He's by no means a diehard, and the Flames are his team, but he will cheer for any remaining Canadian team to win the cup.

Ya this is true. Most people I know will cheer the last Canadian team. I've been accused of being unpatriotic in the past when people find out I'm cheering passionately AGAINST a Canadian team that they like. I avoid these debates now because most of these people can't name 3 players on the team they're cheering for so their condemnation of me seems so dumb when I can name that team's top 15 prospects. I only know two or three actual hard core fans in 'real life'.
