Yes the Leafs have a large following outside of the Toronto area...but so do the Habs.

Habs get cheered just as loud, if not louder in other Canadian rinks.

Habs are Canada's team, simply for the fact that they are not Canada's most hated team.

People either love the Leafs...or hate them.

People either love the Habs...or cheer for them. You'll find very few people(besides Leafs fans) that hate the Habs. Yet, you'll find tons of people, other than Habs fans, who hate the Leafs.

Thats why the Habs are Canada's team, loved by lots, hated by few.

Again, the 24 cups doesnt hurt much either.
I don't know about that. I know a lot of people who hate Montreal, and no these people aren't Maple Leaf fans. I mean c'mon, their own fanbase in their own city barely goes to their games, unless of course they're high in the standings. Fickle fans piss me off.
