- The Islanders are neat and all but nobody cares about the Islanders
- Montreal winning would please Montreal and the many Montreal fans across Canada, and we could join in their joy for a day, or two. It would also upset Toronto, which is a positive.
- Tampa winning would please no one and primarily upset Calgary, clearly the worst option
- Islanders winning would also please no one, but upset no one, it will be like the Stanley Cup was never awarded at all (maybe good or bad)
- It's nice to see elite guys who have been at it forever finally get a cup (Price, Weber)
- Montreal is clearly the best city in Canada
- French Canadians can be a delight
- The notion that they riot after wins is funny

And also, the Islanders winning would definitely upset Leafs fans (pajama boy).
That being said, definitely want the Habs to take The Cup home (to Montreal, not Canada).
