I'm not exactly sure where this thread took a dive towards US/Canada debate...
But, um...having lived in BOFE countries, I can say they bofe have greats things and bad things...
And seriously, how is this related to hockey again? We have to admit that USA's hockey development programs has improved by leaps and bounds given the number of American-born players currently playing and incoming to the League that are actually very good. It makes sense that hockey was a predominantly Canuckian sport prior given that most of Canada is enveloped in the white frozen stuff for 11 months of the year.
And well, frankly...with so many white people, you gotta be better in sports than the
's in SOMETHING since the latter dominates baseball, basketball, football...and that had more to do with Americans bringing over all the 's they can carry back then.
Canada should've done that.

Why 5? ‘Cause 10 would make the Man nervous!
Reason #5: It’s cold out there.
Reason #4: They scared to get their gold tooth knocked out.
Reason #3: Don’t want to be around white guys with sticks.
Reason #2: Don’t want to be around a white guy with a mask.
…and the #1 Reason Black Guys Don’t Play Hockey: Don’t feel the need to dominate yet another sport.

domcha is allowed to bet on his home team since he has nothing to lose. And I'm not really worried about arguing semantics over the technical duration of the 8 yr bet because.
A. Detroit will lift a cup before Toronno.
B. Babs will be fired before his contract terms out.

It's ok, I understand the Canadian inferiority complex. I've watched many games on Canadian feeds this year. I constantly see Canadian commercials where they mention their neighbors to the south because their obsessed with us. Watch some hockey on US TV and you'll never hear an American advertiser talk about Canada in their commercials.
Feel free to go on strike, the people of Denmark have already agreed to replace you

Prior to that we were discussing how every team in the finals employed a Finn.
And the Denmark comment, totally plagiarized.

Okay folks...with some investigative joournalism...are you ready for this?!??...I found out why Babcock signed in Toronto.
It's because of the Summer Solstice Orgy planned in Toronto's Trinity Bellwoods Park with 1000 people RSVPing so far: Summer solstice orgy planned for Trinity Bellwoods Park | Metro
Y'all heard it right here.

#1 most important thing in hockey? superstition
I realized this tonight as a culmination of watching this past 3 championship Blackhawks seasons. All the other factors are arbitrary and unimportant.
and oh yeah,

Sharp, Teuvo, and Vermicelli on the 3rd line is pretty good. And Shaw, Freddy Kruger, and Desjardins on the 4th? I'll take that.
3 more wins.
