Five (5) Canadian teams. Not bad.
I started following hockey when there were only six teams in the entire league (and no American players).
My Penguins are looking really bad bumbling, stumbling into the playoffs. Three of the top four defensemen are injured. I’m hoping for at least one win over the Rags (can we get them drunk before the games?)
Others I like (more like want)
Nashville over Chicago
Islanders over Washington
Montreal over Ottawa (but I like Ottawa too, Hamburgler!)
Anaheim over Winnepeg (Simon Depres)
