The Habs or the Leafs?

That’s the question at hand as Canadians try to nail down, once and for all, which is “Canada’s Team.”

According to a new poll, one-third of Canadians believe the Montreal Canadiens are Canada’s team, while 47 percent of them consider the Canadiens to be “the greatest hockey team in history.”

On top of that, 65 percent of those polled said that the Canadiens are to Canada what the New York Yankees are to the United States. Yankee haters would agree that’s not necessarily a compliment.

“To a large number of Canadians, hockey is Canada and the Montreal Canadiens are hockey’s greatest success story,” said Andrew Cohen, president of The Historica-Dominion Institute — which is dedicated to promoting Canadian history and conducted the poll, which was reported by The National Post.

Meanwhile, the lead singer of the band Glass Tiger (you might remember the ’80s hit, “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)” — that was them) is facing some heat from folks outside the Greater Toronto area for the song, “Free to Be (a.k.a. “The Leafs Song”).

Alan Frew wrote the song as an anthem for the Maple Leafs, and it has been used to rile up the crowd at home games this season. But one line, in which he sings, “Oh! Oh! Oh! This is Canada’s team. Go Leafs Go!”

“I knew full well what I was getting into with the ‘Canada’s team,’ ” Frew told The National Post. “I grew up with the Glasgow Rangers and Celtic (Scottish soccer rivalry), and I didn’t know you were supposed to write a song for your team that pleases the other guys. It is about antagonizing the other guys. And the other thing is, if you don’t like my song: too bad. Write your own song.”

Finally, the NHL approved the sale of Canada’s Team — that’s the Montreal Canadiens, in this case — back to the Molson family (yes, the beer people), which will take control of the team for the third time, according to the CBC.
