#1 canadians keep proving that they are adolescents....time to start discussions with the maritime terrotories about eventual statehood. as soon as the loonies in quebec go for the seccesion issue again we should be open to inquires. the last time this was an issue we, clinton, brushed them off.

#2 Let's not forget the Plains Provinces! Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon would give us a land link with Alaska, open up the way for a pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Denver (with multiple refineries along the way), and open up some really fantastic fishing waters. Not to mention make it easier for me to visit a few dozen friends who live north of Montana!

#4 motreal canadien fan have tradition of being assholes. even back in 1950s they start riot when rocket man have bad game. for long time hockey players cant be on canadiens unless they french canadien and that is discriminate. this same team also boo off ice patrick roy who arguable best goalie ever play so he leave motreal canadien and win stanley cup with colorado and have last laugh against canadiens.
there are four other canadian team in playoffs right now. vancouver calgary ottawa and toronto but they all playing against each other and not any american team till next round. im not thinking any fo there fan will act like that. that seem to be a montreal thing.

#5 Ah, so muck4doo remembers the 50's and has watched hockey back in the good old days. Another clue that all is not what it seems.

#8 no steve that before my time but i read it in hockey news 50 greatest players book. canadiens fan are to hockey what eagle fans are to football. dteroit red wing fans also jerks cuz they killing poor octopus who just minding own busines in the ocean just to throw him on ice.

#9 Don't be so hard on the Red Wings fans, Muck. The only time we ever saw an octopus was on ice at the fish market. We just figured that was its natural habitat.

#10 As a Lightning fan, I want the Habs to win.

As an American, I want all those Montreal assholes to go fuck themselves.

#11 i didnt see florda panther fans throw real rodent on ice. they threw plastic one. red wing fan should make plastic octopus instead to throw on ice since they are not get opurtunity to throw hat very often. hahaha!

#12 We need Conan O'Brien's Triumph the Insult Comic Rottweiler to return. His first visit didn't make the point strong enough.
"You're in North America; learn the language!"
Poop on Triumph!, Poop On!

#14 Besides, the octopusses are already dead. It's not like they're being hunted down and slaughtered just for a Red Wings game.

#16 #15 That makes me feel so warm inside. LOL! Actually, I just found out through Little Green Footballs that there are quite a few of us in Canada that share the same sentiment as Rantburgers (in many cases, but not all). I am not alone!! HAHAHA! I AM NOT ALONE!!

#17 Rafael - I'm sure it was a small minority. HAP speaks for no-one but himself here. You're already aware of most everyone's concerns re: recent actions by others in the Great White North. I just hope things change for the better there

#18 shipman your miss the point that throwing dead animal on ice does not make sense and set bad example for other teams! go to other team home games and your not see dead sharks thrown on ice in san jose or dead bear thrown on ice in boston or dead cayotee in phonix or dead cunucks thrown on ice in vancouver. and also the octupus thing is outdated cuz it supposed to simbolize eight victory need for stanley cup back in the old day and now team need 16 wins for championship.

#19 To me it reads like HAP is into anal sex in a big way. Read it again.

#21 Who cares? Hockey's not a game, anyway, more of a semi-controlled riot.

Yeah, I admit it: the truth hurts.

#24 Besides, the octopusses are already dead. It's not like they're being hunted down and slaughtered just for a Red Wings game.

Nashville counters by throwing catfish onto the ice! And we do, in fact hunt for(or fish for) them specifically for the ceremonial chucking. Lazy Dead Things fans!

I'm going to the game in a few minutes myself. Didn't have time away from work to fish one out of the backyard pond though.

#26 Muck4doo--Phoenix fans don't get worked up like a lot of other places for three reasons:
1) Too damn hot, and getting worked up ain't worth it,
2) Like Charles Barkley said back in the 90's when asked why the Phoenix fans didn't riot when apparently they did in Houston, "That's 'cause we're civilized."
but major reason is
3) Most of our teams suck....what's the point? ;)

#28 Question. Imagine Quebec goes independant and some of the provinces start looking at the US as an option. Do the rantburgers think provinces could/should become States on a one-to-one basis or would it make more sense to group the Atlantic provinces together into a state.

And before we get all jingoistic imagine what this would do to Americas political balance. Although the plains provinces might go Republican the rest would certainly lean towards the Democrats. Potentially that could mean a lot of new Democratic Senators.

#29 Saw something a few years ago about the maritime provinces which, the article indicated, are being abandoned by the populace for jobs further west. The provinces are so poor they fall below the economic levels of the worst parts of the USA, and we couldn't afford to take them on!
