The St. Louis Blues are in the midst of their deepest playoff run since 2001 and they want Canada to get in on the action.

The team posted a fairly convincing video on Friday — to the tune of quintessential Canadian band The Tragically Hip's Looking For A Place To Happen — that detailed several reasons for Canadians to consider temporarily changing allegiance.

It's an understatement to say Canadian NHL fans have had a disappointing 2015-16 season, as all seven franchises missed the post-season for the first time since 1970. However, the Blues know that they wouldn't be where they are without a little help from their neighbours to the North.

Their plea included highlighting the franchise's Canadian content. The Blues have the most Canadian players on their roster of the remaining playoff teams with 18, they share a general manager with Team Canada in Doug Armstrong, and head coach Ken Hitchcock won Olympic gold with Canada.

They're also "nice," but take a look at their video below if you need a little more persuasion.

St. Louis takes on the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference final in Game 1 Sunday at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBC television and the CBC Sports app.
