Abby is a good goaltender. He's no Roy, but he's better than chopped liver.

My team is the Avalanche and I really don't like how Quenville has treated Jose. He really hasn't been given a chance to perform. Then again, I think Quenville's system

The Habs are playing exciting hockey. The playoffs are looming large and the speed and intensity of the games are really picking up.

So what other things am I going to have to read up on in the coming months? So when sitting and listening in on your conversations I can add my .02?

Softwood lumber

Gulf of Maine

Mahar Arar

Pacific Salmon

patenting e-mail

Porcupine Caribou herd

Alberta beef

passports

freindly fire

That should make for some interesting discussions. Probably interesting enough to make a hockey brawl look tame.

Yes, after doing a google search...there do seem to be some issues there regarding Canadian/US interests.

Okay, if nothing else, I should be in for a good time as we talk at CFR about the great riding we had that day.

You should also develop a taste for the famous Canadian dish called poutine......french fries smothered in gravy. Seriously.

Sure Jestal... just pour some Lipitor on the gravy and call it good? Geesh. So many foods I can't/don't eat anymore. <_< Used to LOVE ice cream, whipped to be like home made, then mix in Fritos.. umm. That's the good stuff, eh?

The most important thing to understand is the difference between Canadians and Americans (yes, there is a difference):

The difference between Canadians and Americans is that Canadians think there's a difference, and Americans don't. That's the difference.

That's the difference between a man and a woman.

learn to drink real beer. Oh yeah, watch out for snowsnakes. They should be hibernating though by the time you go up North.

I was under the impression that the real beer was guaranteed to fend off snowsnakes. ??

St Hubert's Chicken BBQ sauce, and white cheddar cheese curds, to make it the best poutine.

Doesn't seem right, the Montreal Canadiens, The Grand Club, the most successful hockey team and third most successful pro sports team in North America, relying on a pair of Swiss goaltenders. Wonder what Georges Vezina, Jacques Plante or Gump Worsley would think of that were they still alive.

Another 'Canadianism' you'll have to learn is that up here football has three downs, the field is longer and wider, the teams only get one time-out per half, there's only twenty seconds to snap the ball once the play is whistled in, and a missed field goal or punt that isn't run out of the end zone is worth one point.

Oh yeah, our balls are bigger too. :fans:

After reading through this entire thread...

I feel like I was just visiting a foreign country. Imagine that!

I did get the part about Peter North. Guess some things always translate, even for rednecks.
