Boston vs. Montreal - again - ON VIDEO!

And in song! And dance!

On this day that is purported to be Canada's day, let us pit the videoclip which features two Montreal Canadiens (dancing - a latino dance, of all things! A bogus, farcical latino dance, to be precise!) up against the videoclip from a true musical talent (several true ones, to be exact) which features two Boston Bruins - who even go as far as playing the guitar for the occasion, fittingly enough! All four players are from the same era (early 1990's) which is a saintly era for the simple and good reason that it is when the Bruins dominated the Canadiens on and off the ice, as these videos will show you without a shadow of a doubt...! The two hated Habs, though, somehow stole the Stanley Cup of 1993 - even though the Boston Bruins had the best record of the entire NHL that year and were the clear favorite to win it all!  How did this abomination happen, you ask? Blame the Bruins: they eliminated themselves in the first round of the 1993 playoffs, clearing the way for their foes who, ultimately, never met any true competition on that dire. disappointing (not to mention harrowing) springtime tournament...

But that is all another story - and the past, which we cannot change, so anyway...

Onwards to the videos - and their stalwart cameos!


First off - La Canada featuring comedic impersonator André-Philippe Gagnon along with disgraced and fired coach Denis Savard -then a scrawny forward- and disgraced and fired coach -then a defensive forward- Guy Carbonneau... (Note that even a local TV station there, MuchMusic to name it, CANNOT GET IT RIGHT: they credit the video-clip as ''Le Canada'' which would be right in any other mention of the God-Forsaken country EXCEPT HERE!  For this ridiculous song is NOT so much (pun intended, of course) about the country as it is truly all about a fictional dance ABOUT IT!  In French, a dance is a feminine thing - and, so, the title is LA Canada... Muchdumbasses!  You don't even know the specifics of your own ''official language'' (the second one, but still) - that is PATHETIC!  But I digress...)  




And now the true musical artist(s) here - Extreme with Boston's own front office man Cam Neely -then the best right winger in the NHL- and enforcer extraordinaire Lyndon Byers!




Now, you tell me which you prefer to listen to the most: Gary Cherone being an original soulful artist, or A-P Gagnon's easy impersonation of Julio Englesias...!

Nuno Bettencourt's mastery of the guitar - or mock "Jean Chrétien" playing the drums!

Neely's rock'em sock'em style or Savard's sappiness!!!


The choice is yours...!

Boston vs Carolina

The top-seeded Boston Bruins are squaring off with the Carolina Hurricanes right now - and, instead of comparing the two here as I could have easily done...

(Boston - top-notch organization, an Original, rock-solid...
Carolina - used to be based in Hartford, not-so-stable...
Boston - a great blend of new talent with veteran saavy
Carolina - a rag-tag collection of misfits and leftovers!
Boston - a team worthy of a championship
Carolina - a bunch that should make their exit NOW...
Boston - well-served by a mascot that is appropriate
Carolina - has a mascot that doesn't make any sense!
What has a PIG got to do with HURRICANES?
Only Pablo Picasso would know... or would have come up with something so absurd?
But I am digressing now...!)

I choose to go with BOSTON - the great band with legendary status!
And, as its counterpart, a little-known upstart band that is hoping for some kind of status soon - Carolina Liar!

A liar...

'Nuff said, methinks...

Aye, there are other tunes included here - you may, if you wish, subdivide the hostilities down to several mid-card match-ups here, such as:
Simple Minds versus the Everly Brothers (?!?)
Nightwish versus 10cc
Eric Carmen versus Clint Mansell
or Calla versus the Kronos Quartet...!
But PLEASE - leave BOSTON (soundly defeating) CAROLINA LIAR as the MAIN EVENT... thank you!
