Did the Québécois root for the Oilers?

So Matthew Shugart reports from Montreal. In the comment thread, he hedges a bit -- there was a suspiciously Anglo-touristy cast to the crowd at St Alexandre.

But Dave Snow -- an immersion student in Trois Rivieres -- reports that in the very belly of the habitant beast, there were no fans of the Canes. Everyone, of every class and station, was for the Oilers. Good news indeed.
