[Shotimes] Re:NHL Was:NASCAR numbnuts

[Jason Hartberger]

Well, I'm talking about REAL americans here, not just people with US
citizenships. If you're swedish, and you have a US citizenship, you're STILL
SWEDISH as far as I'm concerned with hockey. In other respects, yeah, if you
have a U.S. citizenship, you're american, but I'm trying to make a
distinction here.
