agreed. canadian teams have a bigger rivalry with eachother than with any american team. Van/Calgary, Calgary/Edmonton, those are the big rivalries. Until the playoffs, we dont ever really hate any american team with the passion that we consistently hate the other canadian teams.
If that happened, candian games would be just as well attended, canadian fans just as passionate about their hockey, and americans still wouldnt give a **** (at least for the most part). I mean hell, most of buffalo's fans are from ontario.
