I guess my brother in law noticed my look of disgust and they're cheering for the Oilers because they want a Canadian team to win the cup.
I guess I had an even more visceral reaction because asked me why I'm not cheering for the Oilers with the Flames out and I responded that I would rather insert needles in my eyes then cheer for the team to the North.
They then asked if I was cheering for Ottawa and I told them that I basically want all of the Canadian teams out.
They then asked about the Leafs because they're a young team and so much fun to watch.
So I took my dinner and ate outside because . . . disgusting.

I have a cousin who claims to be a Ducks fan but yesterday told me she's cheering for the Oilers to win because in the playoffs she cheers for Canada. It makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Cheering for a team to win because they're Canadian is the stupidest and most annoying thing on the planet. Who gives a rats arse where the team is from? Do American fans cheer for the other American teams when their team is out? Probably not.
Fake patriotism at its finest.
Screw the other Canadian teams. I wish them nothing but suffering. Especially the Oilers.
