Given that I'm currently sitting on Canadian ground, I really should follow the cultural imperitive and care, but I just can't do it. Its...so...boring....

My knowledge of hockey amounts to this: when I hear people honking their horns outside at like 11pm, I can usually guess that its a Leafs game. Back in the old country, they used to do the same thing for football games, 'course they fired shots in to the air instead of honking.

How can you consider one of the fastest sports... boring?

Heartbreaker of a game it was, too, eh?  I almost had a stroke after that roller coaster ride.

Oh well, at least my good old Habs managed to stay in for another round.

OK, did "we" just win something? 'Cause there's a lot of people honking and yelling outside.

If you live in or near Toronto, or near Toronto fans, then yes.
