I wouldn't say that's necessarily being rude, but it does beg the question. Like once when Bob Costas was paying tribute to the late great Dan Kelly "...whoever is second,is closer to third,fourth, fifth, or sixth..."That could be said about how great an athlete Mike Sharpe was. Now, who is going to take that place? Who could be called Canada's greatest athlete? Lanny Poffo, Lori Fung? Steve Fonyo?Robb Wells (floor hockey)? We all agree on who is Canad's greatest rock and roll, band, but who is Canada's new greatest athlete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestling is not fake!!!!!! I had friends who thought it was real. Funny stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If you are going Blonde and drop the Canadian component then go Concrete Blonde- Jannette Napolitano(sp) has/had and amazing voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabinessence Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Due to so many people talking about the band we all love, the powers that be on this site have asked me (and likely hundreds others) not to bring them up (we need to diversify the topics and not just keep praising the same band). Let's just say a three piece outta Calgary. The biggest question was why they didn't get chosen for the Canucks goal song. Likely the reason is, the team went to using individual goal songs and they didn't want to be potentially playing 18 different songs by the same band.

Perhaps it is because the mods prefer a more horrible Toronto based trio. I can't consider a wrastler to be our greatest athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, I would take someone like Georges St-Pierre in the fighter category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured you'd "Jump" at the chance and "This Could Be The Night" you mention that "Notorious" band. Then we'd be "Lovin' Every Minute Of It" "When It's Over" but alas we are not "The Lucky Ones".
