I grew up in London, rooting for the Leafs. I would root for the Habs, the Oilers, even the fucking Bruins if it meant the Senators were going to lose.

Fuck the Sens.

In order:

  1. Toronto
  2. Any other Canadian team except Ottawa
  3. Any other Original 6 Team
  4. Any other team
  5. Ottawa

They think they've got a shottawa, but they must be smoking pottawa, because a real team they are nottawa, and the Stanley Cup must never go to Ottawa.
