     O.K., but how the heck did this become "Canadians vs. the world?"
I thought it was a few parochial Minnesota fans spewing a silly chant,
and a Canadian justifiably taking exception but getting carried
away with his own nationalism.  I missed where Mozambique and Belgium
got involved.
     By the way, unless I am mistaken comments on what is or isn't
appropriate for discussion on Hockey-L are to be directed to Wayne (a
rule which I hope I didn't breach by citing it ;-)).
 
Thanks

purpose, meaning, they're all up there.  They're not down
