(at the bottom) Good to see Gord lending his support to the boys. It would certainly pump me up hearing that.
During the pregame today they said that Steve Downie got an fax or email (cant recall) from Gord Downie that said
"I like your game. We have some things in common, same name, and we both can't play guitar very well"
They then explained steve downie has his guitar over seas and is annoying the team with his playing.

What was the quote? I'm trying to watch the game on TSN.CA... but they've reached their max!
I thought that they said that they left the team a note before the game, they put it up but i didn't get a chance to read it, anyone know what it said?
it said something like:
"it's a pleasure to watch you guys......
thank you
thank you
thank you
ps. (Steve) Downie...I like the way you play, keep strumming your guitar....

thanks man
Yeah they showed the note briefly on the screen, didn't catch exactly what it said but the main part was a short paragraph wishing the team good luck and the thank yous noted above. The ps was something like "(To Steve) from one Downie who can't play the guitar to another, keep strumming..."
The announcer (I think it was James Cybulski) explained that Downie is a big Hip fan, and that at first when shown the message he thought it was a practical joke and not actually really from The Hip. Cybulski then said "trust me the hip don't joke about about their hockey," and then it cut back to the game.
Great first period btw!
I knew that new Shaw PVR would come in handy.....

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
PS..... and Steve (Downie) from one Downie Who-Can't-Play-Guitar to another - I say "Don't Stop!" (no matter what they say). "Play to Live and Live to Play!" Keep bashin' that G chord brutha! You don't have to master the guitar, you (xxxxx, xxxxx) himself with it. Respect, G.

As the camera panned out, the words got really blurry, hence the (xxxxx, xxxxx). I tried to decipher it but to no avail.

downie of team canada received the note from gord and thought his team was f...ing with him,as he is a huge hip fan.the broadcaster made the comment about the hip.
They also said Downie (the player) has tix for one of the upcoming Hip shows.. forget which one exactly.
