I'm not endorsing the actions of the rioters, but you will never understand the Canadian's passion for Hockey. From the day a Canadian is born, Hockey is in your blood. Yeah, I guess I just see these sports as games. Even if I am overly passionate about something, it doesn't make sense to riot over it. I just hope my team plays better next year no matter how heartbroken I am. | ||

Pretty ironic too seeing that hockey is Canada's sport and they lost lopsidedly to an Fixed that for you. ^_^ But yeah, 16 million unique viewers from TV alone (disregarding live streams and multiple viewers per household) in a country with approximatly 36 million people in it is a ridiculous number. Hockey truely is embedded in our culture. | ||

Bud, the Bruins have almost all Canadian players : http://bruins.nhl.com/club/roster.htm?type=roster 17 Canadians, 3 Americans, 3-5 others. The Canucks Roster: http://canucks.nhl.com/club/roster.htm 17 Canadians, 5 Americans, and a bunch of swedes and others. In Short 85%+ of the people in the finals were Canadian. Also the majority of American posts in this thread have been complete trash with almost no intellectual backing, and a considerable number of generalizations. | ||
