Haha funny. Well unfortunately I didn't jump on the Van wagon like most.. I'd prefer to cheer for a team with more Canadian players...lol..but Tampa is my 2nd fav team in the NHL next to Soilers. Actually I think out of all the teams in playoffs right now, Washington & Philly has the most Canadian players, then Boston, SJ, then TB, Nash, Van and least is Red Wings I believe.

I'm a little late with this but with last night's win; it's one game closer to the parade!!! GO CANUCKS GO

FYI, I don't count the amount of Canadian players on a team. If it is a Canadian team advancing, I'd switch teams, period!

My favorites are the Oilers and the Canucks. But even if it were Calgary in the finals, I'd cheer for them. As far as an American based team goes, I would cheer for Detroit or the Rangers

yeah me thinks the flyers really should address the goalie situation
theyve been plagued by bad goaltending for way too long.... tampa looks scarey 23 guys pulling in the same direction does wonders in the playoffs

Its not the only reason why I cheer for Tampa, but I do cater to teams who are made up of Canadians, despite where they are located geographically.. to me, location has nothing to do with the players themselves, its there blood, being raised as Canadians playing hockey their whole lives learning to love the game!

But, We all have our 2nd fav team, and seeing how Tampa is pretty much my second home away from home, I cheer for them..I've been able to go to several Tampa games so naturally, I like watching and cheering for them :)

GO BOLTS!
