Aww man, Jets are DONE!
Now every Sportscenter will be all Leaves instead of just mostly. They will have full game analysis, three separate panels of talking heads analyzing the game, then an analysis on the analyzation, they a second round of highlights THEN the rest of the hockey highlights 
Guess I gota go with Ebbs & the Islanders now..
Love watching Ebbs play and succeeding, that kid is just fun to watch and a clutch goal scorer. Good thing we got rid of him, who wants THAT?!

Blues are no joke, they could go far. With Jets out, I am on the Golden Nights bandwagon.

Leafs are Canadas team...
I would cheer for them if they get past the Bruins. But until that happens, BRUINS!!!!!!!
The Bruins were my team prior to the Flames coming here.

Who cares if they're the only Canadian team. Probably don't have more Canadians on the roster than the other 30 franchises.
For me it will always be....Anyone BUT the Make Believes or Habs.

Bruins were a Canadian team?
If Supporting Canadian teams means so much, how did you come to supporting an American team?

I was born into it.. Had no choice what so ever. ;-)
My Dad signed with the Bruins when he was 16 years old. Made it to one of the training camps back in the late 60's tough team to crack back then. Broke his elbow and that was that. A few offers came in as the league expanded, it just wasn't in the cards for him.

I’ve always rooted for any Canadian team that was in the playoffs before I’d support a US team. Not this time, the TO players and fans are just a bunch of whiny snowflakes. The Bruins series turned me into a Leaf hater. I hope that they get their asses kicked in Canadian style hard hitting hockey......even if it’s by a US team.

Bobby Orr for this little Cowboy.
Also a Flyers fan as so many of the guys on that team Dad knew. Dave Schulz was his Roommate. Played against Bobby clark so many times. great storys.
But it has been the Bruins as my second team for a very long time. They just have a place in my heart. When Tim Thomas personally took care of one of the Sedins years ago, I was just so damn proud. LOLOL. I remember that like it was yesterday. How on earth he got away with that I have no idea. The Canucks should have put TT into the 3rd row after that. But they didn't and I honestly believe that cost them the series.

Leafs are Toronto’s team, not Canada’s. If they were Canada’s team they would be called the Canadiens.

If you want to cheer for Canadians, St Louis has the most Canadian players.

Mid 60's I was a Chicago Black Hawk fan (Hull/Mikita) then a Bruins die hard from 1968 until the 1980's when we had the true BOA, I was a Flames fan (losing so much $$$ betting against the Oilers (I seriously hated them). I became an Oilers fan as soon as they signed McGeezuz, said I'm not going to mess up this time.
Oilers, Preds, Bruins now

If they were called the Canadiens, they would be golfing for the past while.

Uhhhhhhh, It's 100% illegal and immoral to change from the Flames to the Oilers. I think there is a provincial if not federal law against that stuff.

Awesome. Heck, Jaybo went to my highschool (albeit a good decade and change before me) and I had buddies who had played hockey with/against Parayko growing up in the Edmonton/St Albert area.

It's actually 20 if you count back up goalies. Their defensive core consists of almost all Canadian players.
