I'm with Booger, Red Wings in 2005!!
That having been said:
Amazing how the American fans don't make the outcome about "America" vs. "Canada"............
Had Calgary won, I don't think there would be a lot of "at least there were some Americans on the team" being heard.
I don't give a rat's ass whether the winner or loser was Canadian or American. I rooted for Tampa Bay in the Finals because I didn't like the way Calgary played. But their type of game is a Brian Sutter trademark. If you can't beat 'em, go out and try to hurt 'em. And if that doesn't work, then whine about the officiating. He coached that way in Chicago years ago and nothing's changed. I don't have an anti-Canadian team bias. Once the Wings were out, I was really rooting for Toronto. They haven't won in close to 40 yrs. But they'll do it eventually. The Wings waited 42 years between wins, so Toronto can wait another year or two.
With TB winning, Dave Andreychuk (sp?) a former Maple Leaf, finally got to hoist the Cup after 22 yrs in the league. You have to be happy for him. I know I am.
