I would like to support a canadian team but can't really decide. Thinking maybe Edmonton? I like the sound of the montreal too. How are these teams?

Edmonton is a nice up and coming team. They haven't quite got it together and need a goalie and more maturity but if they're clever with some free agent/trades they can augment that youth to be a cup contending team year in, year out.

Montreal is a bit of a mess right now, too small, not enough scoring and in a state of flux.

Guess you chose Montreal, they have a good core to build around. MaxPac, Subban, Price, ~~Scott Gomez~~, Eller, etc. They also have players with a lot of potential in juniors.

If I had to choose a Canadian team, I would have went with Sens.

Still haven't decided, just wanted to change my avatar. How do hockey crazy cities like toronto and montreal go without competitive teams in a USA dominated league? If the old Nordiques were still around they would be my team. Have run with Phoenix for years but I get annoyed with struggling markets in the US by cities that dont appreciate hockey. I like the old US tams that have storied histories, and any team from Canada because it is their primary passion.

Piss-poor management.

Edmonton's the best choice going forward. Entertainment now. Wins later.

You should watch teams and see which ones draw you in. Can't just pick a team out of a hat.

Edmonton my friend. They have a great youth setup and a new coaching staff to lead them forward.They also might be getting a new arena. Even though I am a Capitals fan, I have always enjoyed the Oliers since I was a little kid.
