Well, the way I see it, even during the Original 6 era (by the way the last time the Leafs ever won a cup was during the O-6 Era) only 33% of the teams were Canadian based. Nevertheless, the make up of the players was primarly Canadian. Even today, the teams tend to be canadian/american/euro in descending order so if Toronto (yes a big If I know!) is not in the playoffs, I go for the underdog, or the team with more character. Right now it's a tough choice between the Flyers & Penguins, But since I've worked in Pittsburgh before, I'll root for them.
