Didn't the Canadiens tie the win streak to start the season record? What a collapse, I suppose that team really is all Price.

Yeah, Price got injured and they had a good start without him but ultimately collapsed to oblivion. Oh well... Here's hoping they get first draft pick!

Canadian teams not making it for the first time in 46 years is really fitting since Leafs haven't won a Stanley Cup in the past 49 years.

Trivia, Leafs haven't won a Stanley Cup in the past 49 years.

Habs won the cold outdoor Super Bowl thing!

Hahaha! Well, that counts as a Super Bowl win! We did it!!

Habs have always depended on good goalies as a crutch then lose their minds when they lose him and get subbed with a league average goalie

Many teams have avarege goalies and do fine.

Habs need to stop being so ''Defense'' minded and actually make the effert to get more offensive firepower on their team.

20 years, same story

Spoiler

Dollar's kinda rebounded.

As for the hockey, who cares what city they play. Most of the top players play for Team Canada and we get some sort of ribbon or medal every few years.

 

[grumble]

Aren't all the teams fairly Canadian, if we're going by player count? I mean with imported players it isn't like any team is really 'your' city's team. Privately owned teams with foreign players.

Less than half of NHL players are Canadian now. So. Not really.

Detroit = Sweden

 

[Tom Nook]

I don't follow Hockey, how are the Sharks doing? Are they favor to win the cup?

Washington = Russia

I know how that might sound at first glance, but the Caps have a TON of Russian players.

How the fuck are there only 6 Canadian teams in a sport that was invented by Canadians.

We invented basketball too eh

Money.

Gary Bettman.

Gretzky.

Aren't there seven?

But, still, I agree. Money is an issue, though.

 

[TheRealTalker]

rigged.... RIGGED I SAY

they need the Americans to at least be interested in Hockey

D:<

 

[Livingskeletons]

Bruins vs Kings finals please

Boston vs LA in hockey to ruin the sport B^)

I can get behind this. No one does Beat LA chants quite like Boston.

 

[CosmicQueso]

I don't follow Hockey, how are the Sharks doing? Are they favor to win the cup?

Eh they were doing okay but they didn't have enough bells to pay the rent so their stadium got repossessed.

 

[crazy monkey]

I said in break that we should follow other canadian game that was actually invented in canada people laughed at me and said move to usa. No respect for basketball. Sad.

 

[AxelFoley]

America.

Fuck. Yeah.

 

[Professor Renegade]

We invented basketball too eh

I'm Canadian as well, this isn't news to me. Americans are appropriating out culture tbqh.

 

[rpmurphy]

Maybe a Trump America will save Canadian hockey?

 

[shira]

America.

Fuck. Yeah.

Dude only Canadian CFL teams made the playoffs this year. Take that Shreveport RIP

 

[Snaku]

brb remembering the good ol days ;_;

Your good ol days can choke on a rat.

 

[HariKari]

I don't follow Hockey, how are the Sharks doing? Are they favor to win the cup?

Have to learn how to not choke first.

The Canadian teams are all run so poorly. Montreal dropped like a rock without Price.

As a Coyotes fan, it's a little funny to see that Auston Matthews has like a 70% chance of ending up in Canada. Watching a kid from AZ lead your team to glory might change a few minds about the importance of non-traditional markets.

Edmonton should be relegated to the ECHL.

That's the first time I've seen the old Canucks logo and it's hideous. Wow

 

[gutter_trash]

That's the first time I've seen the old Canucks logo and it's hideous. Wow

Which one? They have 3 hideous logos

 

[newtypepilot]

for the tank boys!

Whatever it takes for the 1st overall pick.

 

[KraytarJ]

Both iterations of the Orca are beautiful I'll have you know. The skate is outright fugly though.

 

[ryan299]

the skate one. The others don't come close to that crap

 

[PillarEN]

The skate is cool. Sadly, as a kid I didn't know it was a skate and for some reason I associated it with some disco theme. I don't know why.
I was never bothered with any Canucks variants other than the "V" jerseys.

cool

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Well since Reimer went to the Sharks, I guess I'll cheer for them then...

 

[Leeness]

So embarrassing.

 

[Sober]

Shouldn't we blame Trudeau here ;p

Harper continued the streak while in office

I expect this to be typed out unironically when the CBC reports on it.

The Skate is the best one! So 80s.

IMO teams that change colors and or logos are teams with no identity

I didn't even notice that it was a skate before. Now I feel dumb.

It's like the Minnesota Wild logo being a bear.

Nate Silver's NHL realignment. (Why Can&#8217;t Canada Win The Stanley Cup?)

 

[RBH]

To celebrate this historic occasion, they should move the Jets to Atlanta so that my Thrashers can be re-born, baby!

 

[entremet]

Canada is tiny population wise. US has 10x its population.

 

[KingBroly]

There are no 3rd tries in the NHL. Especially when they're named "Atlanta"

I always saw it as more of a cougar or something, but yeah definitely a bear

It never really dawned on me to closely examine the outline. It always looked like a weird mishmash to me.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Thanks Obama

 

[Draxal]

I thank Canada for blessing the earth with Mark Messier.

 

[jstripes]

As long as the Leafs keep raking in money, they're never gonna be motivated to do well.

 

[shadowkat]

It is sad, I was in Grade 5 when the Habs won in 93. Wonder how much longer we'll have to wait sadly.

Sadly this is just another year the Leafs didn't win shit so that's a plus

Well, at least you saw the Habs win.

I wasn't even alive the last time the Leafs won and they've basically sucked my entire life with brief shining moments.

 

[bremon]

A Canadian team is a Canadian team is a Canadian team. I would expect you to know this.

On another note, everyone laughed at me when the Canucks lost in 2011 and I said they'd be back in the finals... everyone is still laughing.

Was at that game. Cherished memory.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Go bolts!!!

There's seven teams. Anyway, much smaller population and less large cities that can support a professional team. There are many other lower leagues with a lot more teams however.
