I imagine this collapse is making the nation of Canada very happy
The only reason I want Edmonton to win, is because it would be fucking hilarious, and history in the making.
The only reason I want Florida to win is so Bingo Bango Bongo Roberto Luongo can get his name on Hockey's holy grail.
As a fan of neither team, I'm not particularly invested in either side, just fun and exciting when the SCF goes to 7
OT would be brilliant. I want it
Triple OT, Dman buries it from the point, as god intended.
3OT
Extra attacker for delayed penalty.
Dman fires it wide.
Takes a funny bounce....all they way back into the empty net
Does Florida have a Dman with a weird German name?
No I’m from Calgary
I genuinely think Flames fans are more anti-oiler than pro-Flame.
I see Flames fans admit this all the time lol. It's one thing to be that way secretly, but to just be completely open about it is crazy.
Hating the oilers is a religion for us.
Same here
Exactly I DO NOT want the oilers to win. Flames fan as well
Canucks fans feel the same way. No shot I am cheering for them
But unfortunately I think it’s Edmonton’s to lose.
Not Canadian. I don't have an issue with a Canadian team winning the cup. I very specifically don't want the oilers to win the cup. And unfortunately, I have to agree with you. I had a bad feeling after the Panthers lost game 5. I don't want to be right
Bro I don't give a fuck about that, I just want the cup to come home to 'Berta. Only time I'll ever cheer for the Oilers
You are wrong, hopefully you don't call yourself a flames fan. Cheers
Yea we got Royal screwed 04 , I was there in the Red Mile , good time but no CUp , that Goal was in
I feel the same way brother. GO FLORIDA !
My condolences.

And yet so many have.
Let's just say that if a meteor hits Sunrise on Monday, it's a rare win-win-win.
It's making Edmonton very happy, everyone else wants us dead lol
Hardly.
If you're against Edmonton winning game 7 at this point you're either a Panthers fan or hate fun.
This is potentially historic. This is the sports equivalent of a total eclipse.
Absolutely, maybe it's just the loud ones here that make me think that
It's always the loud crazy minorities that paint everyone else with a bad brush
lol speak for yourself. Most fans outside of Edmonton still want them to lose. But I’ll admit, it is entertaining
Lies. I’ve talked to fans from Minnesota, Chicago, Michigan, Colorado and the Northeast and nobody has said they want the cats when asked.
JFC, the post is talking about the “Nation of Canada”. SMH.
Can you not read? Lmao!
Can you? Most fans outside of Edmonton want the Oil to win in my experience - save for a few vocal fans from Van and the entire Flames fan base.
Unfortunately it appears you live in the real world. This is Reddit, you won't find people thinking this notion to be anything short of insane.
Give Connor his cup!
Lol. Your clueless. Canada hates Edmonton. You called them the "Oil"...your a Oilers fan. City of Champions....lol...
Sorry pal but literally all of Canada outside Reddit is watching this in support of Edmonton save for a few people doing a lot of talking. Gotta put that phone down every now and then and spy out the real world. It's bloody bonkers that people think everyone is against Edmonton...
It's just not fuckin true, m8, I don't know what to say... They have a country of people without Reddit clogging up their brains on their side, as would any Canadian team.
Love Reddit, but fuck this fake news propaganda bullshit. NHL on Reddit is a total fabrication.
Yeah well said! Particularly this sub and r/hockey are very anti Oilers by nature. It's fun and all (for them), but it's naive to think that's how the real world is. I live in Northern AB and it's obviously Oiler fans everywhere, but even my friends and fam from Ontario, BC, Colorado, Oregon etc. are on the bandwagon. There are always Oiler haters, such as my delusional Leafs fan uncle who lives down the road, but it's all in good fun. If I lived in Europe or Australia or somewhere, Reddit would have me think that NHL is a much more hostile environment in general than it really is. The reality is, 80% of the hostility on here comes from 12 year old edgelords or a small percentage of very vocal emotional adults.
Yeah well said. I'm in Ontario and about to go to the store for an epic watch party for possibly the best hockey game ever played (maybe not 1972 but damn close) . I'm so frickin pumped, I can't wait. Jalapeno poppers and awesomeness. Go Oilers!
Right on. Every US fan I’ve spoken with has picked the Oil so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Nah, Toronto is with ya lads
I appreciate the support man
Nah, would love it if Montreal would have to stop saying they were the last Canadian team to win :)))
Not true. Go Edmonton!
-Vancouver
Nah, the only fan bases that can take issue are Calgary and Vancouver and they're both irrelevant outside of their tiny fandoms
Honestly as a Vancouver fan I don't care who wins, but the reverse sweep has me soft-rooting for Edmonton. Either way I'll just enjoy the misery of whichever team loses.
Very fair
It would make Edmonton happy. This cup wouldn't be "going to Canada", it'd be going to Edmonton.
Naw, these boys are from all over Canada get over your crocodile tears. The oil have a chance to bring the cup up north for the first time in a long time and Im excited about that. Id be excited if it was calg, van, or whomever if we weren't directly playing them too.
Gold medals and Stanley cups belong in canada which is the nation responsible for producing most hockey talent. If the stats Ive accessed to calculate this are correct, Canada has produced 3.8x the players as compared to 2nd place US and 4.41x the points. Not only do we produce more NHLers, we produce on the whole, better NHLers.
Lets go Oilers! Please drag this cup back to Canada!
they’re not team canada & therefore do not represent our country.
Canadians on teams playing hockey always represent our country.
Every time I hear them sing our anthem before an scf game vs just the American one is so sweet.
“its about the name on the front, not the name on the back.”
the name on the front does not say team canada, therefore they do not represent canadian hockey fans. they represent oilers fans only.
can they be proud to be canadian by singing the anthem? sure.
Well if you say so
fuck no lol. panthers in 7
We better, its all we got. Give it about 20 years and the US will surpass us in hockey

No one wants their rival team to be the one to “break the curse” tho lmfao
just means something the rival fans can hold over our heads for the next 30 years 😭
Especially with how much oilers fans are assholes already, if they win I am not looking forward to any interactions with their fanbase in the slightest.
Yes and it is going to be glorious lol I can't wait
No true cancucks fan wants to see oilers win. Myself included. Go panthers go!
As a Canuck fan fuck no. My boy luongo having PTSD right now
As a canucks fan this is such a stupid take some people are trying to push. Lol
F you and f luongo's guido ask too
ROFL spoken like a true Albertan shit stain
Spoken like a true canadian surrey jack
Is that like a inside joke in Alberta? something the rest of civilized Canada wouldn’t understand
Dude don’t bother. Just remember that if they win, they’ll be deliriously happy for a hot minute. Maybe even a week. And then they’ll wake up to the sobering fact that they didn’t actually win anything. The hockey team they cheer for did. And they still live in the shit hole that is Edmonton.
Don’t fight them. Pity them.
then they’ll wake up to the sobering fact that they
didn’t actually win anythinglive in Edmonton
I know Alberta sucks, but man it just hurts seeing people talking about my home like that, y’know? I wish people in Alberta were better, because it’s the actions of assholes and idiots that make the rest of Canada hate us
Wtf? The vast majority of albertans are just fine. Alberta is great. Right wing fanatics suck, and I resent every time it is implied that everyone here is one.
More or less what I trying to say, I was just scared that if I didn’t preface my point like I did I’d get immediately dog piled:(
I am pretty sure the rest of the U.S. is right with Canada on that
Sokka-Haiku by Aromatic-Air3917:
I am pretty sure
The rest of the U.S. is right
With Canada on that
Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.
Florida is the America's Florida.
All I can say is that a bunch of people I know who aren’t invested in hockey are following the Stanley cup this year hoping for the Canadian team to win. I find that pretty damn cool
Edit: I’m from Ontario
Was upset it looking like a sweep, super happy we got the most hockey possible.
If the oilers don’t do it, it will be a huge upset, if the cats don’t win they will be labeled chokers. Let’s hope it’s a down to the wire game 7
I expect Edmonton to steamroll Florida because we may never get this far again. I don't want McD and Drai to become Marcel Dionne.
I am just happy their are people in Florida enjoying hockey.
It would be really frustrating if the NHL spent all this time and effort "growing the game" and had nothing to show for it.
I mean have you not seen Tampa, not trying to be a homer but we have one of best crowds in the game. One of the longest sellout streaks in the NHL.
I'm a Vancouver fan, born and raised. Edmonton winning the cup would piss me off just like Vegas did last year.
Fucking florida can't do anything right atm
Fuck no. The oilers fans are already the most unbearable in the league. This will just ramp that up to fucking 11.
Here's how we look at it... the Cup has been held by the americans but when it finally does come home it shall be to it's rightful place ie. ( my team's city )
Which is, of course, Edmonton. Game 7 baby!!
As a Rangers fan I am on the train!
Love the effort from Eddy but damn feel bad for Luongo.
I only want the panthers to lose because it would be only the second time an nhl team blew a 3-0 in the finals.
I have never celebrated a goal from any other Canadian club until last night.
Better not be another screw job Bettman
Edmonton winning will be a hard pill to swallow, but got to side with them for overcoming greater hurdles as a Canadian team, as the last 30 years has shown.
Florida now needs Bettman to help them.
No. Fuck them
Do Americans think Canadians only root for Canadian teams or something? I'm a Canadian Avs fan and I hate most of the Canadian teams, Lol. Cheering for Edmonton though bc I cheer against any Florida sports team.
Give me the resignation promised by Florida fans if their team loses. Lil bitches!
Florida needs to go out guns blazing game 7 after that embarrassing crap the last 3 games. Edmonton playing every game like it’s a game 7
Bouncing back like Hulk Hogan inspired by the Hulkamaniacs....
It's really only making oilers fans happy. Personally I'm just bored at this point. 3-4 days between games is just too damn long
not a fan of Panthers or Oilers so with no skin in the game the series is just interesting, If the Oilers win, we will have just witnessed something that has happened only once in Hockey history. if the Panthers win they save themselves from becoming the second biggest choke artists in hockey history
It was a little premature to say Canadians were happy about this and I realize that. I only really followed the Flames off and on before Utah got a team. Much as I wish it was Calgary in their position, I never really 'felt' the hatred for the Oilers.
There are Canadians wearing oilers jerseys and shirts everywhere
Not this Canadian. I really want Florida to win.
This aged beautifully.
Canadian here, Oilers are not Canadas team. Go Panthers

ya no Leafs aren’t Canadas team either
I just find it interesting to witness history as it unfolds. This would go down as one of the biggest comebacks/choke jobs in nhl history, if not the biggest. It’s cool to see it happening
Coming back from being down 3-0 has only happened 4 times in the NHL and 5 times at all, at least as far as American leagues go:
1942 Leafs in the Stanley Cup
1975 Islanders in the quarterfinals
2010 Flyers in the eastern conference semifinals (who even more impressively also won against a 3-0 deficit in game 7)
2014 Kings in the first round of the western conference
And over in baseball, 2004 Red Sox in the ALCS
Detroit, SCF, 1945.
you forgot Canucks blew a 3- 0 lead against Chicago but won game 7
Series isn't over. I don't think it's as much Florida choking as it is realizing that mcdavid is just faster and better than everyone on the ice. Last night they clearly focused on him, he still almost scored however the other players got some free ice and scored instead
dude no, you don’t even understand how insufferable the oilers fans will be if they win ,, as if they don’t literally throw their jerseys on the ice when they lose in round 1 like i can’t dawg 😭😭
Fuck no it isnt. As a Canadian who isnt a fan of edmonton i want them to lose as badly as they can.
Your wants might equal mine in seeing the Leafs name drop off the cup in a few years.
I don’t think most of Canada cares. Just enjoying a wild series and some great hockey
Fuck Florida, state doesn’t deserve the cup
I can’t hear you over our three cups
No its just makeing edmiton happy no one else. Maybe leafs fans as revenge but not many of us
It’s not
Jets fan here… want Maurice to get his cup.
Cup of joe as he walked out on the team.
No, Winnipeg fan here not ready for Oilers fans to be insufferable pricks till the heat death of the universe.
and beyond
Watching Maurice delaminating as his team is getting ready to choke themselves out of a SC is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
He pissed all over Toronto after getting fired and walked out in the Winnipeg Jets
As Ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap 😏
I enjoy watching Maurice blow up and their GM does a decent pissy face and water bottle throw. To be fair I enjoyed the Maurice blow ups when he was with my Jets.
The blow ups are one thing but when he walked away from Winnipeg, I thought that was pretty shitty TBH
Now making double and tax free in Florida, no cup for you sir!
dw guys by “nation of canada” they mean northern alberta.
The whole thing about Edmonton being Canada's team is made up by the media and regurgitated by fairweather fans tuning in strictly for the playoffs.
Nah, I'm from Winnipeg. F@ck the Oilers.
Yeah, but only because it’s funny as fuck
