Pace on Earth

The Battle of Evermore

In the history books this may end up being remembered as the flashpoint of a cross border war between the countries with the longest undefended border in the world.

It appears that a dispute between transportation officials in Canada and the US will make multiple charter stops in the other country illegal. This will mean that teams would have to return back to their home country before flying to the next road game. This might not affect the US teams that much because all of their destinations in Canada are relatively close to the border. But when the Habs go on their west coast road swing thy will either need to fly back and forth to Canada, fly with the masses on commercial flights, or go back to their junior or minor league days and ride the bus.

This is clearly a travesty. I believe this to be a conspiracy by the Yanks to give a competitive edge to their teams. No wonder we haven't heard a peep from Bettman on this. You do not mess with Hockey in Canada. Deadspin nailed it.

This might be the only thing that could actually unify the country to mobilize. A call to arms and a reminder to keep your sticks on the ice.

Pace out.
