Everyone loves an underdog.
Calling all hockey bandwagoners: it’s the Stanley Cup finals!
The Edmonton Oilers just made the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in18 years.
Everyone loves an underdog.
I’m not sure you’re aware of how wild that is.
THAT’S OLDER THAN ME.
It’s literally ournational sport.
Like, 42.5%, to be specific, compared to the US with 28.2% at #2.
We dominating out here.
Wouldn’t Canadians want to represent their country?
There’s this little thing calledtaxes, and you know how they’relower in the US?
So that explains that.
But Instagram user@carotorontotook this a step further, explaining a theory that blew my mind.
She predicts that the Edmonton Oilers would beat the Florida Panthers, based on very specific information.
“Last year, the Vegas Golden Knights was the team with themost Canadianson their roster.
Tampa’s back-to-back cup run years?
The most Canadians on their roster.
Same with Colorado and same with St. Louis,” she explains.
Edmonton, with 15 Canadians on their roster.
This beats Dallas and Florida tied in second place, with 10 Canadians each.
(Which is still above average for the league, I’ll have you know.)
So I don’t know about you, but I’m a fan of these odds.
It’s also quite cute that the team with the most Canadians is actually a Canadian team.
It’s giving… Canadian pride.
I guess we’ll have to just see what happens!
