Is this REALLY true? If so, Ottawa has just made one of the biggest,
dumbest blunders it ever could. What does such a move say to hockey
people? In my opinion, it says "It doesn't matter how you play the
game, it's where you live that counts." Is the Stanley Cup not an
award of merit for the best-performing hockey of the NHL season?
That's like saying, (hypothetically) that the Grey Cup should go to
(for example) Edmonton because the CFL industry is centred there.
*** REMEMBER, JUST AN EXAMPLE ***. This is pure insanity on the part
of the crew in our nation's capital and one could definitely see yet
even more negative feelings than there are now. That's how I see it
anyway.
