You don't see me outraged that Trump wished a sports team good luck just like every political leader has done that since sports were invented.

Good point. Are you feeling okay?

He's not "telling" anyone how to think or act any more than you are "telling" people what to do when you make a suggestion. And it's not inappropriate for Harper or Trudeau to encourage Canadians to support the Canadian team. That's part of what they're expected to do.

They're expected to get Canadians to support Canada and not a specific NHL or NBA team. But on the plus side Ottawa has more Canadians on their roster than the Penguins so I suppose that's something.

Was that before or after the Oilers got ousted? Thought as much.

5-1 Go Sens Go!
Who in their right mind would cheer for Pittsburgh? Especially over a Canadian team. Woulda loved an Edmonton-Ottawa Cup final even if the NHL wouldn't.

That was a good game! Hopefully they can keep up that level in game 4.

An all-Canadian team final would have been awesome.
