They're playing on home ice (again), they've won the last 5 years in a row, and I am fucking tired of having them rammed down my throat. Regardless of the fact that I won the geographic lottery when I was born I will not be cheering for the Canadian junior team. Fuck 'em. I hope they lose and I hope Pierre McGuire goes insane as a result so I never have to hear him give another 2 hour long verbal handjob to the Canadian team while calling the games.
    Hehe, I don't care about the commentators, neither the number of french Canadians in the team, I am just cheering for my country on an entertaining point of view. Vancouver is damn nice, for that it is perhaps the most beautiful province of Canada but I like the idea of being quite closer to Europe, new-York and Boston, guess that I am somehow an east coast result deep inside. Thus said, I was happier when the U18 won gold as their goaler is a close relative (Louis Boileau Domingue) but I am happy to see the game our juniors are displaying this year, they just commit too many indiscipline faults but other than that, they are quite solid and so are our girls!
    I would love to somehow move the province of B.C. (and our weather here in the south) to the east coast to be close to the Eastern Seaboard and Europe. I'm looking forward to potentially moving to Toronto in part because I'll be that much closer to those places.
    Toronto is not a very nice city but it is definitely full of opportunities and the airport over there has so many flights that it is not very expensive to fly to Europe. Is it something that you would consider doing in the short or long time?

    There is a very good chance I'll be heading to T.O. too, before CFH even. For both school and boxing, or even just school. I hear a lot of the same about the city. That it is you either love it or hate it. And that most hate it because people tend to be cold and indifferent. But that it is loaded with opportunity and things to do. So like most things, I suppose there is a trade off.

    When I talk about Toronto, I try to be as impartial as possible, especially because of the known good old Rivalry Montreal-Toronto, Habs vs Leafs, French Canadians vs English Canadians etc. IT is not a nice city, for sure, compared to Montreal there is no portrait. For the nightlife neither, most things close at 1:00 am where in Montreal, because it is set under the french rules, everything can be open till 3:00 am without problems. However business wise and jobwise, Toronto is definitely better than Montreal, it's bigger, more companies (more expensive to live, too)and to go to Europe you can have dozen more flights and in average always cheaper. On that side, you can't go wrong at all. When would you get there Youngblood? An Montreal, any chances you have to visit the boxing mecca of Canada anytime soon?

    I'd be going there for grad school, so it would be for at least two years. I imagine it would probably be permanent because most of the jobs would be there.
