America sure loves an underdog.

According to a Twitter survey, most of the United States is rooting for the Montreal Canadiens to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Finals.

BetOnline.ag, a sports betting website, geo-tracked more than 100,000 tweets, hashtags and direct keyword associations over the last four days related to Stanley Cup support such as #gobolts and #gohabsgo.

The data was used to create a U.S. map that shows which states are rooting for either the Canadiens or Lightning.
