I gotta be honest and say the Stanley Cup would mean more to me then a Gold Medal.

Stanley Cup for sure....... more games... more pain... more struggle... more teams... more players... more politics... more time... more energy....

just plain more put into winning the cup over the gold......

i'm more about the gold medal, the proudest moment of being a canadian was celebrating the gold medal in 2002. it just so much 'more' then the nhl, even though it is made up of nhl players. it gives you a reason to be proud of canada. And i've actually been a calgary flames fan since i was a little kid, and as excited as i was to see them finally make it to the finals and almost win (they should of, damn rejected cup winning goal ) canada winning just seems like so much more.

I'll admit that it was a great moment back in '02 when we won the gold medal. But I voted for the Stanley Cup. I think Canada already gets so much attention for our hockey program and we are already viewed as basically the frontrunner in the sport. A Stanley Cup in Toronto though, oh man, that would shut more than a few people up.

the way that poll is worded, I would have to settle for the money. I mean, even Cup winners like Rocket Richard are selling their silverware for money, which is too bad. I'm sorry, but I'd take a contract of $30M over five years than a Stanley Cup or gold medal. In fact, most of the Canadian players on this '06 team won in '02 and they're getting shit on with this "what have you done for me lately?" attitude.

without the wording, I would take the gold medal (but just barely) over a Stanley Cup.

Hell, the Raptors have a better chance of winning a championship than the Leafs. The Leafs have as much a chance as Harold Ballard coming back to manage them

the closest the Leafs are going to get to winning ANYTHING is Mats Sundin's gold medal. 38 years and counting.... muhahahahaha

^^^ See what I mean!

not to take away from the thrill and honour it would mean to win a medal for Canada...but personally, the Stanley Cup would mean more to me, for sure.

whatever sport you're playing, you (hopefully) want to win against who you perceive to be your elite competition...and for pro hockey players, that usually means the NHL.

money? nah. Even if you're "only" good enough to have a long career in the minors, you're still making decent money. I think it's hard to reach that level in any sport if it's *just* about the money...you'd quit as soon as you knew you weren't ever going to hit that big pay day.
