I believed that six months ago.

I didn’t.

The Canadian NHL teams haven't won the league since 1993. It was meant as a slight joke with a fact.

In hockey, it's called winning the Cup. Edmonton has been in the finals for the past two years, so it isn't like we aren't competitive. You stated your opinion, not a fact.

I didn't say the Canadian teams aren't talented or competitive. But it's a fact they haven't won the Cup since the 90's.

You said they wouldn’t win this year. That is your opinion.

True. I should have said it's extremely unlikely.

This shouldn't surprise you.

It's an opinion that will become a fact. But I was wrong phrasing my post the way I did and apologize.

You haven’t changed the phrasing, this is still rude. Why start a thread to talk to Canadians and then use it to offend them? Do you want to chat with us or just tell us that Americans are better than us?

This whole thread was about the soccer team not the NHL. Others brought up the NHL. I'm not trying to insult Canadians but your hockey teams haven't had that much success overall. Granted, the American teams success in the NHL is more due to Canadian players on those teams than American players. And by the way, I often try to get Canadians to support their local soccer teams on this board. I respect Canada and I enjoy our sports rivalry in general.

Watched part of the CFL game tonight. Did you?

I was at last night's game in Montreal. Good effort by Canada, just couldn't find the back of the net. Australian keeper definitely saved the Aussies and a lucky goal. Great atmosphere at Saputo Stadium.

Lots of cheers for the PM as well.
