I am glad we have our priorities here in Canada. I mean the United States of America does not produce enough quality players to stock their 24 clubs, so it is absolutely essential Canada help America win the Stanley Cup every year. 'It is good for the game.' We need to boost US television rating for the playoffs. It bothers me very deeply if some guy in Alabama, eating hot dogs, dining in front of the tube, does not watch the Stanley Cup playoffs. I mean in a similar way, people in England become very worried if Bundesliga television ratings are low in Germany. No, we are not philosophically Americanized here in Canada... |
