Blues, not Bruins, are America's team in Stanley Cup Final, map suggests originally appeared on nbcsportsboston.com

This may shock you, but it appears America is not interested in seeing Boston win another title.

The St. Louis Blues evened their Stanley Cup Final series with the Bruins at 1-1 by defeating Boston in Game 2, and according to Twitter data, most of the country was pleased by this result.

According to Twitter data, 40,000 geotagged tweets from Sunday night to Wednesday afternoon used either pro-Blues (#weallbleedblue, #stlblues) or pro-Bruins (#nhlbruins, #gobruins) hashtags.

The result was the following map, which shows only five states outside New England are rooting for Boston to beat St. Louis.

Stanley Cup Final More

That's a pretty dramatic change from the Eastern Conference final, in which 29 states favored the Bruins over the Carolina Hurricanes.

Now, the lone holdouts supporting the Black and Gold outside New England are a random collection of states: California, Hawaii, North Dakota, Louisiana and South Carolina.

We can understand California backing the B's after the Blues dispatched their San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference final. Perhaps there are some Sharks fans in Hawaii, too.

But North Dakota, which also backed the B's in the East final, remains a mystery. Maybe it's showing solidarity with other cold-weather clubs?

We shouldn't be surprised the rest of the country is pro-Blues, who have never won a Stanley Cup and are the clear Cinderella in this series. Boston's 21st-century sports teams seem pretty comfortable playing the successful villain, though.
