This? Needs to be made into a fic.

Canadians = red shirts
Czechs = white shirts

Canadian Owen Nolan, the central figure in a wild melee at the world hockey championships, says he has nothing to apologize for. ... "As far as what I did, I'd probably do it again," Nolan said Thursday. "I've never seen stickwork like that in my life. I've never been speared so much in my whole career, let along one game."

...

In Finland's largest daily newspaper, the Helsinki Sanomat, columnist Juhani Syvainen wrote: "The Canadian professionals . . . should be ashamed of themselves. Owen Nolan was not the only anti-hero on the ice. Canadians attacked the Czechs in such an organized way that you might have suspected the coach gave the order to attack." Canadian coach Andy Murray denied the charge, alleging the Czechs are considered the dirtiest hockey team in Europe because of their stickwork.

C'mon, Rodney and Radek would so fight about this.

Also, three songs I posted to

audiography:

Dar Williams - I Had No Right
And all my country saw were priests who broke the law.
First it was question, then it was a mission,
How to be American, how to be a Christian,
If the law is their cross, and the cross is burning...

Les Miserables - Do You Hear the People Sing?
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart, echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes

Assassins - Another National Anthem
There are those who love regetting,
There are those who like extremes,
There are those who thrive on chaos
And despair.
There are those who keep forgetting
How the country's built on dreams

Five For Fighting - America Town
Here in the borders of America Town
All of the dollies are spinning round and round
Hail to the chief
Let's just drag them all down
There's got to be a hero somewhere
