This is why Canada is Hockey Country:
Politicians don't want to go up against Canadiens
MONTREAL (AP)—File this under "Only in Canada."
A move is afoot to reschedule a federal election debate slated for Thursday so it doesn't conflict with the opening game of the Montreal Canadiens' first-round playoff series against the Boston Bruins.
Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe got the ball rolling Sunday by saying there's little doubt hockey-mad Montreal fans will choose the game over the debate.
NDP Leader Jack Layton later echoed those sentiments, the Liberals followed suit, and the Conservatives said they could live with whatever the debate broadcasters decide.
Bloc leader Duceppe wants other party leaders to join him in urging the consortium of broadcasters who organize the debate to move it back a day.
He pointed out that the first English debate is scheduled for Tuesday, before the playoffs begin. The only other Canadian team in the playoffs is the Vancouver Canucks, who still don't know their first-round opponent.
"All I'm asking is that the debate take place Wednesday so that Quebecers have as much access to this debate as Canadians," Duceppe said.
"We all know that hockey is very popular in Canada and in Quebec, which is why it would be a better idea to push the French debate back to allow hockey fans to watch the debate as well as the game on Thursday night."
The response from two of the other parties was strongly in favor, while the answer from the Tories was more equivocal.
A spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the decision belongs to the broadcasters and the Tory leader will be there whichever day they choose.

Stanley cup time ;D
What i'd love to happen. Mostly the Red Wings to win the cup. I don't know how much this nucleus can dominate the playoffs for years to come. Need 3 more cups. Want them to tie & pass the maple queefs in cup wins. They shoulda done it already. I also wouldn't mind the Canucks winning the cup cause canada is long overdue to win the cup. Hey i'd be cool with Bettman's worst nightmare :D :laugh: An all canada finals, Nucks vs. Habs. Bettman would probably off himself if that happened.
There's talk that the coyotes could move back to Winnipeg. Ironically the last home game in winnipeg was in the playoffs vs. the red wings. Hopefully the wings will send them off on a good note again.
Want the Canucks to win, not a fan of either. Good things have been going in the NHL since 2008. Pens & Wings winning the cup bringing the sport back to respectability :) since they're the most popular, the blackhawks finally breaking their drought, canada needs 2 break their SC drought. Except the queefs, fuck them & some of their fans.
S.J. & L.A. Wish the kings would move to KC. I never thought I would even type this but BEAT L.A. They don't do the right things to be a stanley cup power so they don't deserve to win any.
Fuck the Ducks & the southern teams, too bad they can't be both eliminated.
I'd have more confidence in the pens winning it all if sorry fleury was out 4 the season & not malkin in crosby. Of all teams yzerman coulda helped out as gm why an evil southern team?
Go Sabres, I would like to see the flyers win the cup just like last year but my hatred for thug pronger is too strong. I was 6 or 7 months old the last time they won the cup. The Sabres do needed to be vindicated for 1999.
Hopefully those DC fans mature themselves, early as 2008 they acted so retarded that I acutally pulled for the sorry Rangers to beat them. Shoulda happened 2 years ago but the rangers choked. Don't want either team to win, I mainly hate T.O.vechkin fanboys & the fans who act like the Caps are all that but they're not. Not the Capitals as a team. They're actually the Penguins bitch.
Habs & Bruins. In the past i'd pull for the Bruins to succeed because of Bourque but they'd be the habs bitch. The last few years I wanted the habs to succeed cause of all the the new england sports domination a few years back. There is a female co worker who I wouldn't mind dating until she moves to boston in a couple of years. She likes the Bruins, so I might just tell her go bruins. She could use more cheering up since her Red Sox is sucking right now. I would like a chance to cheer a woman up ;)
