Ya know what? Hockey is barely a sport in the U.S. It ranks behind football, basketball, baseball, and probably even golf. There are plenty of fans here in the U.S., but hockey just isn't nearly as big as the other sports I mentioned.
A team from the U.S. just beat a team from Canada. I'm sure every person in Canada was watching that game. But in the U.S., I wouldn't doubt it if more people were watching "Fear Factor" or "The Oreilly Factor."
I remember when the U.S. girls team played the Canadien girls team in the winter olympics a couple years ago. Was that for the championship? (I honestly don't remember). What's absolutely amazing is that I didn't even know the U.S. had a women's hockey team. But over in Canada, you guys treated it like it was the Superbowl or something.
I don't really know why I posted this. But I guess it's just because I know there are a ton of Canadiens on this message board, and I just wanted you to know that a team from the United States just beat a team from Canada, and most of us don't even care.
Chew on that.
Oh and by the way, I didn't even know there was an NHL team in Florida. Now I'll be honest and say that I don't know if most NHL players come from Canada or not. So, you may have one on me there.
EDIT: Is it Canadian or Canadien?

You guys aren't really that bad after all.

The MVP was from PEI (Prince Edward Island) which is in Canada. The second leading scorer on the team was from Quebec, and the reason you guys scored that game winning goal (Lecalvier) is from Quebec.
Your goalie is from Russia.
Don't you worry, we still OWN hockey.

You'd best keep that cup in an air conditioned room, it wasn't made to withstand 100 degree temperatures.

| That's a pretty ignorant thing to say as well. I'm sure 90% of the beautiful women you have in the US are imported, just like your hockey players. I have no complaints about Canadian women. They definately aren't fat trailer trash like most of your US women.  (Just thought I would throw an ignorant comment out to match yours) |
Yea, I was just joking regardless had to throw it in to spice up the convo. I know a few hot canadian chick's though.
