I suppose the logic is that you lost to the Stanley Cup winner to make yourself feel better. Whoopee! At this point, at least up here, most hockey fans would put aside their hate for another Canadian team and want them to win instead of yet another American team.
I really can't stand Ottawa, the team and many of their fans. But I'd rather have them win than Philly, Jersey, Minnesota, Tampa or Dallas. Given the choice between Vancouver and Ottawa, it'll be Vancouver for exactly those things I said about Ottawa. The lesser of two evils.
