Conspiracy Theory # 37
If you owned a business, and your business was called ‘National Hockey League’, and it was the Stanley Cup Finals, and there was an ever-popular Canadian team and a team from the Southeast United States, which one would you want to win?
Of course, given the waning (or ‘waned’) popularity of the sport in the United States, the answer is clear: Go Carolina!
Go advertising revenue! Go American interest in Canada’s national sport!
I don’t actually believe this game is rigged (like Pro Wrestling, Figure Skating and Zimbabwean Democracy), but I have heard the theory before, and having been a Canucks fan for far too long, I already gave the theory more credibility than most.
To the conspirators: Hey, it would just be nice to see a Canadian team actually win Lord Stanley’s cup again one day. Throw us a bone once in awhile.
