Personally I don't understand why so many Flames fans want the Sens to lose. Jealousy? Envy?

Because there is nothing unlikable about that team. I'm a Leafs fan and I am okay with them winning the cup this year.

I actually like Ottawa, outside of Burrows.

I also wouldn't be upset if Montreal or Winnipeg won the cup, though both of their fanbases don't make it easy.

Cheering for a provincial rival to win the Cup is terrible though.

Hahaha! What?!

Why would any Flames fan harbour any jealousy for the Ottawa Senators?

Dude, I get that you hate pretty much every other Canadian team, but you and I would both be lying if we said that we don't envy leading 3-2 in the second round.

The Senators are the Canadian team that all the other Canadian fanbases just kind of forget about.

At present? Of course I would love for the Flames to still be playing. But I can't say that I feel much envy because the Senators are. I just don't really care.

I envy every fan who has a team still playing. That really beats cheering against your rival.

Things I envy about the Sens:

- Erik Karlsson
- Mark Stone
- Mike Hoffman
- Kyle Turris
- Derrick Brassard
- Solid goaltending
- Good defensive depth (Phaneuf, Ceci, Methot, Claesson, Wideman, etc.)
- Good coaching
- Good forward depth (MacArthur, Pyatt, Pageau, Ryan, Smith, Stalberg, Wingels, Dzingel -- all good NHLers)
- Good villains (Burrows, Neil, (to a lesser extent) Phaneuf)
- Jyrki Frickin' Jokipakka

oiler fans comparing the ducks to "Poland vs the Blitzkrieg" and calling Draisaitl "Panzer". When did it become acceptable to compare anyone to the Nazis in a positive way?

That's pretty disgusting. I'm sure Draisaitl will appreciate the comparison to the darkest period of his nation's history.

Preds and Sens, but mostly Preds, are all I'm really interested in watching. Unless the Caps can do something special. It'd be nice to see Ovie hoist one.
