84% of US and All of Canada are rooting for the Oilers to win the Stanley Cup
The map below, courtesy of BetOnline.ag, is based on geotagged X data from last Thursday evening (when the matchup was set) to now, tracking fan hashtags in every state and each Canadian province. All series odds, props, futures appear here and below.
For example, #LetsGoOilers or #TimeToHunt, as well as keyword phrases like "I'm rooting for the Oilers, "I'm rooting for Edmonton" or "I'm rooting for the Panthers." Over 140,000 tweets were tracked.
As you can see from the map, the vast majority of NHL fans in both the US and Canada are rooting for the Oilers to beat the Florida Panthers.
There are several reasons for this... the Florida Panthers won it all in 2024 and fans rarely want to see a back to back winner, in addition, the Florida fanbase doesn't extend much outside South Florida.
The Oilers, on the other hand, have a much larger fan base... in addition, Edmonton has not won a Stanley Cup in 35 years. On top of that, a Canadian team has not won since 1993 (over 30 years).
Given Florida won last year, this has many US fans saying they wouldn't mind seeing a Canadian team finally take the cup back.. but not all of them. As you can see there is a regional component, with many fans in the South still rooting for the US team with an "anyone but Canada" sentiment. There are also several Stars fans around Texas that would like to see their loss avenged.
And while not all Canadian fans are on board with the Oilers being the de facto "Canada's team" (especially Canucks and Flames fans) most NHL fans north of the border still want to see the cup return there.
Here's the breakdown:
Oilers - 42 states, 10 provinces
Panthers - 8 states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas)
