It sticks in the craw of many Canadian hockey fans to see American teams dominate the National Hockey League playoffs. They grit their teeth every time the cup donated by Lord Stanley, then-governor-general of sa国际传媒, goes south of the border, as it has every year since 1993.
And who would have guessed that this year, it would come down to the Washington Capitals, a team that has never won a championship in its 44-year history, and the Vegas Golden Knights, playing their inaugural season?
Hockey night in sa国际传媒, indeed!
But Canadians still account for nearly half of NHL players, and Canadian fans 鈥� especially on the Island 鈥� can take heart in knowing that the winning goal for the Capitals might have been scored by a Dane, but came with an assist from Campbell River-born Brett Connolly 鈥� a good Canajun boy, as Don Cherry would say.
