This video goes out to the suffering people of Buffalo, who really haven't caught many breaks over the years. All those Super Bowls. Close proximity to Canadia.
And now the Sabres, who — as I understand it — were looking super-awesome all season but are now staring down the barrel of a 3-0 deficit to the Senators of Ottawa in the Eastern Conference championship. Well, with the faith of this kid and the craziness of playoff hockey, maybe the Sabes can pull it out. I'll be rooting for you, Buffalo. In a not-really-thinking- about-it, passive kind of way.
INFORMATIVE UPDATE: The dad is chanting "Emery," as in the Sens' Ray Emery.
With a sharp salute to my friends at the FanHaus

Alright, it’s happened twice in two days now, so I’ve got to ask: What’s up with “Canadia”?
Is the misspelling an inside joke I’m not getting? Does the added “i” stand for “igloo”?
From Wiki: ‘Canadia is another, generally humorous, name for Canada, by back-formation from “Canadian”‘
I’ve always took it as a slight against more “ignorant” Americans (read: most) who seem to have America-centric views, while ignoring the rest of the world.
We’re just like the United States, without all the guns.”
-Kids in the Hall.
b/c there are so many foreign countries that end is “-ia” (e.g. – Bulgaria, Australia, Austria, Russia, Slovakia, umm… Pennsylvania…)
at least that’s what I always thought when we’d make fun of our Candian friend and say that he was from “Canadia”
$10 says 289 is the baby daddy.
Otto Man: not just twice in two days, but EVERY time I write about our northern neighbor.
Possibly.
Alright, good to know it’s an intentional jab. Keep punching.
Another video I cannot watch because my work decided to block UTUBE to make us more productive. lousy fortune 500 company.
What is the dad saying? Henri?
I don’t watch Hockey because I can never see the puck. Therefore, I make fun of others who do enjoy hockey who can see the puck, just to raise my self-esteem.
What we’d like to do for you right now, is a short history of the United States of America. First of all a short scene depicting the United States of America, and their diplomacy.
Hey pal, do whatever I tell ya!
No!
I got a really big gun here…
All right then.
Straiga I will let you in on a little secret, there is no puck, its kinda like the Emperor new clothes type deal. So my friend are the little boy who yells out “But he hasn’t got anything on.”
Thank you, ClownMode. Hockey has lied to me all these years. Now I will do what any broken-hearted American would do…
BLAME CANADA!
@Matt: I’m from Detroit, so they’re my SOUTHERN neighbors…
stupid hockey fans, am i supposed to know what either of them was saying? what is harry – bubbubblehuck?
What a great dad. This kid’s going to be blowing guys for dollars in 15 years.
Notice how testy Canadians always get? You’d think they’d show a little more gratitude for the veneer of sovereignty we’ve extended to them all these years.
54’40″ or fight, irrelevant bitches!
As I have said elsewhere, Ottawa is going to burn.
Thanks for the update Matt. This is how I knew I had outgrown hockey…..around 94 or 95, I didnt know who the best players in the league were, let alone who was on the Blackhawks.
oh, boohoo, poor Buffalo. Screw them! Its not like Ottawa is Montreal here. They don’t have much of a tradition of winning either. Besides, they actually give a shit about hockey.
Oh well, guess you’ll have to trot out the 1980 Olympics highlights once again. I don’t think I’ve seen Jim Craig wrapped in Old Glory for at least a week. Suck it, yankee.
