3 months spent talking about whether the Leafs or The Sens are gonna be the team to watch that year.

4 months spent blow harding about which IS proving to be the better team

2 months braggin about takin the cup away from the US & reminding them that they invented hockey after all!

3 months bagging their own teams, the refs, and anyone else who could remotely have had anything to do with Canada not winning the Cup ;-)

12 months boasting that Wayne Gretzky is a Canadian! :-)
