gay canadians...if the US actually put effort into developing their hockey programs they would easily destroy Canada like they do at every other sport. Go eat a dick faggot canadians. ONCE AGAIN THE CUP STAYS SOUTH OF THE BORDER GO BRUINS GO
@MentalEminence Wow your Mother must be proud!! The truth be told is that (as of the start of the 2011/12 NHL season Canadian born players in the NHL make up 54.4% of the league. So technically the only reason why any USA team might win is because they have to rely on the Canadians to supply the talent that America lacks. An American team may win but I would guess Canada would be the dominant nationality on the team. So any way you argue your point Canada wins. Your turn :) !!
I have been here for a NBA practice raptors! with my school cause we won this prize and where the camera is filming we were sitting just to the right Chris bosh live was pretty cool but my fav part was the Mascot he jumped off a trampoline and slam dunk!
I wish we had all plexi glass instead of the 80% tempered to take out at the GM Centre. The ice deck here also seems to fit together nicer, no problems hammering boards in near the ends too.
Some day a stadium that houses both a NHL and NBA team will build a arena so large it can have both basketball and Hockey being played at the same time
This would be a problem in the playoffs. If the one game was right after another, well at least the Leafs aren't making the playoffs and the Raptors are

who gives a shit about hockey. Only Canada. its sad how canada is obsessed with hockey and US barley gives two shits about it and US almost beat canada.
@heyyoheyyo1212 how is it sad that we proud canadians love hockey?? its a fun sport that pretty much makes every canadian happy plus its like part of our heritage and it gives us exercise and makes us tough and u fucktards ALMOST beat Canada but no u didnt we kicked ur ass and won gold so fuck off
@TheRaptorRapture How does it feel to be a pussy ass bitch who hides behind his computer screen and comes on the internet to mouth off to peoples because your too much of a coward to talk shit to anyone face to face ? ur not even worth my time.. this will be my last message to you because you have nothing but opinions not facts.. just know when u go to bed at night , that ur a pussy who would get his ass kicked if you talked that shit in REAL life.. not ur little internet life
@hanmerboys it is not the greatest sport in the world soccer is, soccer is proven to be the greatest sport in the world due to the fact that it is the most watched by far and most played BY FAR and you cant say hockey is the greatest because it cost 2000 to buy equipment to play aaa and 5000 to cover the season's cost soccer all you need is a ball and a patch of grass and soccer is the hardest sport to play all hockey players are just athletes, strong, fastsoccer players are skilled individuals
@grobari107 ahaha did you just say hockey does not take skill ahaha that funny anybody can kick a ball or run on grass it takes skill to master skating in the first place you need to start when your 4 at least to be any good soccer is a joke the only reson it is the most popular sports is becouse it is one of the oldest sports hockey was made in the 18 hundereds how old is soccer it is also a simple game run kick a ball around nothing dificult to it so be quiet
@hanmerboys if soccer is so easy to play then why does canada and america lick every south american and european country's balls for it but hockey, a sport played by 20 countries in the world takes more skill?, hockey is an athletes game you have to be big, you have to be strong, you dont need hands and learning how to skate is easy, ed jovanovski started playing hockey at 12 and he was first overall at 18 so there goes your point
@hanmerboys and soccer you need skill i can name you 50 amazing hockey players at around the same level the only exception is gretzky but soccer there are only 3 on another level pele maradona and messi (arguable for now) and guess what they are all smaller than 5'8" so dont tell me its just kick and chase its 50 times harder to control a soccer ball than a hockey puck defence is harder to penetrate in soccer you cant play soccer probably so you shouldnt talk i play both soccer is better
@skidragoon if soccer is not the sport that requires the highest skill what is? hockey it is the toughest teams that win, look at boston beating vancouver, philly making it to the finals last year, but the hawks werent a push over, now soccer the greatest team of all time has an average height of 5'8" and an average weight of 165 lbs. barcelona, a guy that is 5'8" and 165 lbs. would never make the nhl, hockey is athleticism and if you can keep up with the speed of the game, soccer is pure skill
@heyyoheyyo1212 you`re a fucking faggot and an idiot. the US has 10 times the population, but still cant put together a better team. your college hockey is bigger than ours as well dumb ass fucker.
I feel kind of stupid now. I always though the blue lines in hockey were layed ON TOP of the ice. But I guess its all some white fillet layed under. fuck I'm stupid. Great video btw. I'd love to watch this in person. Just to see how things change ever so quickly.
plus hockey is not the one thing we have left on earth u fuckin tard, we also have money and education two things u will obviously never have because your black and for some reason, like basketball
hockey: slapshots, wristshots, full on contact, snipes, penalty shootout, penalty shots, amazing saves, roughness, shooting into the crowd.
hockey is also in constant action, we dont stop the play if the puck goes over a line, so the action is longer, and when they score it makes it tht more exciting. and tht proves only rich ppl can play hockey, basketball is for ghetto ass ppl
@alexglauer what do you mean buy a new stadium they do that with all stadiums expet for the baseball an football, pluse this si only 10 years old and it may be small but it still is beautful and nice
@Funkme17th agreed. I have a new respect for those workers. They have like 3 hours to do all that if they are lucky, not to mention the cleaning of EVERY SEAT / ROW!
In case you didn't watch the video, it also shows the Zamboni going over the ice, and of the Leafs and Raptors game, and of the fans coming in and out. It takes as little as eight hours to prepare, but they filmed more than that, thus making the video being filmed over a 16 hour span.
harnageddon, have you ever been to Vancouver, it is very nice alot of culture and only east hastings is the pothead homless drugy section. Other than that, the city is awesome. I am from Montreal, now there is a city with class and culture, Toronto can suck my balls!!!!
chicago's united center does the same thing cuz of the bulls and blackhawks,,,ive always wanted to know how they did it.this has to be a pain in the ass job!!
that must take alot of work. id be an interesting job to do over and over again. i wonder if they get to watch hockey and basketball games for free? that'd be cool
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I am from Vancouver. Lol. Toronto looks like an awesome city, but theres not that much culture or "class". Maple Leafs also suck, but Canucks arent' doing that good right now too. Go Canucks Go!
toronto is the biggest city in canada and has the most diversity. in my opinion its the best city in canada next to montreal. no offence to you but i dont care much for vancouver other then whistler. dont know where you came up with the idea that toronto has not culture or class but you are clearly wrong. leafs will kick your ass in the future but in the meantime we will suck balls. GO HABS in the meantime. peace.
what are you talking about toronto has no class or diversity. Vancouver is a city full of homeless peple and potheads to say the least and the canucks suck!!!!
I believe the full turnaround time if you had to do it all in the same day, is approx 5 hours... I know it happens often enough at the Boston Fleet Center and NY's Madison Square Garden, where they have basketball games at 1pm, and a hockey game at 7pm, and they are able to tear it down in time. Now mind you, it's probably faster to tear down than it is to set up a basketball court, so say you added on another hour or two for set up time, and that should be your approx "Real Time"
the acc is mainly hockey.. if oyu look at the banners theres only 2 little raptors banners.. and like 30 maple leafs.. theres more to do with hockey as well. hockey rules
The ACC was originally made for basketball. And for the banners what would you expect? The leafs have been around for over 90 years and the Raps since 95.
actually no. the acc was built because the leafs needed a newer and bigger stadium to accomidate the large fan base. they soon figured that they could add a basketball arean to the blueprints. i watched a show on it so stfu buddy
The Air Canada Centre was started by the Toronto Raptors under its initial ownership group headed by Canadian businessman John Bitove. The groundbreaking was performed in March 1997.
"While construction was in progress, the Raptors and their partially-completed arena were purchased by MLSE. Prior to this development, the Maple Leafs had been contemplating building their own arena to replace the aging Maple Leaf Gardens. MLSE subsequently ordered major modifications to the original design, which was basketball-specific, such that the arena become more suitable for hockey."
people love baseball because it's an american tradition and is sorta exiting to watch, i don't love it, but i go to games just beacuse it's fun, so shut up
Is this guy under my comment fucking retarded or what? People have different view in spots you fucking idiot. Just cause hockey apeals to you more doesnt mean basketball isnt anything?..
"boatload of money to bounce a ball on a fake wooden floor and TRY to get it in a hoop" i dont see you doing it and making money?..thought so shut up kid
i agree, but u spelt sport wrong and then went and called him an idiot, so maybe TMeyer88 is right... naw ur both bitches. basketball is sport, and there is contact, thats how people get fouled. so you wrong
i can see why people watch football and hockey, but BASKETBALL? cmon, theres NO CONTACT, all your doin is gettin payed a boatload of money to bounce a ball on a fake wooden floor and TRY to get it in a hoop. i cant believe basketball is more popular than hockey, how stupid are us americans getting?
buddy, theres so many things wrong with what you said. 1, i dont know about you but im in a woodshop class and i have never seen "fake wood" thats like saying fake water. 2, trying to get the ball in a hoop. Last time i checked, Bosh's PPG was like 28.5, so i guess hes "tryin" pretty hard. 3rd, "boatload of money" Loungo is gettin paid like 6.5 mill to fo his job on average 30 times a game.
ya and a guy like Jermain O'neal is making 18 million a year` thats a lot more for a guy to pick and ball and try to shoot 10-15 times a game than a guy who gets frozen rubber disks shot at him at 100mph 25-40 times a game so ya do the math u fukin retard
ok, jermaine is gettin paid that much to score 20 a game, grab 10 boards, and get 2 blocks, for 82 fuckin games, on a knee thats more fucked then ur mom on a tuesday night. now are basketball players overpaid, sure. are hockey players underpaid, sure why not. BUT LOOK AT BASEBALL PLAYERS. pitchers get paid near 100 mill to do there jobs once a week for what really is 20 minutes if u take away all the time they spend standing on the mound. AND FUCK OFF, i wrote that comment like 2 or 3 weeks ago
and basketball isnt more popular than hockey...yet. Im in canada and people up here kill over hockey. you've obviously never meet a Habs fan. they WON a game and set cop cars on fire. Leafs Fans average over 10 fights per game jus because some1 isnt wearing white and blue. and even football. i understand its a physical sport cuz i play it and im a fan myself, but theyre gettin paid to play 16 games a year
Oh, and hockey is certainly not at the bottom, considering it's played all over north america and all over europe. American football would more likely be at the bottom since nobody plays it outside of North America.
lets compare the players than shall we? I think its no contest. Or maybe the popularity in general? No contest. However, people have their own opinions. Here's mine, basketball is a game of champions. The things they do in the NBA are inhuman. The only thing hockey has is hitting. But the goals in the NHL look so bad and when they dump that puck down to the other end of the ice to kill time every minute is the most frustrating thing. With boundaries, and shot clocks. NBA is fast, and mindblowing
I don't think I said NBA was the fastest, nor do I think that just because a sport is fast, makes it the best. Your obviously going to be faster on skates, and no out-of-bounds.
whats so fun to watch someone finally score after like a freakin hour into the game. They only score like 3 goals a game. In NBA you score like 100 pts per game.
Basketball is better than hockey eh? It's just sad for you that Canada only has ONE basketball team, and that's in Toronto, compared to the countless number of hockey teams all over the country. Which does the public prefer more? Obviously it's hockey!
Like Stompin' Tom Connors always sings: "Oh! The good old hockey game, Is the best game you can name; And the best game you can name,
We have six hockey teams, that's not countless... it's six. And just because there are more hockey teams doesn't mean much, quite the biased opinion you have.
there is a reason why hockey is on the bottom of the sports totem pole in every country but canada. but then again, canadians like curling too. so that says all you need to know about the round bacon eating, curling loving, frigid weather having morons.
Like everyone says, sports/athletics in canada are no where near what they are in other countries. Fans hardly care in Canada. But in countries like the U.S... even high school sports are taking seriously. This is coming from a Canadian btw and I wish we had a bball program atleast 1/4 of that in the U.S.
gay canadians...if the US actually put effort into developing their hockey programs they would easily destroy Canada like they do at every other sport. Go eat a dick faggot canadians. ONCE AGAIN THE CUP STAYS SOUTH OF THE BORDER GO BRUINS GO

- 3 are American born (LMAO)

- 2 were born in Czechoslovakia
- and 1 is from Finland.
The cup may be in Boston but it is owned by Canadian players. Do yourself a favor quit while your ahead....you've met you superior!!!

toronto is the biggest city in canada and has the most diversity. in my opinion its the best city in canada next to montreal. no offence to you but i dont care much for vancouver other then whistler. dont know where you came up with the idea that toronto has not culture or class but you are clearly wrong. leafs will kick your ass in the future but in the meantime we will suck balls. GO HABS in the meantime. peace.

what are you talking about toronto has no class or diversity. Vancouver is a city full of homeless peple and potheads to say the least and the canucks suck!!!!

You dont have to worry about the canucks there golfing on the same courses as the leafs are now.

hockey is better than basketball in my opinion but still basketball is an awesome sport, not to mention that it was invented by a Canadian!

I believe the full turnaround time if you had to do it all in the same day, is approx 5 hours... I know it happens often enough at the Boston Fleet Center and NY's Madison Square Garden, where they have basketball games at 1pm, and a hockey game at 7pm, and they are able to tear it down in time. Now mind you, it's probably faster to tear down than it is to set up a basketball court, so say you added on another hour or two for set up time, and that should be your approx "Real Time"

the acc is mainly hockey.. if oyu look at the banners theres only 2 little raptors banners.. and like 30 maple leafs.. theres more to do with hockey as well. hockey rules
MikeDegen8 3 years ago
The ACC was originally made for basketball. And for the banners what would you expect? The leafs have been around for over 90 years and the Raps since 95.
WWE2K9X 2 years ago
actually no. the acc was built because the leafs needed a newer and bigger stadium to accomidate the large fan base. they soon figured that they could add a basketball arean to the blueprints. i watched a show on it so stfu buddy

The Air Canada Centre was started by the Toronto Raptors under its initial ownership group headed by Canadian businessman John Bitove. The groundbreaking was performed in March 1997.

"While construction was in progress, the Raptors and their partially-completed arena were purchased by MLSE. Prior to this development, the Maple Leafs had been contemplating building their own arena to replace the aging Maple Leaf Gardens. MLSE subsequently ordered major modifications to the original design, which was basketball-specific, such that the arena become more suitable for hockey."

Is this guy under my comment fucking retarded or what? People have different view in spots you fucking idiot. Just cause hockey apeals to you more doesnt mean basketball isnt anything?..
"boatload of money to bounce a ball on a fake wooden floor and TRY to get it in a hoop" i dont see you doing it and making money?..thought so shut up kid
4008769 3 years ago
i agree, but u spelt sport wrong and then went and called him an idiot, so maybe TMeyer88 is right... naw ur both bitches. basketball is sport, and there is contact, thats how people get fouled. so you wrong
KemarG33 3 years ago
yes because i bet you are gettin payed $10 mil +. I bet you dont even have a job. you sould get out of your parent's basement and see some culture.
TMeyer88 3 years ago
i can see why people watch football and hockey, but BASKETBALL? cmon, theres NO CONTACT, all your doin is gettin payed a boatload of money to bounce a ball on a fake wooden floor and TRY to get it in a hoop. i cant believe basketball is more popular than hockey, how stupid are us americans getting?
TMeyer88 3 years ago
buddy, theres so many things wrong with what you said. 1, i dont know about you but im in a woodshop class and i have never seen "fake wood" thats like saying fake water. 2, trying to get the ball in a hoop. Last time i checked, Bosh's PPG was like 28.5, so i guess hes "tryin" pretty hard. 3rd, "boatload of money" Loungo is gettin paid like 6.5 mill to fo his job on average 30 times a game.
KemarG33 3 years ago
ya and a guy like Jermain O'neal is making 18 million a year` thats a lot more for a guy to pick and ball and try to shoot 10-15 times a game than a guy who gets frozen rubber disks shot at him at 100mph 25-40 times a game so ya do the math u fukin retard
ericwatson3 3 years ago
ok, jermaine is gettin paid that much to score 20 a game, grab 10 boards, and get 2 blocks, for 82 fuckin games, on a knee thats more fucked then ur mom on a tuesday night. now are basketball players overpaid, sure. are hockey players underpaid, sure why not. BUT LOOK AT BASEBALL PLAYERS. pitchers get paid near 100 mill to do there jobs once a week for what really is 20 minutes if u take away all the time they spend standing on the mound. AND FUCK OFF, i wrote that comment like 2 or 3 weeks ago
KemarG33 3 years ago
and basketball isnt more popular than hockey...yet. Im in canada and people up here kill over hockey. you've obviously never meet a Habs fan. they WON a game and set cop cars on fire. Leafs Fans average over 10 fights per game jus because some1 isnt wearing white and blue. and even football. i understand its a physical sport cuz i play it and im a fan myself, but theyre gettin paid to play 16 games a year
KemarG33 3 years ago
ya thats why i love canada they breathe hockey.
but in america, people go INSANE over basketball and dont even know who Wayne Gretzky is!

Oh, and hockey is certainly not at the bottom, considering it's played all over north america and all over europe. American football would more likely be at the bottom since nobody plays it outside of North America.

noisyclass 3 years ago
lets compare the players than shall we? I think its no contest. Or maybe the popularity in general? No contest. However, people have their own opinions. Here's mine, basketball is a game of champions. The things they do in the NBA are inhuman. The only thing hockey has is hitting. But the goals in the NHL look so bad and when they dump that puck down to the other end of the ice to kill time every minute is the most frustrating thing. With boundaries, and shot clocks. NBA is fast, and mindblowing

canadaguy124 3 years ago 3
I don't think I said NBA was the fastest, nor do I think that just because a sport is fast, makes it the best. Your obviously going to be faster on skates, and no out-of-bounds.

wow b-ball is so gay to watch ice hock is so much faster pace and exicting also
Dwal13 3 years ago
whats so fun to watch someone finally score after like a freakin hour into the game. They only score like 3 goals a game. In NBA you score like 100 pts per game.
ManOFsTeeL116 3 years ago
ya but in hockey they usualy score about 7 goals a game there is big hits fights big saves and way more action than basketball

Basketball is better than hockey eh? It's just sad for you that Canada only has ONE basketball team, and that's in Toronto, compared to the countless number of hockey teams all over the country. Which does the public prefer more? Obviously it's hockey!
Like Stompin' Tom Connors always sings: "Oh! The good old hockey game, Is the best game you can name; And the best game you can name,
Is the good old Hockey game!"

We have six hockey teams, that's not countless... it's six. And just because there are more hockey teams doesn't mean much, quite the biased opinion you have.

there is a reason why hockey is on the bottom of the sports totem pole in every country but canada. but then again, canadians like curling too. so that says all you need to know about the round bacon eating, curling loving, frigid weather having morons.

Like everyone says, sports/athletics in canada are no where near what they are in other countries. Fans hardly care in Canada. But in countries like the U.S... even high school sports are taking seriously. This is coming from a Canadian btw and I wish we had a bball program atleast 1/4 of that in the U.S.
