I just find it amusing how everybody who doesn't watch any of these 17 year olds knows how deep or shallow a draft is...but in this case specifically I've read from numerous people who work in the prospect field it's a deep draft so I figured I'd challenge the assertion in the least Richardish way possible

For the record, I read too it should be a good draft !

Next 2 actually !

this is like the day i found out your national sport was lacrosse, not hockey.

ice hockey is also recognized as a national sport... lacrosse would be the summer sport, but I don't think I've ever met anyone that plays it lol.

I played it for years. And lacrosse is just the national sport, not a seasonal thing, that's just a spin hockey fans put on it. There's also more Canadians who golf than play puck

what I meant is ice hockey would be the country's official winter sport, and lacrosse summer, but I know both are technically played all year long lol

My point is the fact they needed an "ACT" in the mid 90's to satisfy hockey fans is pretty pathetic but it is what it is

Who is this Norman Flynn guy that has some clips on TSN? It Says he’s from RDS. I have never heard anyone so dumb in hockey in my life.

bah, not bashing on lacrosse but it's safe to say they are way more Canadians who have an interest in hockey than lacrosse, whether it be playing or just being a fan of the sport.

not if you consider the interest as well, I don't think canadian families gather around the TV to watch a golf tournament.

No...what I'm saying is that hockey ratings in Canada are declining at noticeable rates. I'm also saying participation matters and significantly more Canadians golf than play hockey.

right. well I wouldn't mind they add golf as a national sport then, and I really don't see the issue with having hockey in there too.

Ok...so to sum it all up. Lacrosse was the only national sport. Hockey fans whined like little female doges over something that is completely unimportant and got the government to issue an act in 1994 to change it to winter/summer sport BS and if the argument as to why is about who does what more than the honest answer is golf but who the (frank) really cares.

The reason hockey is the national winter sport now is a 27 year old movement of hockey "Karen's" and I've always found that pathetic

I love hockey...doesn't mean I can't honestly reflect on the way the situation got to where it is. The truth doesn't need to line up with what we want, it just needs to be the truth

I get it, I'm just messing with ya

I guess I just don't really care that much about what is considered "official" or not.
