TRUE PATRIOT LOVE: The sporting world is abuzz over tonight's opening of the Stanley Cup Finals. Actually it should be a great series, but even as a hockey fan and a person that covers the sport, it's hard to get fired up over a Calgary vs. Tampa Bay matchup. (Well, it seems some people are excited by it.) Since this is the first Finals series in a decade to feature a Canadian club, ESPN's Page 2 has a list today of the Ten Greatest Canadians. Some may quibble with the exclusion of Dr. Frederick Banting, a Nobel Prize winner who was the first researcher to treat diabetes with insulin, in favor of the rock band the Tragically Hip, or wrestler Bret Hart making the list over James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, but at least Celine Dion, Bryan Adams, and Tom Green fell short.
