Although maybe because I don't live in Calgary anymore, I am happily cheering for the Jets. Representing a city from the Canadian prairies does it for me. It has been a very long time since the Jets were any kind of rival for the Flames.

I don’t know. Crap like that is nowhere near my radar.
I like Fleury, he knows Jets fans like him too, and can do a cartwheel in his gear. Oh yeah, also a hell of a goalie and obviously a great teammate.
I like Engelland, he was a good character guy here, and fought 2 Canucks. I met him, he is awesome. Also, very underrated player. You see his compete, getting sticks in the way in the home plate area and how he fights for space in the crease? See what happened to the Flames when he left?
Both of these guys play for Vegas but sure are Canadian.
Other guys on Vegas with good stories, but those are my favourites.
If they win, I am good. I like them more than some other city just because it’s in Canada. I know they have Canadian players too. All teams do.
Having said that, if the Jets go on, I like them over TB and Was.
