I just strikes me as a little ironic that, on this beautiful Saint-Jean-Baptiste day here in Quebec, all Quebecers are united ... in rooting from the Canadiens.
Any Aussies (or those who know their slang) would be chuckling at that line right now.I just strikes me as a little ironic that, on this beautiful Saint-Jean-Baptiste day here in Quebec, all Quebecers are united ... in rooting from the Canadiens.
Struth!Any Aussies (or those who know their slang) would be chuckling at that line right now.
Correct. The Iroquoian word for "village" or "settlement" is "Kanata".Isn't Canada taken from the Iroquoian language? We can all cheer for out big, diverse, far-from-perfect-but-still-great village!
Or its new definition:Correct. The Iroquoian word for "village" or "settlement" is "Kanata".
Never trust a Nordic.I think that the OP is referring to the fact that the Canadiens were traditionally the Federalist team, while the Nordics were the Separatist team.
Right term, wrong language.Never trust a Nordic.
Nordiques, not NordicI think that the OP is referring to the fact that the Canadiens were traditionally the Federalist team, while the Nordics were the Separatist team.
Well its not Vancouver so... 0?Not gonna lie, I’m wondering how many cop cars are gonna get flipped and burned during the finals.
It's a satire site, but still...Well its not Vancouver so... 0?
I was just taking a shot at Vancouver fans. They are so easy to get going. It's fun.It's a satire site, but still...
Actually it was the other way around. The Maroons were the English team and the Canadiens were the French team. As a kid my Dad used to go and watch games at the Forum for $0.25 standing room tickets.The Maroons were the french team, and the Canadiens were the English team. Of course, that was before the original six. That was in the days of the original "one"... . I actually got an elective credit in university on the history of hockey.
They already got one on Thursday.Well its not Vancouver so... 0?
My bad, like I said just trolling Canucks fans. Though if the refs turn on the Habs (a la 1955) who knows what will happen.They already got one on Thursday.
You're right! I got it backward. I'm getting my "facts" demolished on this thread. Better retreat while I can!Actually it was the other way around.
