For the 10 billionth time, when I say I would like a Canada based team to win the Stanley Cup, you are not being extremely clever and thinking of something that no one else ever thought of by pointing out that the players aren't all Canadian and presenting a nationality-of-players distribution team by team.
The players are the least of my concerns. The players are a bunch of charmed-life-living bastards who get millions of dollars to play fucking hockey, and they don't need any special favors from me. Yes, I appreciate those players that brought Canada our various gold medals but there are some on every contender so it is a wash.
It is about the fans. It's about the Canadian butts in the Canadian seats that make the team possible. I would like for the same fans who cheered along with me in the Olympics to have a Stanley Cup in their town because, even though I personally give only a minor crap about the NHL, I know they could really appreciate it. I know it would be really significant to a lot of Canadians. I like Canadians.
That is all.
