FWIW the Canadiens haven't been consistently a top performing team since the early 1990s.  A semifinals appearance is still forward progress over a first round loss last year and missing the playoffs for three years prior to that.

Also, I'm amused at the irony in the previous reply.  I distinctly recall a time during which claims that the NHL favored the Maple Leafs and Canadians was a common occurrence. 

Almost like Canadian teams SHOULD be favored...

Why an advantage though?  In the other sports the Canadian teams have been competitive despite having way of a footprint than what they got in the NHL.  The Raptors won an NBA title recently and the Blue Jays got pretty close to a World Series title last year.

And let's go a step further by wishing the return of the 4-door hardtop as well.

And it's hard to believe but Toyota, Datsun/Nissan and Mazda offered 4-door hardtops in Japan until the 1990s.

Based on what? Was there an announcement by FHWA or LaDOTD announcing Alt. 1 as the Preferred Alternative?? Or, is this based on feels alone? 

If it is indeed Alt. 1, then expect the Loop It folks to bring out the lawyers and sue to stop the project. They won't be successful, of course, but this will drag on for a bit more of a while.

Most people don't want a vehicle that actually stands out.  A minivan despite being uncool does exactly that.

Kind of stretching the phrase "stand out" there. It's not the most common vehicle body type, but I wouldn't expect it to turn heads driving down the street.

Unless you mean that its uncoolness is what separates it from the rest (in a bad way).

How exactly is that a stretch?  Most vehicles resemble each other, and they more often than not are sold with very generic color schemes.  A lot of people view vehicles and appliances and there isn't necessarily anything wrong with automakers trying to cater to that mindset if it is profitable.

Fuck Raleigh, fuck North Carolina, and fuck Gary Bettman for sucking off America while the actual place hockey comes from gets shafted.
