Oh I assumed that. I just meant that if I'd sweated through 25 playoff games to win that thing as a player I wouldn't be ready after less than 24 hours for one of my fellow players to remove it from my presence. I'd want to be everywhere with it for at least the 24 hours and just like...celebrate.

That'd be a fun job.

I forgot to say thanks to the Bruins for shutting up these stupid Canuck fans that plague our streets here. I hope I don't have to see another stupid car flag for awhile, or a lame Sedin jersey worn by some rude, 68 year-old retiree.

It's Black and Gold day at my wife's Costco today. Everyone is wearing Boston's colors, and one of the guys bought some T-Shirts that he's handing out. My wife wore one of my Wings shirts, but I'm sure that'll piss off Canuck fans too.

Why is a Seattle area Costco having a black and gold day?

That's pretty funny Schmidty!

Nice, Shmidty!

One of the greeters/receipt checkers at my local Costco is a huge Canucks' fan...can't wait to stop in to see how he's doing now.

**Note: How do I know about this guy's allegiance to the Canucks? No, I don't work there nor am I there more than once, maybe twice, a month. And, no, I don't know him personally. You see, this guy stopped on my way into Costco one day and instead of just handing me a flyer and saying "good morning" he says "they suck". Not really paying attention (I'm usually focused on my trips to Costco as that is the only way to get out of there without buying way too much shit) I say "pardon" and he points down to my Oilers' t-shirt and repeats himself. He's an older guy so I assume he's likely a Leafs or Habs fan and just toss out the old "yeah, it's been a tough couple of years" line and start walking away when he hollers "the Canucks are going to win the cup" and then it all makes sense. D-bag Canucks' fans are the only ones I know that have the nerve to tell you your team sucks, to your face, in your town. If you don't have anything nice to say, just hand me my flyer and shut the fuck up.

We're an hour and a half away from Seattle and don't consider ourselves to even be close to a Seattle-area city. We're about 35-40 minutes away from Vancouver, so it's almost like we're an unofficial Canadian territory.

Before I moved here, I never had an issue with Canadians at all. Once I got here, I quickly realized that BC residents are generally the most rude, annoying and self-important people we deal with. Oh, and they can't drive at all.

My Canadian hate isn't all encompassing - It only extends to British Columbians.

Sak do you know when that started, because I don't believe it's always been that way.

1991, Pens first Cup, the Cup sank to the bottom of Mario's pool.

Additionally, it is rumored that somehow, one of the rings of names came off the Cup (possible from the pool?). Phil Bourque allegedly fixed it, but before doing so, etched "old 29er was here" underneath where the band would be replaced with a flat head screwdriver.

I think they think the rest of Canada can't see or hear them on the other side of the Rockies...but we can, we just choose to ignore them!

LMAO

But that's what I don't get. Okay, maybe you're not a Seattle-area Costco, but you're certainly a Canuck territory Constco. So why the black and gold day? Just seems weird. That would be like a store out here doing a Red Sox colors day the day after they beat the Angels in the playoffs. I mean, no business around is nuts like that. So your wife's store's decision makes little sense to me. I am guessing there are far, far more Canucks fans that go to her store than there are B's fans.

As an Oilers fan, allow me to say....THANK YOU BRUINS!!!!!!!

You're really overthinking this. Canadians here generally treat people here like crap, especially those that work in retail. A lot of people are sick of all of the Canucks stuff because, regardless of how close we are to Canada, 90% of the people here aren't Canuck (or hockey) fans. So a few people at Costco jokingly and unofficially came up with Black and Gold day. It's just a silly little thing. I'm sure no one is going to take it too far and get into trouble.

Everyone was all wrong - a Canuck CAN score on the road!

Bravo. Well done!

:thumbsup:

Naw, my thinking was fine. You just never said it was unofficial til now. ;)
