Flyers win! Yay!
I guess they're gonna have to win consistently to shut everybody up about that god awful mascot.

I think the problem is bad ownership with a good chunk of the Canadian teams :lol: The Nucks, Oilers and Sens in particular have horrible owners who interfere far too much.
Oh I missed your point, thought you were talking the last time since the Leafs made a real run :lol:Quote:

That’s a good question, hadn’t really thought of it. Leafs definitely get more, it’s a much bigger city and a good chunk of Habs fans would be frenchies who wouldn’t tune into the big national broadcasts so maybe that’s why they don’t get nearly the same airtime.Quote:

He was 5 in '93. I was graduating high school and starting college. Not quite old enough to drink legally, but when did that ever stop anybody?
