Quote of the day
From The Daily Show‘s Lewis Black (paraphrased):
Let me explain to you why hockey sucks. The country that invented it was beaten by a country that doesn’t care about it with a team that comes from a state where there’s no naturally occurring ice.

That’s why the Canadians don’t like us so much. There are only 6 hockey teams left in their country, and we kick their ass at their own sport.

Saw that too. I heart TiVo. I know you were paraphrasing, but I don’t think he actually said that Hockey “sucks” — I believe he asked (rhetorically) “How lame is hockey?”
But the stuff on the Tony awards was the best part.
Easycure:
This year, at least, we can’t say that we “kicked their asses,” since the finals did go to seven, and they knocked off two of the best US teams along the way. This year, they simply lost. đŸ™‚

If memory serves, 15 out of the 20 or so players on Tampa are Canadian. And the other “American” teams also have large contingents of Canadian players.
Quite frankly the NHL has to stop expanding to southern areas and bring back teams to the North.

No way, Manish: we’re gonna export NASCAR to Canada!
