Leaders' debate or NHL playoffs?

Canadians have their priorities straight: The move's on to shift the date for a French-language televised election debate on Thursday because it will conflict with the opening game of the Montreal Canadiens' playoffs, the Toronto Star reports.
On the same topic, Fox News takes a mocking tone about our preference for watching playoff hockey over a political debate. Fox? Wasn't that the outfit that put video-like coloured tails on the puck during NHL games so American viewers could follow the little black disc?

Winter Classic: Toronto or Montreal?

C'mon NHL. It's time for a Winter Classic between the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs.
Rain delay aside today in Pittsburgh, the Penguins are rockin' with the organization of this year's event featuring an invitation minor hockey tournament and alumni game between the Pens and Capitals.
I'd vote for Montreal hosting the next classic - it's colder there - and the opposition just has to be the Leafs.
The minor hockey and alumni components would be a huge draw.
