Today it would be wrong to where a Maurice Richard sweater. It would be more appropriate to wear a banker's suit and tie.

[Torontocollapse]

Leafs are a big joke. But it's not about players anymore. It's not even about the teams. It's about the tycoons who own the teams and squeeze every cent of profit.

[lthe6thkira]

yep the best team ever in hockey thats why the leafs beat them with 2 lines 2 defence men and 1 goalie in the stanely cup finals during the second world war (the only way any hab can do good wartime players)

[CANADASOCCERMAN13]

lafs are the best

[alexiofilms]

Go Habs Go. Canada's team.

[A350Airways]

For this season, I wish the Leafs could win the Cup so that it would teach these Bruins a lesson. Next year, though, unless they trade their first-rounder to a team I hate, Golf Leafs Golf!

But, if this story was written today, it would have been a Bruins jersey instead. Go Habs Go!

[1prouddemocrat]

@A350Airways the Maple Leafs were the traditional rival of the Canadiens for national (British/French Canadian divide) as well as cultural reasons. At the old Maple Leaf Gardens they would sing "God Save the Queen" before every game and until the 1970's, there was a portrait of Her Majesty the Queen hung in the rafters. I think if the Leafs didn't suck today, there would still be a meaningful rivalry between them and the Habs.

[obiwanobiwan13]

And besides all that, it shows how hockey is so firmly embedded into Canada's national culture, like baseball and football are here.

I mean, if you're a kid growing up in Boston, and your mom makes you wear a New York Yankees hat she ordered by accident, or if you live in Los Angeles and you root for the 49ers and wear their jersey in Raider Territory...you know what I mean.

I'm a die-hard New York Mets fan and San Francisco 49ers fan and Anaheim Ducks fan--ALL HATED IN LA! XD

HOCKEY!

[obiwanobiwan13]

Wow, I thought I was being set up for the kid "accepting things and blah blah blah and his moom loved him and all that" and becoming a Maple Leafs fan or something...

Instead, he reacts the way an actual kid would act--"NOT THE LEAFS!" XD

Poor kid...I mean, not the end of the world, there are worse things, but really--his mom was the one whoi goofed, and who cares if some shipper is "insulted?"

And he has to go ask forgiveness for breaking his stick in anger?

I would too! GO DUCKS!

[iLuvBarRefaeli]

@obiwanobiwan13 Go ducks, lmao what are you doing watching a Canadian classic, and actually millions of children in Canada love the Leafs soo yea.

[obiwanobiwan13]

@iLuvBarRefaeli I LOVE hockey...and it was the offseason when I watched it, so I was craving any hockey/hockey-related material, as my Mets were already eliminated from contention and my 49ers sucked (though now they're doing well again...hooray!)

But I DO love hockey, and Canada, I hope to visit someday, it looks like you guys have a really nice country up there...and I'll have to go see a hockey game, of course, when In visit (hooray for the jets coming back, too!)

It's a good cartoon, too.

[TinhVutXaUocMo]

@obiwanobiwan13 yeah go ducks!

[514Loso]

HAHAHAHA LOL YEAH FUCK LEAFS 

[gobears1987]

Habs suck, keep on rioting when you miss the playoffs without Halak. Carey Price won't win you the cup.

[t3m3lk0bg]

@gobears1987 hahahahahahahaahhahaahhah :D:D:D:D:D:D:D i'd like to see some stats about this..hmmm...

[MotorCity1370]

Who pushed the dislike button?? So pleased to see this classic again!

[Raptorsrock08]

I seriosuly dont like this kid but this story is a classic tht cant be forgotten

Go Leafs Go!

[CH1PP0]

This story is so Canadian, it's quoted on our money.

God this takes me back.

[hkshadi]

whooaa i stil have to book i remember when i won tthe book when i was 7 years old =) great story go habs go!!!

[Paugoodle]

I saw this for the first time on HBO in 1980-82. Before remote controls were available. Glad we have access to classics like this!

[imajeepster]

LOL, i love the priest crossing himself in front of the radio!!!

GO HABS GO!!!

[TheExeter]

"Don't think you can lay down the law around here just because you wear the Maple Leafs sweater". LOL. I haven't seen this in so many years. I remember watching this at school so many times in the 70's. I lived an hour from Buffalo so some kids liked the Sabres, the bullies always chose Philly and the rest were either Leafs or Habs fans so I got mocked from all angles with my #35 BlackHawks jersey on the frozen pond.

[vinniedisco7]

just beautiful

[dadm1975]

I remember watching this on BBC UK around 18-20 years ago......thanks for posting.

[mulligan14]

I love this country. To me this embodies Canada better than anything.

[habman19]

This might be the best pure Canadiana video ever! Growing up in Toronto as a Montreal Canadiens fan I always wondered how a kid my age viewed the Habs in their home province...and this gave me a very clear idea. Just a great job by Monsieur Carrier!

[nperkin]

This piece of pure Canadiana is actually quoted on the back of the Canadian Five Dollar note: The winters of my childhood were long, long seasons. We lived in three places - the school, the church and the skating rink - but our real life was on the skating rink.

[xirtamx]

I so missed this video from childhood!!

The best Canadian living video ever!!

[klein77]

poor kid!

[Claymationclay]

Excellent

The sound quality is not the best though.

[angustus5]

lol brought me back to blizzards,cbc and hot choco...

[appeasedsouls]

Awesome! Thanks for posting this!
