Personally I like all canadian teams, I consider them to all be canada's team... Since im in a non market I feel if any canadian team whens the cup it's like canada winning not that city.

I love my Oilers, but they're far off from being Canada's team.

Calgary would never get my vote because they haven't put the numbers together that the other teams have. Ottawa is too new to think about and Toronto would be more like Canada's hated team, then loved. And Vancouver, love the team but I am sure they don't have the talent that the old Habitants have had over the years and I am sure there's no where near the Cups there either.

Yeah wtf, I'd pick Edmonton over Ottawa

I picked Vancouver, but that's because I've only been watching hockey for a couple years, so I'm not educated on all the history and stuffffffff

Right now its the Leafs. They are the most popular team in the country, you can see that by their following. When the Canucks play in the ACC and they score (which is rare), you dont hear a lot of cheers, but when the Leafs go to any other arena in Canada there are large sections of people cheering for the Leafs.

Honestly I haven't looked into the ratings this year, but over a 5 year period (a more accurate judge for ratings) I'm sure the Leafs are miles ahead of the Canucks or any other CDN team. While it might be true (and I dont know that it is) that Vancouver is drawing more viewers this year, that doesn't really mean all that much in terms of saying 'who is Canada's team'.

The only other team I could see making a case for is the Habs because they have been around as long as the Leafs and have a strong following, but even them I would say are a distant second to the Blue and White.

I know this is going to get attcked, because all of you people who dont live in the centre of the universe feel ashamed because your towns are so inferior to the Big Smoke, but try not to let it get in the way of making a solid arguement.

So what because someone says (without any actual evidence) that Vancouver is drawing more viewers that means they are Canada's team? What time frame do we use to determine that? If the Oilers draw a huge number for their game next week, do they get the crown?

In order to make an accurate judgment you have to look at a longer period of time, and ratings aren't the only thing that matters. Like I said there are more Leaf fans around the country then any other team. And the Leafs make the most money out of any team in the NHL. to me that makes them not only Canada's team, but also the NHL's team.

I think something important that you have to remember is that the Toronto area has 4 million more people than the next biggest city in Canada and that is a large number of people to draw a fanbase from so it makes it a little easier for Toronto to make money and to draw such a large audience.

No it's just funny because you said that Toronto's is Canada's team because they have more viewers

Then you basically said, "Vancouver has more viewers, but that doesn't mean anything in who is Canada's team"
