I didn't see your post until I finished responding to Burning Down.

You're right though that is a little backwards. Though when they had the Final Four a few months ago, when VCU lost they had riots in Richmond (just down the road from me). If I was a Canuck fan, the only thing I should be looting is the Stanley Cup.

I didn't care about Bruins or Canucks but I just didn't want a Canadian team to win

Disappointed to hear that Vancouver's full of sore losers. I'd hoped for better.

Ummm yeah. Most of the players on the Bruins are Canadian. In fact, the majority of NHL players are Canadian.

45 percent are Canadian, Europe tallys 40 percent and Americans make up the other 15 percent.

True.

I'll make a prediction though. Boston has won, in the past 10 years, 7 championships in one sports team or another. We had parades everytime and I don't think I've ever seen a crowd like this. Reports coming in now say there was an estimated 1.5 million who came down. For a long time when the Patriots were steamrolling everything in their way, people asked "So are we a football town now, or are we still a baseball town?"

After Saturday, I dare say we're a Hockey town. Boston fans will turn just about anything into an "us v. them" style battle. I wouldn't be surprised if you see the profile of Hockey rise a little higher on this side of the border. Sounds like a long road, but these people are rabid for victory whether it be in a professional sport, or some highway road game.
