Son of a bitch, waking from my sound sleep this morning I thought Canada had joined the Muslim world and started to overthrow the Canadian Government.
But no, the Canucks had their ass's handed to them last night and lost game 7, And the Stanley Cup!
That and they ran out of labatts and Molson, the combo of the two traumatic experiences was just to much for the Canadian people to handle.
Maybe next year Canada, you will have a team worthy of the Stanley Cup, but once again an American team owns it for now.

Riot police in Vancouver used tear gas to quell violence that broke out after the Vancouver Canucks lost the final game of the Stanley Cup.
Cars were set on fire and shops were looted following the ice hockey team's 4-0 defeat to the Boston Bruins.
Mobs of angry fans roamed central Vancouver after the game, as thick acrid smoke rose over the city centre.
Similar riots broke out in the Canadian city after the Canucks lost the Stanley Cup in 1994.
Record crowds of supporters gathered in the heart of the city on Wednesday in the hope of seeing their team - the favourites - secure the Stanley Cup and be crowned winners of the National Hockey League (NHL).
But hope quickly turned to gloom after the Boston Bruins scored first and then went on to secure an emphatic victory.

RIP , Man !

DETROIT – Bob Probert, the beloved enforcer for the Red Wings in the late 1980s through the mid-90s, died Monday afternoon after collapsing on a boat in Lake St. Clair.
Essex County Media Relations Officer Shawna Coulter confirmed early Monday evening that the Lakeshore office of the Ontario Provincial Police received a distress call at 2:55 p.m. EDT of a person needing medical transport. Probert, 45, was taken to shore near the Edgewater Shoreline and wisked by ambulance to Windsor Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Coulter said.
A southern part of the Canadian province of Ontario and Michigan are separated by Lake St. Clair, which at its southern end spills into the Detroit River that divides Windsor from Detroit.
Remembered for his long-reach and ferocious attitude in the crease area, Probert was one tough competitor, the likes not seen in the NHL since. He played 16 NHL seasons, including nine with the Red Wings, the team that made the Windsor native a third-round draft pick in 1983. He was an All-Star in 1988 retired in 2002 with 3,300 penalty minutes.

US hockey upsets Canada
Team USA delivers a nice little 5 to 3 spanking to team Canada right before the Medal rounds begin ,
Neither team out for the count , so there still could be a rematch .
ESPN
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Happy anniversary, U.S. Olympic hockey team.
The goaltending couldn't haven't been better in the U.S. defeat of much-hyped Canada. The timing couldn't be more perfect, either.
Now, the latest hockey team to capture the American public imagination's needs only to write a happy ending to this success story in the making, just like the 1960 and 1980 teams did.
Winning the game they supposedly couldn't against a virtual NHL all-star team that Canadians believed was ordained for gold, the Americans' unexpected 5-3 victory Sunday advanced them to Wednesday's quarterfinals as the top-seeded team.
This game wasn't for a medal. Canada wasn't eliminated; the Americans are assured of nothing but a bye before they play the Switzerland-Belarus winner. Even so, this was a magical moment for U.S. hockey that, at least in the Olympics, hasn't been matched since the Miracle on Ice in 1980.
"You just can't beat it. It was fun," Paul Stastny said. "It was a once-in-a-lifetime atmosphere."
Fittingly, Monday is the 30th anniversary of the United States' monumental upset against the Soviet Union's supposedly unbeatable all-world team in Lake Placid.
