OT: Canadians in Hell

Canadians in Hell

Two guys from Sudbury die and wake up in hell. The next day the devil stops in to check on them and sees them dressed in parkas, mittens and toques warming themselves around the fire.

The devil asks them, "What are you doing? Isn't it hot enough for you?" The two guys reply, "Well, you know, we're from Canada, the land of snow and ice and cold. We're just happy for a chance to warm up a little bit,eh."

The devil decides that these two aren't miserable enough and turns up the heat.

The next morning he stops in again and there they are, still dressed in parkas, toques and mittens.

The devil asks them again, "It's awfully hot down here, can't you guys feel it?"

Again the two guys reply, "Well, like we told ya yesterday, we're from Canada, the land of snow and ice and cold. We're just happy for a chance to warm up a little bit, eh."

This gets the devil a little steamed up and he decides to fix these two guys.

He cranks the heat up as high as it will go. The people are wailing and screaming everywhere.

He stops by the room with the two guys from Canada and finds them in light jackets and bucket hats, grilling sausage and drinking beer.

The devil is astonished, "Everyone down here is in abject misery, you two seem to be enjoying yourselves."

The two Canadians reply, "Well, ya know, we don't get too much warm weather up there in Sudbury so we've just got to have a cook-out when the weather's THIS nice."

The devil is absolutely furious, he can hardly see straight.

Finally he comes up with the answer. The two guys love the heat because they have been cold all their lives.

The devil decides to turn all the heat off in hell.

The next morning, the temperature is below zero, icicles are hanging everywhere; people are shivering so bad that they are unable to do anything but wail, moan, and gnash their teeth.

The devil smiles and heads for the room with the two Canadians.

He gets there and finds them back in their parkas, toques, and mittens.

NOW they are jumping up and down, cheering, yelling and screaming like mad men!!!

The devil is dumbfounded, "I don't understand, when I turn up the heat you're happy. Now it's freezing cold and you're still happy.

What is wrong with you two???"

The two Canadians look at the devil in surprise, "Well, don't you know?

If hell freezes over, it must mean the Leafs have won the Stanley Cup!!!"

I think most Canadians would agree with that!!! :) I believe that Nova Scotians have shifted their allegiance to the Pittsburgh Penguins since they're led by our own 'Sid the Kid'! They're a very young team, with few players that have playoff experience, but we'll be rooting for them as long as they can hang in there.

BTW...what ever happen to Ovechkin and the Capitals?

LOL - you can't get me upset about them - I already acknowledge the foolishness of our season tix.

Ovechkin is indeed a dream hockey player - nice young man, works hard, funny, and amazingly skilled. When the team didn't deal well with a bunch of injuries mid-season they basically did the semi-fire sale in March. Got rid of the good vets that would be coming into UFA, etc. So, for the remainder of the season we had a thrilling mostly AHL team playing NHLers at NHL prices. That said, the team has a lot of early round picks, and I think they'll do some trading for some not too old veterans. They really, really need a top line D with experience, a top line center, and another mid-level D, and a young goalie for the pipeline. There are some great kids playing - but they need help to get them there on D, and up front. I expect it'll be possible they make play-offs next year. Management wants to stay with this rebuilding effort, and now that there is a solid core of young players with skill to build around - they'll supposedly do that.

The 2 Alexes are awesome - though Semin can be a bit moody. And there are a few other solid guys up front. In the back - there are some good D, and one of the youngsters -Green - has the potential to be another Scott Stevens kind of player - eventually. But, we'll see.

That said - we still hate the Penguins. Sid the kid - fine player. I remember seeing him play at Midget Nationals when he was still at Shattuck St. Mary's - I got to goal judge the finals and some earlier games. I hate the Sabres fans more - they've now won as the most horrible visiting fans here - which is saying a lot given all the Phlyers, Rags, Islanders and Penguin fans that make the trip to DC. And really don't like the whining Lindey Ruff coach in Buffalo. But, am happy to see Ted Nolan back in the game.

We'll see what happens. Our friend, Joe B, had the play-by-play for the Ottawa game the other night. Looking forward to talking with him about the games, etc. Waiting to see what our other broadcasting pals are doing (a couple of DH's old college teammates are working - they're the color guys with Anaheim & Atlanta), as well as our local color guy hoping to get some play-off games.
