Embarrassed to be a Canadian

Post by Shiny Side Up »

... I mean have you seen how our teams play hockey anymore?

[rant]
Toronto losing 7-0?! Calgary drops one 6-0?!! What the hell? Someone should make these guys do a few practices without pucks, maybe even without sticks. Who teaches these guys how to play? I've never seen so many off-sides... ain't that something you learn way back in Mighty-mites or Atoms or whatever it is these days? Toronto looked like they were color blind out there the ammount of times they passed the puck to the Rangers.

And don't get me started on that boarding stunt Calgary pulled at the beginning of the second. When are these idiots going to learn?

Oh I used my power of choice and turned it off, it was so apalling. Is it too much to ask to have a good hockey game on tv? A guy has to watch that sport's re-run channel.

In Ottawa you're going to pay $200 to $300 for that.

If all it takes is a few bad hockey games to make you ashamed of your country, I'm embarrassed you're Canadian too. People get waaaay too into sports...

Anybody who says curling is boring has obviously never played it the way the game is supposed to be played; drunk!

OK I'll give you that. I've volunteered for a charity bonspeil once...drunk it would probably be fun as hell, but sober, it's like watching hockey in really slow motion with big pucks and small sticks.

Actually it is:

On 28 September 2009, Tim Hortons Inc. announced it had completed the reorganization of its corporate structure to become a Canadian public company.

Leafs, Sens, Oilers and Flames are toast... no hope for this year anyway. The 'Nucks will blow it in the playoffs like usual, because they don't bring the necessary effort and grit to the playoffs... simply speaking, they are not a playoff team.

Our only hope, as it always has been, is the best sports team to ever bless this planet with their presence. :mrgreen:

For some reason, this thread is turning me into a Habs fan.

I don't know why.

hockey? I don't need no stinkin' hockey. To be Canadian....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y-9ViORazI

I man it's nice but....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29g57XTY ... re=related

And then...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWDXE9Pb ... re=related

In fact whereever I have travelled most (99.9%) people don't give a F--k about hockey)...

They LOVE us!!!!!!!! as Canadians....

Maybe even Steven Harper (ok that might have been a bit to strong)

Don't ever be embarrased to be Canadian (even - if possibly - there is a slight chance - we might suck - for one (or more seasons) - at hockey)
