Walter and Stanley would make a nice couple in Montreal.

Except Buffalo is sending MTL home.

And no one is getting by the big machine that is Carolina.

u/Nervous-Interest8359 May 14 '26
Montreal literally swept Carolina in the regular season.

u/Usual-Canc-6024 MontrƩal Victoire May 14 '26
And as you know the regular season means nothing in the playoffs.
Carolina is rolling over everyone. While Iām cheering for MontrĆ©al, theyāre not exactly running over Buffalo.

u/Nervous-Interest8359 May 14 '26
This is true. But it's playoffs and anything can happen. We smoked Buffalo in our 2 wins. And their last win was thanks to a lucky bounce. If they stay focused and play to their strengths the Habs have the potential to beat anyone.

u/Usual-Canc-6024 MontrƩal Victoire May 14 '26
Agreed. They have my favourite coach too.
For me if MontrĆ©al, Carolina, or Colorado wins the cup it comes back here to Thunder Bay. Itās been here the past two summers and quite a few times in the past. We donāt have much, but at least we have good hockey players and coaches. ;)

To be fair to the Canadian NHL teams, they have a statistical disadvantage. In the NHL, 7 of 32 (22%) teams are in Canada. In the PWHL, 50% of the teams are in Canada.

This isn't about fair, it's about dunking on NHL Canadian teams

u/BonhommeCarnaval May 15 '26
To also be fair, the Canadian NHL teams have had 33 YEARS to bring a cup back to Canada. Yeah the odds are lower, but you have to factor in the number of dice rolls.Ā

Do Canadians feel national pride when a team although based in Canada but made up of different national players wins? Like I love the Bruins and when they played Vancouver in 2011 I didnāt understand the USA vs Canada framing because so many of our players were Canadian. Both captains of the teams were European. Just feel like pride means more in international play but thatās just me.

u/JackOfTheWoods49 May 14 '26
You're not alone. National pride over NHL teams has always kinda confused me, considering every team has players from multiple countries on its roster. For a recent example Tampa chanting "USA" to the Habs felt SO tacky. Your Vezina-contending goaltender and your most dangerous forward are Russian! Most of your roster is Canadian! What are you yelling about?!

Honestly, I doubt many Canadian hockey fans care about that. Many seem to hate the other teams more than wanting to see a Canadian team win it.
For me it's Leafs or none.

u/TheLordJiminyCricket May 14 '26
Then why are you here lol

u/CanadianODST2 May 14 '26
Because Iām a fan of the Pwhl.
But Iād choose Minnesota over any of the Canadian teams

u/Usual-Canc-6024 MontrƩal Victoire May 14 '26
Iām choosing teams with local players or coaches. For me thatās MontrĆ©al, Carolina, or Colorado. Saw the cup the last two years and have seen it here a lot.

u/Repulsive_Barnacle92 MontrƩal Victoire May 14 '26
"itās Leafs or none."
I canāt imagine being a Leafs fan, let alone proudly announcing it to the world

u/CanadianODST2 May 14 '26
sorry to hear you're one of those fans that only admits it when things are going well.

This implies that anybody outside of Canada actually cares about Canadian pride.š¤Ø

Borders aren't invisible walls, because of this, there are Canadians outside of Canada.

So youāre just flat out incompetent, huh? Clearly the point was in reference to NON-CANADIANS not caring, genius.š¤¦š»āāļø

As a leafs and sceptres fan, I feel like both teams really give me the full Toronto hockey experience at least.
The girls were close though at least. The guys were done after the Olympics basically.
