This is the first time in 17 years that Vancouver has made it to Stanley Cup. I am kind of proud to admit that I shed a tear as Bieksa scored the winning goal.
never been more proud to be a Canuck!

Agreed, and lets say that someday, (not in our lifetime probably) that the Leafs make it to the Stanley Cup final, does anyone actually think that people in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton,Ottawa or Montreal would be cheering for them as "Canadas team"? Doubtful!
I am wondering what you mean by "Canuck".
Do you mean the nickname for all Canadians or are you meaning the NHL team specifically ?
Are you originally from Vancouver ?
Who to root for in the final ?
I am not one who does the 'cheer for a Canadian team' thing once the Leafs are out, but because it has been so long since the Cup was won by a Canadian team I have been cheering for Canadian teams for the past few years(the only exception was Ottawa).
It's not just a Leafs thing. Toronto, Torontonians and anything Toronto is disliked (this is a generalization) across much of the country, similar to the way so many Americans dislike New Yorkers and New York teams. Part jealousy of the largest city and financial and cultural centre of the country and part dislike (understandably so) of the arrogance of the people that come from there who feel the universe revolves around them (another generalization).
Those people who wear Leafs jerseys are Leafs fans, not fans of a team just because they are from Canada.
Yeah. It would seem weird to be more proud now as a Canadian than when we won the gold medal at the Olympics.In regards to the Thread title.
I think you mean a Canucks fan... or are you really an NHL'ER ?

How random is that?
Given that Vancouver is the only Canadian team left in the playoffs, let's give them the right to temporarily be known as Canada's team.
I say temporarily because everyone knows the Habs are Canada's real team.
Go Canucks Go!
Number of Stanley Cup banners hanging in the Bell Centre.
But for now, Go Canucks Go!!!!!!
Just because Montreal used to be a good team (very average for a long time now) does not mean that they are adored by all.
No one says the Yankees are America's team. They are mostly despised outside of their territory same as the Drabs.

Lots of people. Fans from the Big Bad Bruins days. But then, there's no accounting for taste.
Personally, I don't care for either team.
That number will not change for a couple of decades.
Me !
That have been my second team since the days of Bobby Orr, my alltime favorite player.
