Winnipeg Jets the Last Canadian Team in the Playoffs

[Jigger77]

You really think all of Canada cheering for the Jets?

Definitely can't vouch for all of Canada, but everyone I know is. And I'm nowhere near Winnipeg.

Personally, as a Jets fan, I don't know how any neutral Canadian fan wouldn't pull for Jets (unless they were rooting for specific players on opposing teams, ala Thorton or Subban [god knows why]).

1. New team in league, after having lost a franchise, and earning it back.
2. Young, fast, exciting team and players. Well built, didn't just go out and buy through FA.
3. Haven't really been around long enough to stick in the craw of any Canadian fan-base (recent Laine/Matthews debates aside).

At least up to the Cup Final, I would probably pull for any Canadian team outside the Leafs (mostly because of the nauseating media coverage). Once in the Finals, I would be a little conflicted, as I would want the Jets to be the first Canadian team to win the Cup back haha.
