FYI - Size of Canadian cities ...

"cities like Edmonton which has a NHL team are only something like 300 000 to 500 000 people big."

Edmonton's population is 937,845 (includes metro area)
Calgary's population is 860,749 (grown 21% in 10 years)

The issue (as noted before) is the Canadian vs US $ - the players get paid in US$, but the gate/merchandising is CDN $.

Go LEAFS!!! Hey at least there will be a Canadian team in the East final - yeah!! (only 44 more days til I move back to TO!!)
