Ottawa.....1927 last title.

Washington DC..1992

Nashville...1997 not titles since the Titans moved there. (also Predators founded in 1998)

Los Angeles(Anaheim), Bay area (Golden State), Cleveland, Boston, San Antonio, Pittsburgh have all had teams win titles just since 2014.

So....Ottawa has had a 65 year wait longer than any other city currently with a team in the playoffs.

So that is why I am rooting for them....and for 2 other reasons: Canada has not had a team win the hockey title or any title since 1993 when Montreal won the Stanley Cup, and the Blue Jays won the World Series. So, go go Oh Canada. Also, they are playing the team from Shittsburgh...and we know we want them to lose.
