I've been a Hartford Whalers fan from wayyyy back. There are lots of Boston and Hartford/Carolina fans in Canada. Those places are pretty close to here.

No, Svlad, no particular reason. It just seemed unusual the way you referred to them as "my" 'Canes yet you don't live anywhere near them. It slipped my mind that they used to be in Hartford which is much closer to Canada than S. Carolina. It's much more common as you further mention to have Canadians who are fans of Boston and other teams that are close to Canada. And I know very well, too, that most of the teams have a majority of Canadian players.
I'm sorry if I was rude to you. 
P.S. How do you pronounce your first name?? |
