I wouldn't be surprised if it is generally accurate as Oiler fans are likely rooting for the Canucks in this series (I am sure most will change if the Canucks advance).

Quebec City is kind of weird though. I visit there often and find that a lot of people hate the Canadiens. They still carry the rivalry in their blood despite not having the Nords anymore. Surprisingly, I find the Bruins are pretty popular there.

I think the map would be more interesting if there was some overlapping shading because I think a lot of regions (Saskatchewan, Eastern BC and the East Coast) would be close to 50-50. Even when I worked in Northern BC, I found that I was almost as likely to meet a Flames fan as I would be to meet an Oilers or Canucks fan.
The map is based on facebook "likes" for the official facebook team sites, and what part of Canada are people liking them from.
