K I think I'm gonna hurt you now


Hockey is not only the greatest sport evar, it's also something that has been the pride and joy for Canadians everywhere since it was invented. It's trophy is the epitome of all sports trophies; it is beautiful, historic, and it's one of the hardest prizes to be won (mind you it's not the original Stanley Cup, but it has all the same meaning). Hockey brings people together -- professionally or not -- and if you're in Canada you basically live and breathe hockey. Can you imagine what it would be like to grow up in Canada playing hockey with your buddies at any chance, and then growing up, being drafted into the NHL and winning the Cup? There is no other feeling to describe it.

I do believe the game of hockey brings out more emotion on a regular basis than any other sport, and that in itself is worthy of being noted.

I'm not saying that it's not special when Americans, Europeans etc get a shot at the Cup, but nothing beats the dreams that you have to win the Cup as a Canadian.

What you just said is more indication that hockey shouldn't be focused in the States. I mean, I know there are Canadians who hate hockey and Americans who love it but Gary Bettman is ruining the game for Canadians who love the game more than anybody. It's all about money for him and the last thing he would like to see is an all-Canadian final. Why? He wouldn't make money, because people in the States could care less about hockey if it was 2 Canadian teams battling it out, while Canadians would watch the sport no matter what.
