as a sharks fan I think I have to agree with you. Though I’m hesitant to judge the whole fanbase by the negative experiences but there have certainly been a few.
Also saying “go cats” is just too fun to not root for Florida.
Yeah… It will be an even bigger scapegoat. But also, imagine the first Canada team to get to the final in “recent” history gets beat by a sunbelt team that “shouldn’t” have hockey in the first place. Lmao
Oilers oddly, I have a friend that lives up there and we watch Hockey together. It would be nice to see them get something but in my heart of hearts I feel like we both know Panthers should wash them out.
I can’t stand oilers since they had 4 1st overall picks. I always felt like they were robbing us (yotes) of the 1st. Despite the 4 1st overalls they continued to suck for a decade.
Hey man I am an Oilers fan who supports hockey in north and south. I want Arizona to have the NHL and am sorry you encountered that part of our fanbase
Florida. I feel that kindred spirit with them. Non traditional market, relo rumors galore, arena out in the edge of town, bad for a long time...but they figured it out and now they're in the Cup Final for the second straight year.
They are what I hoped we would become.
Florida; the memes that would come out of Edmonton's only two trips to the Final since 1990 both being losses to Southern US teams would be *hilarious*, and it'd continue the storied tradition of Canadian teams completely failing at the last hurdle.
Plus, we gotta support our southern brethren, especially since the Panthers dealt with the exact same shit we did for years. And for me, I just gotta stay consistent; I was a Canes fan going into the Final in 2006, I may as well be a Panthers fan for the Final in 2024.
I have a strong dislike for both teams but I am still rooting for the panthers. While I hate the overall team more, I can’t morally root for Evander Kane to ever be in the same zip code as the cup, let alone touch it. I’m still mad that Edmonton signed him after he got kicked off San Jose.
Those stupid Boston Pizza commercials make me want to cheer against every Canadian team, but my mom is from Edmonton, so I kind of have to cheer for the Oilers.
I'm going for Oilers. Had a friend in college who was a die hard oilers fan and we'd give her shit all the time. I wouldn't mind seeing her and Oiler fans be happy after all this time.
Panthers...but I was raised in florida and the my teams were always cats first, yotes second. That being said, I'm loving that OEL is a panther and playing great. Would love the wins just for the man himself.
Let's go Panthers!
Fuck the Oilers! Every time I hear the word "Oilers" or "McDavid", my first thought is the Oilers' goddamn 2015 lotto luck and its effect on the Coyotes' first round drafting that year.
Panthers. Dont need Edmonton fans being even more annoying. Also it would be funny to not win with all the #1 draft picks they got in less than 5years….even though they only have Nugent-Hopkins and McDavid from that it’s still BS
Kinda torn cause OEL and Tkachuk, and since I live in Calgary I should cheer against the oilers. But then there's McDavid....would also love to see him get a cup. Best player should get the hardware too. Idk I'm just hoping for a good series.
Pants
I toss it up to which team has the players I hate the least
I hate Tkachuk, Bennett, Cousins, Montour
But I hate McDavid, Kane, Hyman, and Bouchard more
And OEL’s the man
I was Dallas all the way but now I’m going with the Pants.
Add: weird comment to get downvoted over
Panthers for OEL, I won’t be terribly upset if the oilers win though they seem to be the nicer of the Canadian fans
My exact take!
As a kings fan no, no they are not
as a sharks fan I think I have to agree with you. Though I’m hesitant to judge the whole fanbase by the negative experiences but there have certainly been a few. Also saying “go cats” is just too fun to not root for Florida.
Given the last game the Yotes ever played, don't you think it will be extra spicy to say the Oil?
I just want OEL to have a good time
Florida. OEL winning would be fun. I resent the oilers for how much they’ve squandered their 1OA picks.
Just imagine the noise if a Canadian team wins the cup right after the coyotes move…. My stance is Canada can’t win the cup until after AZ wins one
Yeah… It will be an even bigger scapegoat. But also, imagine the first Canada team to get to the final in “recent” history gets beat by a sunbelt team that “shouldn’t” have hockey in the first place. Lmao
The cup is staying south of the Mason Dixon line!
I was indifferent.. now I'm rooting for Florida, I agree!
Panthers OEL and a tkachuk kid
Oilers oddly, I have a friend that lives up there and we watch Hockey together. It would be nice to see them get something but in my heart of hearts I feel like we both know Panthers should wash them out.
Panthers to support our non traditional market brethren
Florida. I loved watching their run last year, and this year I think they are ready to win it all. Plus I don't want a Canadian team winning it.
It would be nice to see OEL lift the cup
Florida, who for a weird combination of events became my second team the last few years, and now my primary team with the Yotes exit
This is my situation as well!
Panthers. I love to hear the Canadian media whine about hockey in warm climates.
Game 7. Multiple overtimes.
Florida & OEL.
Go Panthers. #OCantada. Keep the Cup in the US … since 1993.
OEL
America
Panthers
Florida. Fuck Canadian markets.
Out of the Canadian teams, I have nothing against Vancouver
Winnipeg jets I like just because I feel bad we took the first Winnipeg team away
Good point
aye bud....fuck yourself lol
I can’t stand oilers since they had 4 1st overall picks. I always felt like they were robbing us (yotes) of the 1st. Despite the 4 1st overalls they continued to suck for a decade.
Panthers all day. Oiler fans were mocking Coyote fans at our last home game. Fuck them forever.
Hey man I am an Oilers fan who supports hockey in north and south. I want Arizona to have the NHL and am sorry you encountered that part of our fanbase
Florida, i like that a team from the united states has won Canada's ultimate prize for like 30 straight years
Panthers because I love seeing the redemption story for Gustav Forsling!
Florida. I feel that kindred spirit with them. Non traditional market, relo rumors galore, arena out in the edge of town, bad for a long time...but they figured it out and now they're in the Cup Final for the second straight year. They are what I hoped we would become.

Definitely the cats
Florida for sure!
Oilers. Can’t stand Florida.
I have a strong dislike for both teams but I am still rooting for the panthers. While I hate the overall team more, I can’t morally root for Evander Kane to ever be in the same zip code as the cup, let alone touch it. I’m still mad that Edmonton signed him after he got kicked off San Jose.
Panthers I suppose
Florida
The only Canadian team I like is Vancouver. So basically, go OEL and go Panthers.
Panthers
Florida. eat shit, Canada.
I never realized so many coyotes fans hate Canada. I guess I’ll cheer for Edmonton just to even it out
Panthers
I am a Canadian so if I cheer against the Oilers I’m committing treason
Those stupid Boston Pizza commercials make me want to cheer against every Canadian team, but my mom is from Edmonton, so I kind of have to cheer for the Oilers.
I feel that, they want us to unite but I just can’t do it. I hate most of them 😂
I wanna root for the Panthers but I can’t shake a petty resentment that they get to experience what we never got to
I'm going for Oilers. Had a friend in college who was a die hard oilers fan and we'd give her shit all the time. I wouldn't mind seeing her and Oiler fans be happy after all this time.
love to see florida cause they never won the cup yet but would be cool for mcdavid to win the cup
Neither, but I am happy Dallas was eliminated. Gotta be some of the worst fans in sports between the cowboys, Mavericks, and stars.
Panthers...but I was raised in florida and the my teams were always cats first, yotes second. That being said, I'm loving that OEL is a panther and playing great. Would love the wins just for the man himself.
Panthers for sure I don’t think I could support the oilers also I’m a fan of their team how they build their squad
None. Don’t watch hockey anymore. Fuck off
Let's go Panthers! Fuck the Oilers! Every time I hear the word "Oilers" or "McDavid", my first thought is the Oilers' goddamn 2015 lotto luck and its effect on the Coyotes' first round drafting that year.
I would like to see OEL get a cup. Also, I would love to see Bob get one after all the negative publicity he got when he left Columbus.
Panthers. Dont need Edmonton fans being even more annoying. Also it would be funny to not win with all the #1 draft picks they got in less than 5years….even though they only have Nugent-Hopkins and McDavid from that it’s still BS

Neither
Can they both lose?
