    I live in Ontario...

    I'm more into olympic hockey. They win.

    Actually, I was born in Ajax.

    well no arguing with best on best.

    And the leafs win occasionally just not enough in the past 50 years.

    I believe that the relentless disappointment of being a leaf fan has turned me into a geriatric curmudgeon.

    I want to like the Leafs.

    But I'm scared I might have my heart broken.

    Not a bad way to start at least. Undefeated season so far.

    I love hockey. I'm not really a fan of one particular team. I love watching all games

    -- Canada Win Ice Hockey Gold V USA - Highlights - Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics --


    What a match! I'm still reeling over that loss.

    Wanna see amateur hockey at its best? Watch IIHF:





    This is not shown on USA television but can be watched for FREE online. No question in my mind that this is the greatest amateur tournament in the world.

    I was wondering - where or when did I hear of this town before?

    Had to do some minor research and found that it was the home of Jeff Beukeboom:


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Beukeboom


    Dunno if you are old enough to remember him but he was a great team player who put out every night. He's the type we would call a Mr 100% for giving it all on the sports field every single time he laced on the boots. He may not make it to the NHL's Hall of Fame but he sure played like it.

    It's over forty minutes but in the first seven talks about hockey (and this is a political forum):

    Anybody watching IIHF?

    There are various online channels which are streaming the matches.


    Tomorrow is the day for the USA-Canada match. Should be awesome!

    my Yanks looked tired and somewhat uninspired in their match last night vs Slovakia - 14 hours later, they now have to play Canada - chances are you guys will win this one

    you get a Happy New Year's like just the same :)

    Despite all, Yanks still fail to see that IIHF is one of the world's greatest tournaments. In this respect, I gotta give kudos to the Canadians for being more than just a bit smarter about all this.

    Hockey does not belong in the southern states or southwestern states where it is not naturally cold or kids don't play in thee winter

    Hockey was great with the original 6,    . Boston Bruins, Chicago Black Hawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, and Toronto Maple Leafs.

    I can easily understand the bias, but money talks. The more popular it is, the more that can be made. Greed is universal.
