In the NHL, there's 6 Hockey teams in Canada.
There's 24 in the U.S.
The last time the Stanley Cup was won by a Canadian team was in 1993 with the Montreal Canadiens.
For the whole 2010/2011 season, the Canucks have dominated. They've dominated in every category across the board I believe. They won the President's Trophy which is given to the team who's the best in the regular season. And they hand out another trophy to the team who wins in the Conference final, and finally the Stanley Cup, the one teams play for.
Tonight the Vancouver Canucks won the Conference Final, meaning they only have to win 4 more games for the Stanley Cup, since 1994. They win tonight, and I'm looking on different team boards, mainly American teams because the Canucks are the only ones left in the Playoffs, and I've come to the realization, that majority of people, simply don't want the Stanley Cup to come back to Canada.
The Canucks this year have set the best record for their franchise in wins/losses, won numerous awards, set new records and everything. It was their 40th franchise year. They've basically become a different team who has been able to beat the top teams, that they couldn't before.
They've constantly bashed the players, calling them sissies and everything like that, while everybody in the media and hell, even other teams themselves have called the Canucks serious playoff contenders and did nothing but praise them and give them the respect that they deserve. Yet the fans simply call them fakes and all that, and say that the Eastern team (being only American team now) will win and all that. Even teams that the Canucks didn't face and eliminate in the playoffs are bashing the Canucks.
There's one moderator on the San Jose Sharks forums, who said that the Canucks deserved to lose and not even be in the playoffs, and another said that he hopes the plane for the Canucks crashes and the whole team dies.
Are you one of those fans, or are you a true one who gives credit (to any team, I just used the Canucks here for obvious reasons) to a team because the deserved it?
