Hey, those of you who are Canadians on this thread. I don't know much about hockey and the Canadian mystique of it all, but is there a division between Canadians who root for American teams, compared to Canadian teams? For us baseball fans, there were only two Canadian options: Montreal or Toronto. Living in Chicago, I never met a Canadian baseball team fan. But things are different in hockey, there are so many Canadian and American teams. If someone who lives in Toronto loves Philadelphia are they shunned? Just wondering how all this works.
