I honestly don't know if I'll recover from that one.

"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."

I'm with you OR!!! Three more wins and Calgary brings home the Cup. Then, next season, we can all jump off of the Calgary bandwagon and resume cheering on our teams (if there is a season).
Winning or losing, as long as they're playing I'll be cheering.
I had to adopt this attitude when the Habs started losing again in the mid 90's. But hey, it's a beautiful thing to see the faces of all these Oiler fans to see Calgary go to the finals, and know Edmonton didn't even make the Western. After hearing all the cracks about the Flames over the past five years, I think it's bloody karma.
That's like ball for Canadians. Yeah, there are Canadian baseball fans, but most of us just can't be bothered. I wonder sometimes how you can sit through a whole game without flippin the channel. Actually, now that I joined a local beer league, it's starting to hold intrest. Still can't watch a whole game on telly, but I find myself yelling at some outfielder from time to time.
So, when do we battle next? ..... erm, when's the next game? brb
Hockey captures the American males intrest as does......soccer....
Thank you Peckery. I have never heard of the Flames either.
So I take it that the Flames is a Hockey team.
I would much rather watch Hockey than Basketball anyday and that goes for Soccer too.
Down here, you don't see Hockey much on TV. And I do not watch the Sports Channels. The only Sport that I half way watch, other than Flyfishing, is American Football.

May your days be filled with Merriment and May you walk in Balance with Creator.
You leave me wondering why there are more American hockey teams than Canadian.
And the next game is tomorrow night, @ Tampa.
The Flames are Calgarys team in the NHL. Considered to be one of the most overlooked teams in Canada, and for a reason. They don't win much. It's been since '89, I think. Did they ever win another cup? So don't feel too bad. But yes, we even know who your bad teams are down there.
