The Raptors have won a lone playoff series in 21 years. In the Eastern Conference. In that time, 4 Canadian teams have appeared in the SCF. 3 of them lost in 7 Games. Let me know.

[Jayvegas420]

This son of a bitch. Pops open his shrimp ring, sits in front of 50"plasma & cheers his ass off for Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin and Jason Spezza. Then has the nerve to post these Anti-Canadian racist threads.

Damn you Opie.


Also seaweed, I'm not sure of the details but I believe Tim Horton killed someone drinkin n' drivin.

I don't drink coffee that doesn't have liquor in it.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

This is a bad thread.

It has devolved into "Who is better: Canada or USA?"

We all know who wins that argument...

That was then this is know.


And besides which your comparing one team from Canada in an American dominated Sport,to 8 teams in a Canadian dominated Sport,I expect alot more out of those 8 NHL Clubs.

Packerd I am pretty sure there are only 7 teams...

Right?

Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Montreal, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary...

I can't tell if there is one missing.

Killed himself drinking and driving in St. Catharines on the QEW.

Guy had good taste in cars though, I will give him that.

No I think your right mate,Quebec Nordiques were the 8th team.

Cmon Jay...the only 50" plasma is in his SUV

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Yeah you are right. So I guess there will be an 8th team as soon as the Canadian dollar gets above $0.03 USD

Bettman hates you guys,surprised you got Winnipeg back to be honest.

The United States has been wanting to dump their trash in the Canadian wilderness for years and we finally gave in.

Touche.

I would like to see the Nordiques return though,that would be good.

[Jayvegas420]

What ever happened to Vegas' bid?

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Touche.

So sad what happened to that team. The year they move to Colorado they win a cup, make it to at least the conference finals in 5 of 6 seasons while winning another cup in either 2000 or 2001. Can't remember which. Would have been the most recent Canadian teams to win one too lol.

That is peak Canada sports.

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

What ever happened to Vegas' bid?

Think they are up there too but I think ever league hesitant to be the first in Vegas.

NFL / Oakland wants NHL to go first and vice versa.

[Jayvegas420]

I need 600 betpoints.

What's the plan for the arena in the interim? Is there one?

Just like concerts and UFC and shit?

Seems like it's a saturated market.

The way I look at it is the Habs would never have traded Roy to the Nordiques,so good chance they wouldn't have won the Cup that year if theyd stayed in Quebec.

2001 they won the second Cup.

I think it opens April 6th for a Killers concert....but yes I think it will be used for UFC, boxing, and concerts mostly. I know the Globetrotters are also playing there in the near future. The MGM and Mandalay arenas are small and terrible so this will be much better...

I didn't realize that either were so bad. I have never been to anything there. MGM usually looks nice during CBB games but I guess TV can be deceiving.
