    The Habs haven't played that poorly so far.  I didn't have high hopes heading into this one but they're hanging in there.  They're going to need to figure out how to get some more quality shots through though, those have been few and far between.

     

    And on the randomness of the giveaway stat, Matheson and Laine have combined for one.  That feels more than a little light.

     

    Matheson is at 3 and counting by my count.  I have yelled "You stupid c**t" at the TV 4 times....one for each giveaway and the other was for his stick wave where he got burned to start the game.  I'm usually pretty accurate.

    As someone who has dual citizenship I can absolutely assure you that over the years I’ve had worse overall experiences with French Canadian CBP than any anglophone or American agents. 

     

    I always avoid the lane that has the bilingual designation on it for this very reason when I return by land.

    It's not only CBC, widely reported in multiple countries, including inside the US. Yes, probably 90% or more of the crossings are fine. But some agents are indeed aggressive, and being denied entry (or worse) is no fun. So, care in crossing is a good strategy.

     

    Interesting.  I've crossed into the US a lot (I live in a border town, and have flown in on many other occasions) and only once did I feel like agents were anything less than friendly and welcoming.  The difference in that case was that I was crossing into the US from Mexico rather than Canada, and at the time (mid-20s) I guess I fit the profile (very muscular, lean) of someone who might be trying to sneak steroids in.  They treated me like they were SURE I was, disregarding how illogical it would be for a Canadian vacationing in Arizona to cross into Mexico to smuggle illegal substances across one international border by land, and then try to smuggle it across another by air on the way home.  Waiting for officers to thoroughly search a rental car while standing in 101 degree heat was not fun.

    Be VERY cautious when crossing the border ... one wrong word, one unpopular post/tweet/text on your cell phone/tablet/laptop and you could miss the game.

     

    That is Carney government/CBC propaganda.  My brother went to the Carolinas/Florida recently, and US Customs could not have been nicer.

    Nope, I couldn't get any in the pre-sale or in the general public sale unfortunately. Now all the tickets are listed for 2x face value. Contemplating going to Washington instead, tickets are still available and are much cheaper

     

    If you've never been there before, and can take an extra day or two off to sight-see, it would be well worth it.  I've already been to Washington as a tourist.
