Tampa vs. Calgary
« on: June 06, 2004, 01:23:34 PM »
Reading throught the Sporting News today.. a particular stat caught my attention...

Tampa population: 313,600
Calgary population: 922,315

Tampa murders in 2003: 41
Calgary murders in 2003: 10


What's the story here? Why such a disparity?

Delve deeper into the population demographics of who is doing the murders in each city... it is staggering!  :(

the population of Toronto is between 4 and 5 million ppl (of all ethnic backgrounds)...and we average around 50 murders annually.

Had season tickets... maybe next year, had season tickets in TPA many years ago, and used to go watch Canadiens play because it was close to where I grew up.

I do agree, it is the most exciing game too...

I blame readily available drugs.

Its no secret that the drug pipeline runs through Florida's major cities before heading north to New York for distribution throughout the northeast.

I also blame public housing that lacks air conditioning in a hot and humid climate.  People can't sleep, so they get whacked on drugs and go kill somebody.  Crime rate goes way up during the Summer months here.

edit: Oh, and another thing - a highly transient population.

calgary is on a drug pipeline, almost everything coming from bc and the us heads through there first. not to mention the incredible speed problem alberta is having at the moment...i put it down to people with money for said readily available drugs.

This is the unanswered question M. Moore asked in his movie "Bowling for Columbine".

It's a good question. I can't come up with any understanding as to 'why' either.

Its the guns.. they are so well armed in canada compared to the USA... I mean, how are you going to murder someone you know has a gun?

O, wait... I had it all wrong.. They dont use guns in Canada, they use hockey sticks! Its very hard to murder with a hockey stick.. Like, when was the last time you tried sneaking up on someone w/ a hockey stick in your hand?? Its hard to say the least.. Even if you can get close enough without your plan being fowled, you have to 'one time' them just right or else someone checks you to the ground or  your shot is blocked..

I'm not concerned with which team wins the cup... I just cant wait to see the game! hehe This series has been GREAT! It's shown great hockey! My favorite part about these two teams playing is that both have an offensive style of play. They are built to score not to sit back and play defensive hockey and win with a score of 1-0... These teams make for some great hockey. But reguadless who wins this year, this series is very good for hockey.. Two relativly small payrole teams with awesome offensive potential! Just what the sport of hockey needs!

dude

AoM

ps.. gawd I wish my team was in it though.. lmao
