Toronto Maple Leafs fans may be devastated by the results of a surprising new poll. According to Hockey Unplugged’s Axel Williams (last updated 10/11/24), the long-standing rivalry between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens has been one of the most iconic in NHL history. Both teams have impressive legacies, with the Maple Leafs boasting 13 Stanley Cups and the Canadiens holding 24. Though neither has won recently, their fan bases remain passionate.

A recent poll by 338 Canada aimed to determine the most popular NHL team in Canada, and the results have left Leafs fans disappointed. Surprisingly, the Canadiens took the top spot, leaving the Maple Leafs in second place. The final poll results were:

– Canadiens: 23%
– Maple Leafs: 20%
– Oilers: 12%
– Canucks: 9%
– Flames: 7%
– Jets: 7%
– Senators: 5%

While it’s not shocking that two of hockey’s biggest teams are leading, the fact that the Senators rank last may raise eyebrows. Regardless, these figures are sure to spark intense debates among hockey fans.
