meh - there are more canadians playing for the Ducks than the Sens. This canuck is rooting for the ducks. This whole "canada's team" is just plain crazy, what do a bunch of swedes who are currently being mercenaries for team sens have to do with representing canada? Nothing. Face it - with a few exceptions, none of the players care what city their team is from (nor should they) or from what country and the owners only care that their team's current hometown pays for their rink gives them tax breaks and provides enough fan support. The players don't play for their city fans - they play for themselves and their teammates. Nothing wrong with that, it's the way it should be. This whole city/team relationship is just BS that the teams promote to keep the seats filled. Anyway - don't beleive everything you read in the ms media - canadian HOCKEY fans will root for the team they like for their own reasons, not the Sens because they are from a canadian city.
(Can't believe I rooting for a team with the stupidest name in sports, but 'quack quack go Ducks quack'.)
