Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>I am not one of them but I know of at least 4 vintage hockey collectors on this board, two who are genuine Canadians. I know they're genuine Canadians as, when quizzed, each named Ottawa as the capital-- and an American obviously wouldn't know that.

Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>You wouldnt believe the atmosphere here in Montreal these days. After every Habs win, cars are honking their horns and people are partying on the streets ALL NIGHT! You'd think that Montrealers would be a little more "used" to all of this after the 24 Stanley Cups, but apparently that's not the case.<BR><BR>Bonne chance à la meilleure équipe dans l'histoire d'hockey, les Canadiens!

Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>Chicago used to have a team, and a great arena.<BR><BR>On a serious note, us vintage collectors should really make an effort to liven up the non-baseball board. Either that or we should drive David and Bill crazy with hockey talk.<BR><BR>Albie, forgive Ben for his heresy, he's just upset that his team couldn't even make the playoffs, so he's jumped on the bandwagon of another team. Ben, which team will you cheer for when Montreal is out in four straight?

Posted By: <b>will watson</b><p>Ben,<BR>looks like Tampa Bay is a tough team. the Habs' chances rest in the hands of Theodore, who has been outstanding (at least this afternoon). <BR><BR>if anyone here collects 1910 Sweet Caporal postcards (a "parallel" to the c55 set), 1932 O'Keefe Maple Leafs, or 1971 Bazooka (impossibly tough set), let me know

Posted By: <b>Jeff O</b><p>In addition to collecting anything and everything related to hockey in Seattle (as you can see on my web site), I'm also still working on my C56 set and upgrading my V252 set - I have them all, but some are missing the coupons. If anyone has V252s with coupons, let me know!<BR><BR>Jeff<BR><a href="http://www.seattlehockey.net" target=_new>http://www.seattlehockey.net</a><BR>
