You've got to understand, this is a hockey nation, and he was simply talking hockey. Hockey is our pride and joy, and we take it very seriously. I don't think this stirred up much controversy outside the hockey (or Olympic) world, at least as far as I know.
Just FYI, you can poke and prod me abot politics all day long, and I'll buy you a beer, but start bashing hockey players and oops... off come the gloves!
Dude, you're not doing anything to offset the old, SNL MacKenzie Brothers stereotype, down here.
This has nothing to do with friggin' hockey!. It's about a war, and the cold-blooded economic and political reasons behind it.
