    The Trumpers on here have more hormones operating than brains cells in this thread. Can anyone imagine a shooting war with our closest neighbors and the damage that would be done? First off, with Putin bogged down and weakened in his own war, the tangerine tyrant is fresh out of friend’s leaving the United States to fight a war on four fronts alone. Plus we can’t ignore the lack of support from 70% of Americans that could lead to internal battles in the way of sabotage, assassinations, and a shutdown of vital operations. The cost would be devastating. The only winner would be China.

    If we keep winning the Stanley Cup they may want to join the U.S.

    Go Bolts! ⚡⚡⚡

    How long has it been since a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup?

    Okay. The Bolts have a roster of 7 Americans, 8 Canadians, and a splash of Russian, Swede. Latvian, etc. players. Hardly American but okay if that’s all you got.

    Canada would have a hard time getting oil from Western Canada to Eastern Canada without the pipeline that crosses into the US. I see possibilities

    It’s been a while. Montreal won in 1993 and that’s it.

    The "I admit, I didn't see Canada as a potential enemy until last week" is in the running for All Time Best TH Line Ever.

    Pretty classic if you just eliminate the country altogether. But once you reveal that it's CANADA, game over.

    1993. Ironically the same season Tampa made its NHL debut.

    That's called a joke. You taking it seriously is par for the course.

    I'm a huge hockey fan and laugh at their anguish about us owning "their" sport.

    The birthplace of players is silly. Do we claim joy from the Florida kids on UGA's roster?

    Does the number of Dominican players on MLB rosters lessen a pennant for the city the team plays in?

    That's lameness personified.

    Like that literally means nothing.

    The Lightning have 3 cups since the last time the entire nation of Canada won one.

    I was making a joke that it would be a way for them to have the cup back in their country

    ...a....joke.

    I think somebody needs to join a caravan to guard our border with Canada.

    Cleanest major city I have ever seen. Can we just trade them Philly and Cleveland for Toronto straight up?

    Can we get Miriam Adelson to run Canada in addition to the Dallas Mavs?

    Canada doesn’t have a hockey team. The teams in Canada are privately owned. Doing a U.S.A! U.S.A. chant because a team based in the United States won the Stanley Cup is like Alabama celebrating Ohio State’s National Championship win because it had Alabama natives on its team.

    Not a trade they would accept, that plus Philly has history even though it is a dump.

    All of Ohio for Toronto and Montreal. Portland, Idaho and the Dakotas for Vancouver is what I am thinking.

    Maybe if the Trumpers were as good at telling jokes as they are electing them then we would laugh with you more instead of at you.

    You literally did that upthread by mentioning the number of Canadians on Tampa's roster.

    But again. It. was. A. Joke.
    But since you want a serious debate on the topic...

    I hate BOS, NYR and FLA more than the entire Canadian roster of teams combined.

    Canadians are the one's sour about the cup and they are the one's claiming the Canadians on U.S. rosters thing.

    U.S. Teams have won 40 straight cups. Period. End of story.

    Only if Kentucky can annex Cincinnati.
    Cincinnati is a great city. Hard to believe they are in the same state as Cleveland.
