As the NHL playoffs heat up and the Stanley Cup Finals draw near, federal leaders across Canada have been sharing their predictions for who will come out on top this year. From Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to opposition leaders like Erin O’Toole and Jagmeet Singh, everyone seems to have an opinion on which team will hoist the coveted trophy.
Prime Minister Trudeau, a self-proclaimed Montreal Canadiens fan, has been vocal about his support for the team throughout the playoffs. He recently stated that he believes the Canadiens have what it takes to go all the way and win the Stanley Cup this year. Trudeau’s confidence in his team is shared by many fans across the country, who have been impressed by the Canadiens’ performance in the playoffs so far.
On the other hand, Conservative leader Erin O’Toole has thrown his support behind the Toronto Maple Leafs, who are also making a strong push for the Stanley Cup this year. O’Toole has expressed his belief that the Maple Leafs have a talented roster and a real shot at winning it all. While some may question O’Toole’s loyalty to a Toronto team as a politician from Ontario, his prediction reflects the optimism felt by many Leafs fans this season.
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has taken a different approach, choosing to support the underdog Winnipeg Jets in their quest for the Stanley Cup. Singh has praised the Jets for their resilience and determination throughout the playoffs, and believes that they have what it takes to surprise everyone and come out on top. Singh’s prediction may be seen as a bold choice, but it shows his support for a team that has fought hard to get to where they are now.
Overall, federal leaders from across the political spectrum are united in their excitement for the Stanley Cup Finals and their support for their chosen teams. Whether it’s the Canadiens, Maple Leafs, Jets, or another team altogether, one thing is for certain: hockey fever is sweeping the nation as we eagerly await the crowning of this year’s Stanley Cup champions.
