being an islander fan i watched that game. the booing while definately audible wasnt as loud IMO as the cheers that came on to override the boos.

also i would like to point out that last year during the playoffs the next home game after Darcy Tucker took out michael peca, some fans at the Nassau Colisium booed the canadian national anthem.

Wannabie, come on. Lets not make excuses for their behavior

i did not make excuses for them, merely pointed out that US fans booed the canadian national anthem for a far lesser reason in the big picture.

and last time i checked most of these countries (including our own) that had war protesters were free nations.

and as part of a free nation is the right to free expression. ie protesting our war in iraq.

they may not have picked the right spot to protest but it is their right to do so.

One thing that we have to keep in mind here - Montreal is a French speaking city, as is Quebec is a French speaking Province. In fact, Quebec would love to separate from the rest of Canada. So when I heard this news story, I didn't think all Canadians feel this way. We visited Canada twice on vacations, back to back in the mid 90s. Absolutely loved it up there, but when we traveled into Quebec and points north, the signs changed to French, and you suddenly felt like you were in France. That's all I want to say. Not condoning at all what these folks from Montreal did, but based upon France's position right now, it didn't surprise me either. It actually made me very sad to think they feel this way.

My experiences in Winnipeg and Vancouver were much the same; the "beavers" (English-speaking) and the Hutterite/Mennonite enclaves were friendly and gracious, but as soon as one entered the francophone areas, the attitudes changed to arrogance, denied service (unless you also spoke French), and verbal provocations to debate from a separatist slant. This was in the mid-late 70's, but I see things haven't changed much with the "frogs".

My @$$ is too precious to me to offer it for kissing...they are welcome to Annabelle's, however (she be a ho')! :wink:
