As an Old SOB, I was around to watch the O-6 in the 60's. And, of course, the NHL had TWO Canadian based teams. As a rule, Canadian Anglophones all cheered for the Leafs, whereas Canadian Francophones invariably were backers of le Club de hockey Canadien.
That generation hasn't quite died out, give us time, but, some of dear old Dad's loyalties, undoubtedly, has passed generationally.
