This is actually gphi2k but I changed the dang e-mail address in my profile, hotmail erased the e-mail gc sent me so I wasn't able to reactivate. I've e-mailed Mr. Hammell three times but apprantly he's gone awol. So I'm gphi2k2 until things get sorted out.

That being said...well, we all know what I'M gonna say. YAY LEAFS!!!!!!!!! 3-0. Shut out. hehe. Siobohn said we wouldn't win because we're 'way too injured.' Makes it so much more sweet that our St. John's Maple Leafs were able to take the Sens. Last night's game was like taking candy from a baby

.

Toronto was nuts last night. THOUSANDS of people partying on Yonge street, people honking everywhere. Toronto is such an AMAZING city, even though every other Canadian on this website(save for Cutiepie 2000) seems to have an inferiority complex. Stop bashing my city and stop bashing my team. We've proved ourselves worthy. So stop the slamming and get on the bandwagon cause we're taking it all the way.

Hey, Lil_G, aren't you a Toronto fan now???

GO LEAFS GO!!!

Hey All,

As you can see from my nickname I AM CANADIAN-SO very proud of that fact! Even though I go to school in Ottawa and so is my sorority-XI Delta Theta, I AM A LEAFS FAN! Because i'm from Peterborough which is close to Toronto. I have a few things to say:

1. ITS TIME TO BRING THE CUP BACK WHERE IT BELONGS! Sorry but its Canada's year with OUR game and it deserves to come home so GO LEAFS GO!

2. NO booing to any country. I think a lot of people mock Canada and yes we mock Americans because we feel hurt and overlooked but DONT MESS WITH US! Its time to show some RESPECT. Please, especially after what happened in Afghanastan.

3. No flag burning is right and most Canadians do NOT do that or place flags on dressing room floors. If they do its just a bunch of jackasses.

4. DOn CHerry is HILARIOUS. I dont care what anyone says but he is the truth whether you agree or not.

SO GO LEAFS GO! GO CANADA GO!
And when all said and done-its just a game but although it means so much to my country!

p.s As anyone seen the Canadian commericals-Hey where is your pet Beaver and Hey? Do you know Glen? Yeah he works in an office, plays hockey and says eh a lot? Oh Office Glen? yeah hes dead! LOVE THOSE COMMERICALS

Hey. I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader.
And I don't live in an igloo, or eat blubber, or own a dogsled.

And I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice.

I have a Prime Minister, not a President.

I speak English and French, NOT American. and I pronounce it 'ABOUT', NOT 'A BOOT'.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack. I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing. DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation, AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.

A TOQUE IS A HAT, A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH, AND IT IS PRONOUCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!!!

CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS! THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY! AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!

MY NAME IS JOE!! AND I AM CANADIAN!!!!!!!!

Thank you.

What??? every other Canadian has an inferiority complex.... I'm hurt. I just did feel a need to defend the Leafs, afterall they can and did do a great job of that themselves.

RACooper - well, here's to hoping you see an Avs/Toronto finals - that would be some GREAT hockey - might you be up for a brotherly wager IF that is the case?

As much as I am an Avs fan, I'm not so confident about our chances vs. the Wings - if the Wings/Blues had gone longer than 5, then I'd be very upbeat - this will be a great series. Plus, the BIG question right now is how is Forsbergs wrist - was that just a stinger, or did some serious damage get done?

Detroit/Toronto would also be a good finals - two original six teams......but, I want the Avs to move on again....6 times in 7 years they have gone to the conference finals - what a record!

Siobhan · #**216** 05-16-2002, 12:42 PM

Dang - I so wanted to see San Jose win - but good for them for having such an awesome year.

I really hope TO knocks off Carolina - the cup has been away from home far too long (the Habs 93, and my beloved Canucks almost did it in 94...) - and would be extra cool with brining back the olympic golds in hockey this year. Of course if TO makes it though Carolina they still have to face the Avs or Wings... In the west I'm going for the Avs (I eant to say root nut after what CutiePie pointed out I thought I'd refrain LOL - even though Burnaby Joe is awesome

).

Thrillhouse · #**217** 05-16-2002, 12:43 PM

The avs-wings! This series should easily go to the wings but Roy might have something to say about that.

And you mean there is another series out east? They should make that series the 3rd place game since both teams couldn't beat the kings much less detroit or the avalanche.

ATTACK!!

Man I love that add.

Also the next time someone asks me do you so and so from Canada I am so using the office Glen line. LOL

gphi2k2 · #**219** 05-16-2002, 03:50 PM

Wow, when the sens were still in contention you couldn't get lil_g to shut up. Now all the sudden he's fallen off the face of the earth. Has anyone heard from him? Is he okay? I'm getting concerned!

Chin up lil! The cup will still come back to Ontario. It will just be us carrying it.

Now, I'm going to get my Leaf's toque, go make sure my huskies are garding the sleigh outside my igloo, then I'm gonna put my feet up on the ottomon, cuddle with my pet beaver, and drink some Blue.

GO LEAFS GO!!!

Thrillhouse · #**220** 05-16-2002, 07:13 PM

The cup will come to ontario when guys like Steve Yzerman bring it up there for show and tell.

One more note...I saw a sign in the crowd that said:

Canada can have the gold, Carolina wants the cup.

Since when did Carolina want the cup, last week? Seems like the bandwagon in Raleigh is overflowing.

LeslieAGD · #**221** 05-16-2002, 07:13 PM

While I didn't really care who came out of the Avs/Sharks game, I knew that if the Avs won, all the press would want to talk about is "The Battle of the Goaltenders"...and they're already starting.

LXAAlum · #**222** 05-16-2002, 07:38 PM

LeslieAGD - they've also started dredging up the Lemiuex/Draper incident - sigh.....that is such old news.....

I don't get the goalie controversy - Roy or Hasek: who is better? In the Stanley Cup playoffs - there is no comparison yet....not until Hasek actually gets his name on one....this might be the year for that however....we shall see.

phikappapsiman · #**223** 05-17-2002, 01:52 AM

Damn!!! My poor Sharks didn't do it this year

I am SO SAD!!! But I have to root for the hated Detroit Red Wings-I hate the Avs, and by the way, didn't Canada already win the gold medal in Men's AND Women's hockey at the Olympics this year??? They already have enough-GO USA!!!! I really don't care who at this point, just GO USA!!!

LOL!!!! That is SO funny -I love it!!! Especially the line, "...Oh, you're from Canada. Do you know so-and-so?" "What, you don't? I thought that ALL Canadians knew one another!"

Also, "What do you guys speak up there? Canadian?

One of my favorite movie soundtracks is "South Park-Bigger, Longer, and Uncut" because of the song "Blame Canada"-I laugh every time I hear that!

But this American LOVES Canada-hey some of my best buddies are from there, and you guys rock! (Especially with the currency exchange!)

I might be up for a wager of sorts... after all I'm owed a good time at many chapters following a wager made about the gold medal game... it was hard being the olny Canadian in my class at the last regional conference
