Do they really? Any source? Not that I don't believe you I'm just curious on the details of it.

Sorry, I don't buy this one. You would rather us cheer for american teams? ummm no? The only way that can be justified is if the yank team has more johnny canucks on it that uncle sams or any other fictional country-character. Hockey is Canada's game. The Cup belongs here. Yes you've got the Strapping Canadian Lads that are fighting for it for a team like Pittsburgh, but where do we want the parade? Plus, in a series like 04's with Calgary, it was close enough that we were just beat. If Calgary becomes the best, that means they were better than every team in the east... and if we gave them a fight, it gives us the hope that we could be considered second best... we could have made it to the western conference final if we hadn't faced them right away. Not necessarily true, but this is why we cheer them on. So that if we lost, it was to the eventual best team, making us possibly the second best. Although, to hear any albertan fan brag, yea.... that'd suck. Maybe them losing in the finals is all we really want.
