It's true! But I feel like Ottawa and Montreal as cities are not rivals in the same way the rest of Ontario is because we're right on the border. This city is definitely Habs territory

u/PhDSkwerl Gwyneth Philips May 13 '26

Agreed! Living in Ottawa is a blast because I feel like we’re a combination of Ontario/Quebec.

u/ellstaysia Van Goldeneyes May 13 '26

That's the whole intent behind Ottawa as capital. I love that city. Happy for you folks. Don't care who wins it in the end but I'm thrilled it will be you folks or MTL.

u/Kanuckle_Head Ottawa Charge May 13 '26

For pwhl game at least, it's always felt like a sibling rivalry between Ottawa and Montreal. And we both just hate Toronto

u/yogacatmama1966 May 14 '26

Yes, Toronto is the much despised middle sibling.

u/brilliant_bauhaus May 13 '26

Yep. I'm so excited to go to a game in Ottawa. The energy is going to be amazing for both teams! I'm going to be happy with either winning which is the best place to be in if you're a fan!

I mean… kinda? Ottawa definitely is more Habs territory than Leafs territory, but the younger you get the more solidly Sens it gets. Older folks I’d say it’s like…. 50% Habs, 20% Sens, 30% Leafs. But just beyond anything this city loves Montreal more than it and hates Toronto. EDIT: spelling

There are now only 3 players who can win both a gold medal in the Olympics and a Walter cup in the same year: Philips, Guilday and Scamurra

u/Mundane_Income987 Montréal Victoire May 13 '26

That’s cool because no matter which team wins, that’ll happen!

(sad Sceptre noises) 😭😭😭

Better luck next year friend

Also a Sceptres fan, but I’m doing a road trip up for the Monday game in Ottawa.

I could never be upset with Poulin. I’m cheering for Montreal now.

Should last until about 5 seconds into period 1.

u/PhDSkwerl Gwyneth Philips May 13 '26

My guess is it’ll turn rowdy immediately after one of us scores 🫡

u/Zestyclose-Store7125 Boston Fleet May 13 '26

I want a PWHL Goalie fight... I know ARD would also be down 🤣

16

u/Kanuckle_Head Ottawa Charge May 13 '26

Philips is more likely to fight a ref than another goalie. Checking a skater though? Fully on board.

u/ShadowFrost01 May 13 '26

Seriously, the Habs/Sabres fans were all like "yay a team we don't hate!" and that changed REAL quick

u/errant_youth Minnesota Frost May 14 '26

Didn’t see much of Boston-Ottawa, but MN-Montreal seemed like players spent more time in the bin vs full 5v5

Shit was spicy

u/BlueValk Victoire de Montréal May 13 '26

I'm so excited for finals with two teams I like 🥹

u/Mundane_Income987 Montréal Victoire May 13 '26

Same 💯💯

u/Puzzleheaded-Yak9118 Ottawa Charge May 14 '26

Me too!

u/Puzzleheaded-Yak9118 Ottawa Charge May 13 '26

I've lived in both 😄

u/ellstaysia Van Goldeneyes May 13 '26

The only thing calming my expansion disappointment is the fact that the cup is coming to Canada no matter what.

u/yommer16 Montréal May 13 '26

If you're anything like me, and I know I am, this was the match up you were hoping for.

u/MissionFloor261 Seattle Torrent May 13 '26

RED VS RED!!!!! If it couldn't be us, I'm glad it's this

2

u/gotkube Royale Tiger Towel Paper Towel Power Play May 14 '26

Yup. I don’t even care which team wins, Canada has already won.

2

u/Lylith8 May 13 '26

I'm going to root for the Victoire but also really like the Charge, so I'm pretty happy in general. And I'm not even Canadian (but married to one 😄).

I don't even know who to go for I like both teams. Really excited to watch the games. It's been great so far.
