The Ottawa Senators may be the only Canadian team left in the run for the Stanley Cup but that doesn鈥檛 mean all Canadians are jumping on the Senators鈥 bandwagon.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday that all Canadians would be getting behind the capital city鈥檚 team in the hopes that they would bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada. The last time a Canadian team won the trophy was 24 years ago in 1993 when the Montreal Canadiens beat the Los Angeles Kings.

The bowl of the Stanley Cup was created in England but the trophy was commissioned in Canada in 1892 and spends most of the season in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.

鈥淲e鈥檙e all happy to support Ottawa right now,鈥 said Trudeau during a news conference in Brampton, Ont. 鈥淓ven Torontonians and Montrealers can agree on this particular one.鈥

Turns out, that isn鈥檛 quite the case. If Trudeau accomplished anything with his statement, it was a rare agreement between Toronto Maple Leafs fans and Montreal Canadiens fans that many would not be supporting the Senators.

J.M. Weightman, from Peterborough, Ont., said he wouldn鈥檛 be supporting the Senators, instead cheering for the Nashville Predators whose blue line has featured ex-Montreal Canadiens defenceman P.K. Subban.

鈥淓verybody seemed to be behind the Leafs (during their run), but nobody wants to be behind Ottawa I guess,鈥 Weightman told CTV Ottawa.

Some Canadian hockey fans have equated the lack of support to how young the organization is, with the modern Senators entering the NHL in 1992. Alternatively, the Maple Leafs celebrated their centennial this year while the Canadiens celebrated their own in 2009.

鈥淢any Canadians have followed the Montreal Canadiens and the Leafs for many, many years,鈥 said Dennis Lefebvre, a hockey fan.

Fans on Twitter were quick to pipe up with their reasons for not supporting the Senators鈥 run for the Cup, including one Leafs fan who said, 鈥淭here are two teams I cheer for; the Maple Leafs and whomever is playing against the Senators鈥.鈥

But according to Chase Kell, a Yahoo sports editor, the Senators are facing a tough test with the Pittsburgh Penguins and have a lot to prove but thinks the team can pull through.

鈥淭hey are embracing this underdog role,鈥 said Kell. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 think you can count them out just yet.鈥

And Senators fans aren鈥檛 counting their team out either. Many have blasted social media with excitement as their team heads into the eastern conference finals.
