I think the fact that news about Canadian teams not making the playoffs has turned into a "Good! I hate other Canadian teams." discussion is telling.

This is news regardless of how one feels about the other Canadian teams. It is news because it is bad for SN and there are, as has been alluded to above, quite a few people that just like to cheer for any Canadian team to win and the cup to come back to Canada.

I'm not saying it is weird or unjustified, I tend to agree for the most part, screw the other Canadian teams except the Flames. That being said a part of me does like the fervor and passion that Canadian fans have for the playoffs.
