Subject: RE: Hockey Haikurbschlesinger,
You have a good point. The hockey we've seen in the last few (quite a few ) years has become much more boring because of the style of play and all the hooking which is tolerated. When the sport is properly played, its beautiful to watch. Also, in Canada, we grew up with it. Especially in Montreal, its almost a religion and people go a little crazy. Every year, we expect to win the Stanley Cup, although we have average teams. Media coverage is huge, and tend to go overboard, BUT WE LOVE IT THAT WAY. The Canadiens are up there in the traditions with the Yankees and Manchester United. So we still believe that we SHOULD win every year! Hey, I didn't say it makes sense, but that how it is.
