Well..I'll give you an example...I couldn't tell you one team still in the stanley cup playoffs or what round its in and I actually DO pay attention to sports. Its just not that big in America, of course, someone will probably step in now and argue that it is...but it isn't. =)

Im sorry to say but that logic is flawed. The owners of the team, players and fans want to win like any other team. Just because it isnt as big in US doesnt mean the teams, players and fans dont want to win.
Some places in Canada Hockey isnt that big, but all the same they want to win. You dont have a team in a city, and that team decides "well its not that big here so lets not try to win so much"
Hehe, we have a Basketball team in Toronto, it isnt that big here but if they ever used the excuse "we didnt win cause its not that big here" i would laugh my ass off saying what kind of an excuse is that. I know B-ball isnt big in Canada, but if your going to have a team, its there to win.
