MARK GIBBONS WROTE: >to recap this discussion over the last few years: >Minnesotans are rightfully proud of what they have. >Canada produces more great hockey players then anybody else. >Most US schools could not compete without Canadiens or a drop in quality. >Fan cheers are often in poor taste. >What works for one school may not work at others (this goes both ways). >It is pointless to fill H-L with posts on this subject. 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 ;-)).
