You might have heard there’s a hockey game tonight. And, I’m laying it on the line for my country!

Ambassador Gary Doer, Canada’s fine Ambassador to the U.S., and I have the following bet on the Vancouver-Boston series. And I don’t have to tell you who I’m betting on.

I read an article over the weekend about how the Canadian restaurant chain Boston Pizza was changing the names of its restaurants in Vancouver – at least during the Stanley Cup – to Vancouver Pizza.

To that end, we will match Boston Pie against Vancouver Pie.

If the Vancouver Canucks win the Stanley Cup I will treat my friend Ambassador Doer to a Vancouver (or maybe it will be back to Boston) Pizza Pie.

If the Boston Bruins win, Ambassador Doer will treat me to a Boston (or maybe they will change it to Vancouver) Cream Pie at the Parker House in Boston.

Either one goes well with beer. Game on!
