Really good piece at Deadspin about the attempts of some to make the Vancouver-Boston Stanley Cup Finals into a proxy U.S. vs. Canada war. I won't quote from it because the whole thing is quite good and useful. Click on o'er.
For my part, I've never understood cheering for some random city (in this case, Boston) just because it happens to be within the borders of this gargantuan country. People in Seattle and Portland have far more in common with Vancouverites than they do Bostonians, and when you consider the other side of North America, you can easily understand why London, Ontario's Rachel McAdams is cheering for Boston.
Speaking of Rachel McAdams, go see the new Woody Allen movie. It's delightful!
There's also the inconvenient fact that most NHL teams are a mongrel hodge-podge of different nationalities. Are the Canucks a "Canadian" team even though only one of their biggest stars is Canadian (the others being Swedish and American)? What about Boston, which is one prominent American goalie plus a load of Canadians (including at least two guys from British Columbia! Should Milan Lucic and Mark Recchi be rooting for Vancouver?) plus a Slovak space monster and a Czech who's risen to the occasion? Should Lionel Messi join the Spanish national team? Etc...

Weirdly, though, this motive is not fueled by a lust for perceived social status, but rather by my thinking that this replica watches stands above the rest in a weird way, as though the general rules of hublot replica did not apply to it. Those who are thrown into fits of rage or bouts of enfeebled snark by rolex replica sale like this will have plenty to say, but in my opinion, the dial and case look cool. To note, I assume this movement is from the reference. The guy is an institution and, to be honest, I was pretty skeptical that rolex replica collaboration could succeed in translating and communicating his distinctly creative identity but got to say I am pleasantly surprised. Your rolex watches store information can only be associated with one active hublot replica watches store account.
