This is good marketing. Most Canadians are cheering for Vancouver.
Last week I attended a conference (where Nenshi attended). There were several hundred people in a very large room when a guy at the podium reached under the podium and put on a Vancouver jersey. The room erupted in applause. We flew home when Game 5 was on and the plane's passengers erupted when Vancouver scored goals.
The die-hards (maybe 10%) support Boston, but of the rest of people are solidly in the Vancouver camp. If you have 90% of the 10% who are absolute die-hards supporting boston and 80% of the rest supporting Vancouver, that's a lot of people cheering for Vancouver. I've been having this conversation with quite a few people, and almost without exception everyone I've talked to is cheering for Vancouver. I realize that the people on these boards are cheering for Boston, but we're a very small minority.
