It is in the nature of the NHL playoffs that it causes this country to split into geographic factions.
You know what you call someone who pulls for whichever hockey team seems sexiest at a given moment? An American. In the parlance of your tuned-in, modern NHL executive, 26 years is not a small sample size. It’s a Costco sample size. It’s one-quarter of the time the league has existed. In the past, we have explained this to ourselves by taking a holistic view of the NHL ecosystem. Canada wins the Stanley Cup every year because half the players on every team are Canadian. The game is Canadian. The coaches are Canadian. The GM is probably from Moose Jaw.That worked after 10 years of misses. Fifteen? Sure. But when it’s up to a quarter-century, we’re beginning to speak in terms of generations.
This is distinct from rooting, mind you. Nobody has to break any oaths. You don’t need to buy a jersey. But just this once, let us not put a group hex on the tallest Canadian NHL poppy. Once this is over, Canada’s regions can go back to being vaguely suspicious and resentful of each other.Three choices here – the good one , the underdog one and the one no one west of Oakville, Ont., will be able to reconcile themselves to .

Globe_Sports What percentage of the league are Canadian players? Still a lot. So when some team wins with no Canadians on it then we can talk. Go Bruins!
Globe_Sports We still have great hockey players ya moron. The US is where they all want to play if you want to become a big star and keep more of your money. Whether you like it or not, Canada isn't the US with lights and glamour and a larger news base, to become that BIG STAR.
Globe_Sports Headline sounds racist! Shame!
Globe_Sports The editor at G&M have fcuked up brains, but then again they support the Canadian Racist Party (AKA CPC)
Globe_Sports Unbelieveable that you would allow such a phrase to be used when it represents the worst hate and racism we've seen since WWII. Shame on the
Globe_Sports
Globe_Sports Don’t even use the damn tag line. It’s not worth it.
Globe_Sports Bruins in 5
Globe_Sports I am more than ever convinced that Canada is good for hockey only with the price of tickets, not for having winning teams. Oh and don’t tell me that most best players on US teams are Canadians. That means nothing for Canada as a whole.
