It's Hockey Day in Canada!

I was helping out a friend at work on Friday (she's from Toronto) and some other friend (he's from around here) was sending her constant IMs about how the Canucks were going to beat the Maple Leafs. Ahh, the joys of inter-regional rivalries (played out with ash wood and rubber -- or ashes, willow and grass, for that matter -- rather than with bullets, bars and stone). But tonight we see which of the six Canadian teams has got it and which ones not. If you have access to a CBC feed and you're an expatriate Canadian, today is a day to get an overdose. At 19h00 GMT it's Ottawa and Montreal. At 0h00, it's Vancouver at Toronto and for the finale, the ever-popular Battle of Alberta is continued at 03h30.

Oh, and by the way, Shanta? With the amount of snow we usually get out here (not this year!), Vancouver players know how to rake up leaves. (The question in my mind is, are they going to do it tonight?)
