Nicky, here we go again, Quebec isn't really part of Canada so votes from there can't count in a "Canadian" poll.

Go Leafs Go!

Plus the last line of the song proclaims the Leafs are Canadas team - how can you argue with a song?

[flyingillini]

It is pretty much common sense that the Leaf's are Canadians team. The Leaf's are what every Canadian boy dreams of being a part of when they are growing up. The Canadiens are a third rate team compared to the Leaf's. God Bless the Leaf's!

Illini, thanks for being the no nonsense type of American we need on the forum.

Ther is no other American posters opinion that matters to me as much as yours.

Merry Christmas pal.

[Nicky Santoro]

Actually Nicky, when I think of great hockey I think of Gretzky, Messier, Coffey and the rest of the Edmonton Oilers, the best hockey team that ever existed.

I don't give any of those Canadiens frenchies any thought.

The thread wasn't about you, it was for Willie Bee - he and I share the passion of the Leafs nation.

No Mames guey Nicky! I am just stating what is common sense to the common American Folk. The Leaf's are Canada! Am I wrong? It is what I have thought my whole life as a Hockey fan.

[tullamore]

Nicky and Plommer who will do better in the Olympics for hockey, Canada or Quebec?

My money (as Nickys') would be on Canada.

Illiniglick you are correct, pay no attention to Nicky, he speaks for Quebec, I speak for Canada.

[Nicky Santoro]

especially when Canada outnumbers quebec about 4-1 ratio.. who wins more medals every year in olympics, US or Canada?? US because they have 10x more people.. why does China beat US in olympics each year in medals?? cause China has 4x more people than US.. it's common sense..

Canada has 4x more people than Quebec.

[betplom]

especially when Canada outnubers quebec about 3-1 ratio.. who wins more medals every year in olympics, US or Canada?? US because they have 10x more people.. why does China beat US in olympics each year in medals?? cause China has 4x more people than US.. it's common sense..

Canada has 3x more people than Quebec.

Quebec has 4x as many strippers/strip joints than Canada, how can that be?

[rjt721]

This is the greatest Habs team in 30 years. Wait... that was last year.

This is the greatest Habs team in 31 years!

There is no way Montreal is Canada's team. Most of Canada can't stand Quebec. Bunch of French speaking fukks. Different culture, might as well be a different country.

Toronto
Calgary
Edmonton
Ottawa
Montreal

In that order. Only people in Montreal like the Canadiens. Get a clue.

The fact that Vancouver never made the list makes me believe you know exactly what you're talking about.

read all the websites. read all the polls. i am not makign this up.. i am only the mesenger.

according to every website.. the fans across canada unanimously voted habs as canada's team.which is the correct choice, and i'm not a habs fan whatsoever. only as a kid.

[rjt721]

Winnipeg Jets are clearly Canada's team.

[keyboarding]

The fact that Vancouver never made the list makes me believe you know exactly what you're talking about.

I've never met a Vancouver fan outside of Vancouver, and even then you have to look pretty hard. Only time people even pretend to like Vancouver is playing NHL videogames because Luongo is always 99 overall rating or something ridiculous.

That is ridiculous. Toronto fans are everywhere and they are idiotic die hards. They not only rival Canada or NHL in terms of biggest fans, they rival all major teams across all sports.

Fans in Calgary are fukking crazy, too. I barely consider Montreal a Canadian team, with their stupid "ole ole ole" and all that fukking nonsense. A real Canadin would never do faggy soccer chants.

The 1995 Quebec referendum was the second referendum to ask voters in the Canadian province of Quebec whether Quebec should secede from Canada and become an independent state

Only a fukking retard would consider anything inside Quebec to be truly Canadian.

I agree completely, Leafs teams are crap and they still fill the buildings across Canada with fans.

[DwightShrute]

The Leaves better watch out or they might actually make the playoffs

[tullamore]

I thought the Medicine HAt Tigers were Canada's team.

[betplom]

The Leaves better watch out or they might actually make the playoffs

Thats the thing, even if they don't they will still be more popular than any other NHL team.

This drives small fanbase NHL teams like Vancouver fvcking crazy.

No shit, Boston owns their pick.

actually that couldn't be further from the truth.

A lot of people (myself included) hate them because the CBC always showed them on HNIC years ago. No matter how terrible they were and they were terrible, if Montreal was playing a meaningful game the same night, the Leaves were in last place, Toronto will be on.

1967

Brian Burke was the best deal you guys made since Wendy Clarke (the best Leaf ever)

What year did the Canucks last win the Cup?

Oh yeah, thats right.

Dwight, there was a reason CBC made the decision to show Leaf games over Habs games, the Leafs are obviously more important to them.

Why are the Leafs more important to the CBC?
Because they have a much larger fan base and will get better ratings showing the Leafs.
Better ratings (more viewers) = more money from advertising.

I'll admit the habs are more important in Quebec then the Leafs, but Quebec is not as important to the CBC as Ontario, again, numbers.


Dwight, I thought an American wannabe like yourself would understand the concept of supply and demand.

[keyboarding]

Not a coincidence, people.

thanks for the history lesson but I already knew that. Larger market, I get it. I was simply expressing a western Canadian perspective.

You are way off base about the "american wannabe" description because I love Canada and the States as well as other countries and it's not a competition or an either or thing.

Nothing like a little hockey talk to get the blood boiling a bit.

So basically you are pissed at the CBC but choose to direct your anger at the Leafs.

You guys on the west coast are sharp, no doubt.

basically yes!

Add in the federal elections that are already decided before we get to vote also and you can see the animosity towards the east and mainly Toronto. It is what it is. I bet you would feel similar if you grew up in BC.

To balance things out Ontario could ship a few million of our 11 million citizens to reside in Vancouver, that would make you guys feel alot better - wouldn't it?

You guys would get a chance at having a bit of political influence with double your current population and the transplanted Ontarians could enjoy the BC rain.

Sounds like a win-win situation.

PS: I'm 100% certain we have 3 million Sikhs that we will gladly send your way.

[betplom]

Dwight, not just larger, Ontario's population is more than all the western provinces and territories combined (BC, AB, SK, MB).

You guys are bitter about because there are so few of you?

Start fvcking, solve the problem.
