I've never been forced to watch a Hab's "out of the playoffs" season ending game instead of the BOA Flames playing the Oilers for one of the last playoff spots.
That happened with the Leafs. I remember at the first intermission the guys at the media desk said "Oilers and Flames fans please stop calling the station, we'll switch over as soon as the second period starts".
Just a single example that sticks out. A lot of old boys in Ontario still think of the Leafs as "English Canada's team".
Which is why their last Stanley Cup needs to pass out of living memory.
