  • The last time a Canadian team won the tory's were at the bottom of the polls, presumably in a leadership race? (my timing could be off).
    Given that, shouldn't the flames of won in 2004?

  • See, the way I see it, the Flames almost won the cup in 2004, when the Tories almost won the 2004 election.

  • well CG, harper told Daniel Lessard after Game 4 that he didnt like their chances

    Stephen Harper gave up on the Oilers. FOR SHAME!

  • Obviously.. its all the Liberals fault that Canadian teams didn't win Stanley...

    Obviously, the Liberal party should make a big deal about the fact that Harper 'didn't like their chances' when they were down 3-1 ...

    =P Still, coincidences are funny, I wonder how many Stanleys have been won by Canadian teams while under Liberal rule and under Tory rule...

  • Oilers 3, Carolina 2, Da Bears, 147

  • I hear Harper has asked government lawyers to see if the government can sue the Liberal Party on behalf of the 1994 Vancouver Canucks.

  • My prediction is that the game will go to three or perhaps four overtime periods and will end on a Steve Smith style goal.

    Wouldn't want to jinx anyone by picking a team.

  • On second thought, shouldn't Liberals favour the team wearing red ?

    He can't resist...

    I thought the unelected Senators were taking the cup home this year Don?

    But seriously, Oilers 3-1 over the 'Canes tonight.

  • For what it's worth, no Canadian team won the Stanley Cup - not one single time - under the first and greatest Conservative PM, Sir John A. Macdonald.

    And, don't forget, it was under the Harper Conservatives that the Canadian Olympic men's team was embarrassed.

  • harper refused to wear the oiler sweater, said he didnt like their chances, well that loser gave the oilers bad luck. Buuut, american teams without canadian players, mmmmmmm, would the ever win a sigle game, let alone the cup...

  • But seriously, Oilers 3-1 over the 'Canes tonight.

    Oops, I meant 3-1 'Canes over Oilers, what was I thinking?

    By Blogger Zac, at 12:20 a.m.  

  • The last time Vancouver won the Stanley Cup was 1918 if I remember correctly. That was a Conservative Govt too!! This year's version didn't do the Oilers much good, I'm sorry to say.

    As a Canucks fan, I always cheer for the last CDN team too, although it's a bit harder when it's the Flames in the final!!!

  • We need a Conservative majority for a Canadian team to win the Stanley cup.

    Vote Conservative. :)

    Yeah, full-time baseball here I come.

  • Penny, do you remember the cup disaster of '94?

    I was about 10 when we lost but remember asking, "Daddy, why are we destroying our own town?"

    By Blogger Zac, at 12:41 p.m.  

  • I do indeed, Zac.

    I remember the poor thug who got a rubber bullet in his head and has never been the same since. He was trying to bring a hydro pole down onto the crowd, as I recall.

    I remember the local drug addicts and criminals heading over to the festivities to smash windows and loot the high end Robstonstr businesses.

    And I remember frightened hockey fans unable to get home for hours after the game...

    It was a shameful time.

    I was worried when I saw similar stuff happening in Edmonton, but perhaps they were able to learn from our horrifying experience, since things didn't seem to get quite so out of hand.

    But dammit!! Is there some law that says Canadian teams can be allowed to get to Game 7 - once in a while - but never win the Cup?

  • Penny: Leafs in 7 in '07.

  • I believe everybody ought to look at this.
