    OK, I'm finished what I was doing. Now where was I? Ah, yes. Great thread! I'm a big Vancouver fan, but I like all the Canadian teams. Of course, there has to be an order, so I know who to cheer for when two Canadian teams are playing each other. ;) Here's that order:

    1. Vancouver
    2. Toronto
    3. Ottawa
    4. Edmonton
    5. Calgary
    6. Montreal
    7-29. All the American teams except Detroit
    30. Detroit

    I'm very pleased with how well Vancouver is doing this year, and Ottawa as well! There's talk of both teams moving, especially Ottawa, so I'm keeping a close eye on that. We've already lost the Jets and the Nordiques. I don't want to lose more. Anyway, I think there's a good chance the cup will come home to Canada this year, which would be very nice.

    My biggest problem with hockey is those darn TV networks. TSN, and Sportsnet are both Canadian channels. What do they show? Golf! Wrestling! Who the heck cares about that? We're Canadian, eh? We want hockey! CBC shows hockey on Saturday night, but here in Ontario, it's usually Toronto followed by Edmonton. Not that it matters. Erin and I usually out on Saturday night. Would you believe I havn't seen a single Vancouver game since the Vancouver-Edmonton game on CBC on Dec 21? That's a month ago! I have to listen to the games on Vancouver local radio over the internet, and it usually lags about 2 minutes. I'm dying here!

    Well, that's my rant. In the words of Red Green, keep your stick on the ice!

    You remember the commie witch hunts in the States, right? McCarthyism and all that? Communists accused of being un-American? Canada needs that for hockey. Separate the Canadians from the wannabes. ;)

    I was kidding, Adam.

    Poor Derek. Wrestling has taken hold of him. Quick! Get this poor guy to a hockey game!

    At least you admit it's fake. ;)

    Have you ever seen a game? Try it. You might like it. It's a great sport, to watch and play.

    WHATS SO BAD WITH THE WINGS? thgis thread was actually created by a MICHIGANDER... and i do love the wings... but more importantly, i do want professional hockey in canada to go the opposite direction it is now going...
    i mean, first the nordiques, then the jets... and now there is talk about the sens dying... it will be a sad day in the nhl when all the canadian teams are gone... that CANT happen...
    as far as my team ranking goes... i do have favourites... but i dont HATE any one team.... even dallas or colorado (detroits biggest rivals)... i may not root fer them when they are playing the wings... but when they arent... i will. (little side note to tammy... HECK YEAH GO BUCS!!!) anywho... yeah.. lol

    What's so bad with the wings, you ask? Well, for starters, they eliminated my team from the playoffs last year. And, their fans call it Hockeytown, and many of the fans I've talked to are rather arrogant. So, I like to see them humbled. It just isn't right for the top team to be south of the border. :p

    yeah... but i must tell you this.... i was for sure that the nucks were going to beat us last year... i like the nucks.... they are a great up and comming team with a lot of tallent... they will be going places in the NEAR future... as far as the rest of the wings fans... i know... their immage does taint the immage of us that arent as "hardcore" as them... i am a hardcore wings fan... but i dont "over do it"... lol, those fans are a discrace to hockey... so, just to clear up the air... im not a rowdy fan... just a fan. (and i wasnt as upset as the rest of the americans when canada won.... both gold medals).

    I want Toronto to win. Not because I like them. Just because when they lose my neighbor is really scary!
