So I'm sitting there and my brother hands me my ticket... this is when this scrappy looking crazy wierd guy starts talking.

Guy: Going to the hockey game?
Me: Yep.

Guy: Who are they playing?
Me: Vancouver

Guy: Ah, the Canadians...
Me: No, its the Vancouver Canucks

Guy: They are the canadians right?
Me: No, thats Montreal.

*Now the guy is getting agitated*

Guy: Yea, they are Canadian!
Me: Well, ya, the city is in Canada... but they aren't the Canadians. That's Montreal.

Guy: Ya, but they are Canadian!
Me: Well, I'm sure some of the players on the team are Canadian... and the team is located in Canada...

Guy: Exactly, what I said, they are Canadian.
Me: I guess so then...

Guy: See, I was right.
Me: Uh... ya.
It's the Montreal Canadiens.

And if you're from there, its Les Habitants.

Or if you're an English speaking Montrealer, it's The Habs

That's where you went wrong. You should have said "Canadiens" :) :p

Edit: Doh, beat me to it.

He's from the Pennsylvania province of China, didn't you read?

It's our sister province. We American Pennsylvanians are very proud.

We have a thriving and vital relationship.

We send them Bibles and condoms, they stock our dollar stores with crap.

Why do you say you are from "the States"?

I only find foreigners calling America that, usually I just say I'm from America, and not "the States."

"The States" seems much more natural if you're in a foreign country at the time.
