makes wonder to hockey fans which means more: having their hockey team win the Stanley Cup or having their country win Olympic gold at the 2026 Olympics in Italy?
I think Canadians think the game is their game so they have this attitude. USA hockey one day will produce more NHL players than Canada due to the sheer growth of the game in the south and west. Players like Auston Matthews grew up in Phoenix where the game has grown tremendously, yeah it's not a traditional market but the time is coming that the US will produce more NHL players, it's just a fact and it's not far off.
And where's Matthews now? Oh ya he's golfing. Settle down there bud, it's Canada's game.
Holy shit this guy discovered the internet, wow. Truly some wild intense conversation!
Why would us from Vancouver route for Edmonton? Heck no! I am pulling for Florida. They haven't won a cup yet. I'd love to see Dallas win too! I hope they sweep the Oilers.
Canucks fans don’t want the Oilers to win. GO STARS GO BC Boy Jamie Benn for the Stanley Cup bring it back to BC.
The Canucks 20-man lineup for game 7 had only 2 Canadian players while the Oilers lineup had 16 Canadian players. The Oilers are "Canada's team", not the collection of Europeans and Americans who call themselves Canucks in Lotusland.
@@waynemilligan6649 Who asked? I don’t care the Stars have 14 Canadian born players I’ll cheer for them to win the cup.
@@zestplays In fact, the line-up for the last Stars game against the Avalanche had only 11 Canadian players. I loved it when Canucks lost the 7th game in 2011and then the sore losers rioted. You lost a game 7 in 1994 and rioted as well. A bunch of bitter folk depressed by all the rainy weather.
@@waynemilligan6649 Edmonton has better weather? 😂
No, all of Canada is not cheering for the Oilers.
We have no desire to have other Canadian fans on our bandwagon and I would never support Vancouver if they had advanced.
This is our time, the rest of Canada can get on with summer.
Oilers is DEFINITELY Canada's team. Oilers, all but 3 players are Canadian. Canucks, 3 players are Canadian. Just saying.
I'm guessing you were being sarcastic, but I just thought I'd pipe in that your numbers are wrong.. Oilers are all Canadian except for 11 players, and the Canucks only have 12 Canadians.
@@Apoch86 He was correct, actually. Of the starting lineup, 1 of the 12 forwards (Ryan, USA) and 2 of the defenseman (Ekholm & Janmark both SWE) are non-Canadians. The rest of the players listed on the roster are black aces. They practice with the team but don't play.
@@sh987 ahh ok well that’s cool then… I just went to check the roster to verify, and I counted and that’s what I found…
Guess we are kinda both right.
@@Apoch86 😉
I think MOST Canadain fans other than the super hardcore fans for a team do support whatever Canadian team is left. Calgary fans are less likely to support Edmonton, but I live in a city outside Vancouver (as a Jets fan) and most people I know here are behind the Oilers now the Canucks are out.
For many Canadian fans, the whole Bettman era has felt like the NHL hating on Canada with no cups coming (not his fault), the relocation of Winnipeg and Quebec, expansion ignoring Canada and choosing non-traditional markets. So for many of us it's a mix of national pride/interest in the sport but it would also feel like maybe the end of the Bettman era curse on Canada.
Canadian hockey fans are a rivalry based. and caddy based love affair with the game… ALL OF THE CANUCKS FANS CALGARY FANS WOULD NEVER CHEER FOR EDMONTON… it’s sad.. but true.. Western fans do have less of a rivalry with the eastern teams .. even Winnipeg I could cheer for if they were in the Stanley Cup final, but the rivalry is too strong… Calgary and Canucks fans hate us in Edmonton.. some Leafs fans do too… It’s a broken system
It probably started with the Oilers in the 80s for a lot of the people that dislike Edmonton but on an ironic note, if you talk to anybody from Japan 80% of Japanese people that watch hockey cheer for the Oilers because of… Wayne Gretzky
No, what is sad is all the Western Fanbases hating on the Leafs just because they dominate coverage and have the most fans in the sport, when they only play twice a year.
The Oilers are "the good guys".
Dallas in 6. Sorry boys.
Sounds about right.
Hopefully Dallas in 4
hope its 4
As an Albertan, I'd like for our Province to leave Canada. We're Albertan first, not Canadian. We don't care what derps from other Provinces wanna hate on our teams like they hate on us.
I think the one team everyone would cheer for in Canada would be Ottawa. NOT including Leaf fans - who here wouldn't? I mean, you get the best of both worlds, you see a Canadian team win, AND you get to rub the Leafs fans noses in it. Oh would that be sweet. Meantime - as an Oilers fan - Go Oilers Go!
You Western Fanbases have a weird obsession & infatuation with the Leafs because they seem to dominate the majority of all the comments you people ever make. You realize they only play twice a year, they aren't rivals and frankly no one in Toronto gives Edmonton a second thought unless Connor McDavid is in town... ONCE a season.
The Leafs really seem to own a fairly substantial amount of property in the hollow skulls of every single Oilers fan. You think you the shit Edmonton, you ain't even the Fart.
@@adellis24 it's not an obsession, nor an infatuation. Your comment about "no one in Toronto gives Edmonton a second thought....'" answers your own question. We feel the same. So how would you like if every time you tuned into a sports show, regardless of how the Leafs did, or the Blue Jays, or the Argos, all you saw was EDMONTON EDMONTON EDMONTON even when Edmonton was a terrible team? The networks are Toronto centric and frankly we are sick of it. That's why Rogers came out with regional sports desks (sportsnet)! You aren't 'shit' either yet you all think Matthews is better than Draisaitl lol. Go ahead, just ask yourselves.
Mcdavid winning a cup would be good for the game. Good luck against that stars team.
No respect for fans in Canada. If your a Leafs fan rooting for the Habs your not a real fan.
I think Edmonton Oilers really good chance to win the Stanley Cup
😂😂 Edmonton oilers aint Canada's team thats Edmontons team we want our team to win the cup My team are flames 🔥 just cuz im flame doesnt mean i hate oilers. We die hard fans love our own team to win Watching playoff hockey is fun 👍 if my team aint in final 4 or SCF i aint partying 😊
a good Canadian is sorry but not sorry when debating a bout hockey lol
No Brodie. Each of us here wants their own team to be dubbed "Canada's team". So it's one's own team or GTFO.
Okay, nothing against the Oilers in particular, but why does this topic ALWAYS come up whenever exactly one Canadian team remains in the playoffs?
I don't have an NHL team, so I'm not biased, but I think every Canadian team has at least one other Canadian team fanbase who isn't cheering for them.
Montreal hosted lord Stanley the last time that Canada seen a cup cause of Gary Bettman wants the cup stay in the states so don’t blame the team blame Gary bettman he had to let them win cause Gary bettman started in February in 93 he had to let it go. We don’t know who wins the cup but Gary bettman knows
Canada still wins when an america team wins..you know most of the players in the league are Canadian and they can bring the cup back to there towns? Its the nhl and bettmans whole agenda to have american teams win...its a business model..Canadians are just on loan to grow the game in the states..the richest American owner buys the cup sorry to break it to ya Brody, all that really matters is that canada maintains gold in olympic hockey now as sad as it is thats the reality
Oilers needs to win because of two things, the best player the game has ever seen needs to win the cup at least once. It would be would be so sad if Mcdavid goes through his whole career without winning it. 2nd, Leafs fans will feel pain from seeing Hyman win the cup.
It would showcase what a crap Franchise the Oilers are
No other canadians are cheering for oilers other than oilers fans. Dallas has former canucks player and lots of canadian players. Go dallas
Goodnight everyone
I want the final to be Oilers-Rangers, two northern teams that have struggled for a long time.
Oilers aren't Northern tho. They're in western Canada 🇨🇦.
@@DateMike22dude they're the most northern team in the NHL.
@@DateMike22 Things can be more than one thing... Edmonton is the northernmost major city in the Americas. It is also in western Canada.
@DateMike22 Brodie lives in California everything in Canada is north to him
Yeah, I'd love that too! The North will rise again!
Oilers are the worst team left in the playoffs they ain’t winning the cup
I want mcdavid to get a cup but Edmonton can goto hell... so conflicted
