Hockey Night in Canada

Every boy across the land
ears glued to the radio set

Leafs against the Habs

Battle of the Plains of Abraham
fought again - shot by shot

The starting time for the Canadian leaders’ French-language debate last night was moved up to avoid conflict with the hockey game between the Montreal Canadiens (affectionately known as “the Habs”) and the Carolina Hurricanes. Final score: Montreal 4, Carolina 2

*The Battle of the Plains of Abraham was a defining battle between the French and English in Canada.
