(Announcer says words on screen) >> Dawna: the puck drops this afternoon for game one of the nhl's western conference finality. The edmonton oilers are in texas taking on the dallas stars, and they're the last canadian team with a chance at the stanley cup. I talked to a few canucks, jets, and leafs fans who say no way, no chance, they are not going to cheer for the oilers. So are the oilers really canada's team? Heather yurek-west looks at the state of the bandwagon from calgary. >> Reporter: you'd have to go back to 1993, the year dinosaurs ruled the box office and whitney houston topped the charts, to find the last time lord stanley's cup was raised by a canadian team. >> There's a growing number of canadian hockey fans, myself included, that haven't been alive to see a canadian team lift the stanley cup. >> Reporter: but maybe 2024 is canada's year. The edmonton oilers keeping hope alive. >> Yeah, I mean, McDAVID and the boys are making a run for it; it's awesome. >> Reporter: the oil has its hometown support, but its bandwagon is growing with every round. Even vancouver fans are jumping on. >> I am a huge canucks fans, but at this point we're rallying behind the canadian team. >> For sure, yeah,. >> Why not. >> Any canadian team. Just want to bring the cup back to canada. >> Reporter: in calgary, the heart of enemy territory... >> All: let's go, oilers! >> Reporter: ...you see a lot of orange and blue. >> We've been blessed. We've been a full house every single night for the oilers' games. It's our sport. So it's very important. Canadians want to see a canadian team get through. >> Reporter: among the oilers squad, 16 out of 20 players call this country home. But before edmonton can again be the city of champions and make canada proud, it will need to get past dallas, and round three will be a tough fight. >> A lot of it is rest versus rust. The oilers are coming off of that intense seventh game against vancouver, so they might be feeling a little

bit beat up after that; where dallas has been off for almost a week after downing colorado in six. >> Reporter: oilers fans still have a long way to go. But the flames, well, they didn't even make the playoffs. And of the four teams left in the hunt for stanley, only one canadian team remains. So for this year and this year only... Go, oilers, go. Dawna. >> Dawna: you did it. Heather yurek-west in calgary, thanks. >>> That is "global national" for this thursday. I'm dawna friesen. Tonight's your canada is this old family farm in ajax, ontario. Thanks for watching. Farrah nasser will be at the anchor desk tomorrow, and I'll see you again in a little bit. Bye-bye. [ ] within the hour?
