no one actually has to cheer, but booing is just totally classless regardless of what team, what country, whatever. I know in Philly they clap at the end of the canadian national anthem mainly out of respect for a) the fact that there are canadian players on BOTH teams b) for 1 team that is actually canadian and c) for the person who just sang the anthem. I think a lot of people forget the 1st part. I'm sure any american players (Jim Dowd, Mike Komisarek, Francis Bouillon) on the Montreal Canadians were pretty furious at the Montreal fans when they booed the US National Anthem. I think the fans forget that the NHL is multi-cultural, multi-national, and multi-lingual. Sports should bring people together, not disrepsect each other and tear them apart.

The Leafs better watch out because the Sens are pressing and they can't keep on relying on Belfour the entire series. Once he gets tired or gets a bad batch of coke, the Leafs are done.

you dont need to cheer. I most certainly dont(because our team is the canadian one, their team is the american one, while there may be yanks on our team..to me they are 'temporary' canadians while we play that series.
Mtl is done for.
0-3 ouch
I think sens will do better back in TO. They better, or its lights out.
Calgary/Vancouver is proving to be quite the series. Good hard hitting hockey.
after the 16 penalty game 1, the teams have smartened up, and stopped alot of the clutching and grabbing, making it faster. Which I like.
oh ya, and Cloutier hurt himself..I dont know if the flames will win the series, but I do think itll go to 7 now. Its great to be in this city right now.
