The thread where we give THANKS for Hockey & celebrate all things Canadian, Eh?

Canada as you may know, rumored to be the largest of Minnesota's counties but somehow also a nation-state with a government and laws distinct from those of the Greater St. Paul/ Minneapolis area, is our lowly provincial neighbor to the North, and a veritable wasteland of ice and snow and bear attacks. They go oot and aboot and play Ahh-ckey on those rare occasions when the Rush & Barenaked Ladies doublebill is not hogging the Molson arena. It is said they consume the meat of the moose while listening to the comedy stylings of Martin Short.
