JOHN WOODS / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS

The Winnipeg Jets rank lowest among those surveyed as to which team had the best chance among Canadian NHL teams to with the Stanley Cup in the future.

It matters to Canadians that there are no Canadian teams in the National Hockey League playoffs this spring, says an Angus Reid poll.

Over half of Canadian hockey fans said the will either watch less playoff hockey or not watch at all this year because no Canadian team made it, the survey found.

A majority of 54 per cent of those who normally watch the NHL playoffs say the plan to watch less this year, if any.
