Hilary's Got a New Pucking Dude

76. I don't think this relationship will last very long. He dated another actress where the relationship didn't last very long.

77. Come on guys! Why all the anti-American and anti-Canadian remarks?! This story is just about 2 people who are dating. The U.S has its good points and so does Canada. We have alot in common, and also things that give us our separate identitys. I am Canadian, and although I am proud of that, I am also happy to have the U.S as my neighbour. For all of you Canadians who want to trash the U.S. at every turn, give it a rest. So what if they don't know about the Brick! Why should they? There are plenty of things that you don't know about the American culture. And as for the Americans calling Canadians morons, give that a rest too!
We have as many intelligent people living here as the States does, and we have as many stupid and naive people living here as the States does. Everyone take a deep breath!!!

78. I have known Mike Comrie and his family for 25 years. The comments about him and his family on this site are amazingly innaccurate. There amazing period.

MIke is one of the most respected people among his player peers in the National Hockey League. Because he is a really decent young man. When he was traded from Edmonton, most all 23 members of the Oilers immediately came over to his home to wish him well. Not one of them has anything but good to say about Mike who stood up for what he believed in leaving Edmonton. They admired him for it. He maintains those relationships. Ryan Smythe, one of the greatest Oilers ever flew to Anaheim with his wife to support Mike in the Stanley Cup finals. Those who know Mike and his family well know that the trash spewed out by the uniformed is just that. Mike is a really nice young man.

In fact, of the hockey players I have know over the years, Mike is one I would promote dating one of my daughters. I cannot say that about many of these guys. Its because Mike hails from an amazing family that is more widely respected in Canada than almost any family here. It was once said about his Dad that he is the "only billionaire I know who is the a better Dad than a businessman." An amazing quote really. His Dad sold the company and gave his staff close to $50 million as a thank you for all their contributions to the company's success. How many people do that.

Mike is one of the most respected young men in hockey. He is a smaller player it is true and, not yet a star, but to suggests he sucks when he is a 2 time 30 goal scorer who has scored 20 goals every full season he has played in the NHL at just 26 yars of age. Those comments are more riduculous than anything.

And the suggestion about Eva Salo having cheated on her husband with anyone is just sickening. Eva is one of the kindest, sweetest people you will ever meet.To suggest that she had a liason while married with anyone is cruel and disrespectful. In fact, when these rumors arose, Eva had already moved back to Sweden. TMZ would be wise to delete these references because they are truly defamatory of Eva and untrue. Mike can handle that, but Eva and her young daughter do not deserve to be victimised by that kind of callous, unfounded atack. Its innappropriate and made without any foundation.

Mike is an extemely nice you man. A young man most mothers (me included) would be more than pleased to see dating their daughter. But, then again - I know him. Enough said.

Lets just hope that, in the future, all those who read these things will put all this in perspective. Some of the comments are actually informed most are not - you figure it out.

I live here. Canada is fine. Its not great. In January at 40 degrees below, I have often envied Mike living in Phoenix and LA. Come on - demanding a trade out of Edmonton to get to Phoenix and New York. Really, what sane young man would make other than the choices Mike has made. Give it a rest all of you jealous, get a life, nobodys.

Hillary is as lucky to meet Mike as I get the sense Mike is lucky meeting her. I guess we will all stay tuned. Hockey needs a royal couple. This could be fun to watch unfold.

Eva never....... Don't forget that.

79. Anyone who has lived in any major city in Canada for an extended period of time vs a major American city will tell you hands down that Canada is much better on so many different levels.

As someone who travels and has lived in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal as well as New York, LA, Miami - I can tell you first hand, the comparisons aren't even close.

As a native American - I fell in love with Canada almost instantly. The people aren't dirty, they're friendly...you can leave your front door unlocked - hell you can practically leave it open (even when you aren't home) and you won't have to fear some mongrel breaking in and stealing or destroying your belongings. Hundreds/thousands of people aren't getting killed on a daily basis, like in the US. Its a clean, safe place to live (which is a hell of a lot more than I can say about the US).

I will NEVER move back to the US...Canada is my home now. We have a health care system that actually works here - and the Canadian gov't doesn't spend trillions of dollars on their military to go to war (aka secure oil contracts) in the Middle East while completly neglecting their own people back at home.

As for Comrie...he's a 20-30 goal scorer a year...he's hardly a bum. He's worth millions of dollars, his family is worth hundreds of millions, he's tappin a pop-star - his life is going great. I can hardly believe he gives a ratz a** what any of you nerds think...he's doin the damn thing, doin LARGE things. So what if he tapped his teamates wife - she's a ho, obviously and his teamate was obviously not satisfying her.

You all need to grow up - come to Canada and find out how a real country is run.

80. Go easy on Canada...they gacve us great things like RUSH and Moosehead Beer and.......

81. I'm getting sick of all these Canadian haters.

For one, we do have paved roads!

Canada is who supplies most of your Oil. Why can't we all just grow up? Why do you all think Canada sucks? Have most of you been to Canada? I live in a province (Alberta) that is now debt free, can most of you Americans say your country is debt free? Can you say you get free health care? Didn't think so, but yet in your opinions we're less superior? Why? I really don't get this.

Now back on subject: Hilary, you could do better!

82. Hey...get your facts straight about Comrie. He was traded because he was caught doing Tommy Salo's wife with a strap-on. We need MEN, not plastic pricks!
And as for Hilary dating this flake, well, she better head to the Doctors soon. He double dips! I can't believe you'd do this to yourself, Ms.Duff!!
And as for US vs Canada? Please....save it for another forum! A round of Prozac for everyone! With a RedBull and Vodka chaser!

83. Canadian Gal here - and Comrie hater. He's rude, arrogant, and ignorant. Got into a scuffle with him once and he's a puss. And he is not THE "Heir to the Brick Fortune" - he has brothers, who actually work at The Brick. She deserves better.
As for those of you who claim that Canadians "suck" and that Edmonton is "an armpit", all you're proving is the world-wide view of Americans - you're rude, arrogant, and ignorant. Look at that, Comrie belongs down there!

C'mon home Mikey, so we can boo you some more, you wussy, whiney home wrecker!

84. Never mind that fact we USE electricity - a lot of the electricity you Americans consume - particularly in California and Detroit - IS SUPPLIED BY CANADA.

Typical American stupidity. No wonder people hate you!

85. OMG! all this is doing is making the canadians and americans argue. like geez we are all people who just happen to live on the same planet. like what have canadians done to make the americans all argue like this geez. and what have the americans done to make the canadians argue. Like, i dont get it. We should all respect one another. And if Hilary Duff has a new hockey boyfriend then u know that shes happy, and thats all that counts is her being happy.

Canadian Guy here...and Oiler/Edmonton HATER. Sorry but Edmonton is a hole. It has nothing to offer. For those hockey fans out there, the city can't even get a decent player to sign with the team as NO decent players (unless they're from the area and being overpaid - like Sheldon Souray) will want to play in that 'armpit' of a city (great analogy) - its so lame with little to offer (besides an aging megamall - whoopdidoo).

Congrats to Comrie for finally realizing it and leaving those Edmontonians/Oiler-fans in the dust - don't look back MC (even the Great One never looked back at those losers!!).

City of Champions my a** - more like City of Chumps!!!

Stay away from that city...stay far away.

87. We are supposed to be talking about Hilary Duff...correct? I am sick of reading all of these comments! Does anyone ever wonder why our world is falling apart? Have any of you thought about the fact that EVERYONE is entitled to an opinion? If people were writing about the intended topics the ignorant raging would stop! I believe it is time for all of you to grow up and stop bickering back and forth and saying demeaning things to each other! This world has enough hatred without the arguements started over who Hilary Duff is dating. God has the right to judge us, we DO NOT have the right to judge each other.

88. Must be from Calgary. :P

We all have things we love and hate about our cities. I grew up here; I love it here. There's lots to offer. If you can tell me you've spent more than a few weeks in this city and not found it's lovely side, you are a liar, or again, a Calgarian. Have your opinion; I'll have mine.

And yes, our team sucks and we can't get a good player. Blame it on the management; Lowe needs to stop sucking the tit and clean house. Not going to argue with that.

I can say from personal experience, that no matter how good of a player that Mike Comrie is - and yes, he is a very talented player - he's still rude, arrogant, and ignorant. I have first hand experience with this, from meeting him and his family. His father, Bill, is a great guy, his brother, Paul, a few too many concussions from when HE played in the NHL, but a nice enough fellow. Mike Comrie? Class A jerk.

89. Oilersfan

No I am not from Calgary but have visited the city and it has 100X more to offer than Deadmonton (& BTW I lived in Deadmonton for 2 years - so I know the place well, and hope I never have to return).

And I know Bill, I knew his late wife Thereasa, I know Mike, I know Paul, I know their sister Cathy as well. I knew them personally and I've known them for years. From your one negative experience of meeting the guy - you classify him as rude, arrogant, and ignorant. Give me a break. Because you're from deadmonton and might have ran into him one night and had a bad experience - you can't pigeon hole the guy into all of those classifications. He left deadmonton for good reason(s). His cheap-boss (Lowe) wanted him to take a paycut (which was absurd - and Lowe has continued to burn brigdes with his players or former players - re: Ryan Smyth, as well as turn the franchise into a joke), the fans were harassing him constantly (the guy couldn't even fill up his vehicle with gas without having to be bothered by all you star-strucked loonie Oiler-fans for 2 hrs) - anyone in his position would have wanted out.

You saying, from your very limited knowledge of the guy, that he is rude/arrogant/ignorant just highlights the fact that you are all of the above if, in one experience (or very limited experience) - you can classify someone as all those things is just ridiculous.

Get over it...he's left the city - he doesn't spend his time worrying what you deadmontonians think...he's moved on, you should too.

90. I know Mike Well:

Great post...those of us who know him, know him and his family are class-acts all the way.
