Ummm... just the second time Canada has embarrassed themselves? Did you not hear about Vancouver last year? Or Montreal. Both rioting in the streets... I dont think Canada has as nearly nice a reputation as you think. When I think Canada I think stuck up, dirt bag Frenchie... You can thank the Hans fans for that.

No I would say Canada has done plenty to embarrass itself... Its just no-one in America cares so its not a big issue here.

I have a good story about "Superfan Eric". A couple years ago, the Flyers Fan Club invited me to talk about the Pelle Lindbergh book at one of their events at the Skatium.

I did that and then took questions from the people who were there. Somebody asked me whether I thought today's game was better or worse than the 1980s.

I said it's better in some ways, not nearly as good in others. I said that something about today's game I don't like is the staged fights and, on a related note, I didn't like the way the instigator rule took away from the ability of one teammate to stand up for another.

All the sudden, the Superfan guy jumps to his feet and gives me a one-person standing ovation after sitting there impassively for the past 45 mins while I was talking about the book.

Where? I did my undergrad at U of R. I have a soft spot for Molson (Canadian and Export, not that Golden crap) and Labatts from my time up there. Genny was the family beer, drank by all my relatives in central PA, long before I moved to Rochester...my grandfather has a can with him in his coffin, courtesy of my Uncle I never drank much Genny when I lived up there though.
