Current Events > As a Canadian, it annoys me when i get chastized for cheering for a USA team.

(+) Yeah! (+)

That being the Red Wings. And usually these people doing the chastizing dont even watch a lick of hockey, and they kind of ignore the fact that i keep bringing up there have been loads of Canadians on those teams winning the cup on those USA teams. And for the record, i hate the Leafs and the Canucks with a fiery passion. Every other Canadian team has my friendly support.

So many of the aforementioned people up here watch the NFL, and when i say why not watch the CFL? 'Because the CFL sucks.' What happened to rah rah Canada? Eh? Eh?

Random rant. Hope y'all are having a good night. Leafs suck, go Red Wings ;)

Leafs win again, Red Wings blew their lead with 8 seconds left.

I hang out with Leaf fans but I have no interest in hockey at all. I grew up surrounded by people obsessed with it. Still am.

Yeah. Sigh. ;_;

What's your actual connection with the red wings? Do you have links with Detroit? Do your parents follow them?

Seems a hollow gesture to support a team that means nothing to you.

I've been a Wings fan since 89, but i'm American. Just cool to see another Detroit fan here.

No and no. Its because of Steve Yzerman who i thought was really cool when i was a kid, and never had a favorite team when i watched hockey. He made me a Wings fan and the rest is history.
