Almost all of the murders in Canada are from the hockey stick. We have made it a clear choice over hand guns. It was only last night when two heavily armed thugs with goalie sticks held up a popular 7-11 killing 9 and fleeing on mo-peds. A massive dog sled search is underway for the perpetrators.

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

agreed....the offence and speed are what make for a very exciting game ( I wish the Maple Leafs would pick up on this ) Gonna be a great finish; Looking forward to it!

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

Some ethnic groups are far more likley to kill then others. Where canada has a higher % of certain ethnicities it has much higher murder rates then is typical for the country. Where the US has lower % of those ethnicities it has comparable murder rates to Canada. Moore wouldnt touch that of course.

PS we lock our doors in canada. Keeps the racoons out.

I say the game winner tonight will be decided by 1 of 2 folk... Iginla or Richards.. If one of them scores, their team will win.. If the odd chance of both of them scoring, gawd knows. lol  


Cant wait!


 Post your score predictions!

I say the score will be 4-3..  dunno winner.. haha

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?

It's tough to pull a trigger when wearing mittens, and its all those sumbeeches coming over from St Pete that are causing all the problems.

Were those muders committed with guns out of curiosity?...the ones in Tampa, obviously.  The ones in Calgary we have already confirmed were committed with hockey sticks.

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..

 

is it? as i remember last time god was wandering about on earth he got it from a hockey stick and the universe rested on the shoulders of silent bob...

well thrown coconuts.

Lived in Tampa for 7 years, in a word it's the "Poverty"

Most of the murders are Black on Black and drug crime related (when I say most I mean over 50%).

I don't think gun laws would have stoped many of them as many of the crimes were commeted by fellons and they are not allowed to have a gun.


Oh well the game should be good

Go T.B.

Black on Black crime..  But you probably knew that answer...

Its really sad to me how many black communities have disintegrated since the civil rights movement finally gave these long suffering communities great opportunties and made great strides towards equal protection under the law..

Bill Cosby said the truth... Too bad many wont take the responsibility up on themselves now..  

Thats the only way to seriously overcme any effects of racism or prejudice.. Personal responsibilty, community strenght, a focus on the family and hard individual  work to meet your own decent goals..

The chinese have done.
The Irish have done.
The Italians have done.
The Japanese have done it.
Mexicans are doing it now.
The people from India are doing it now.

But many black communities have not taken up the challenge, instead they seem to hope for some magical solution from somebody else and their "leaders" just ***** and whine for more government help, all the while blaming outsiders for the majority of the problems.

I think another reason for the disparity was that we had never won a Stanley Cup, so we killed each other out of frustration. Now that we have it, our felony crime rate should go down.

Any bets that Tampa carries on the fine new tradition of the winning night riot?

2002... Boston... Superbowl... just off the top of my head...

FWIW, I think it's more of a collegiate tradition.

I was only talking riots in hockey.
