    2. soooooooo the jouons le hockey didnt work out. Canaduh’s national sport?
      has been swapped out for leftist whining and catering to the gender dillusional.

      much much more money involved. so much its certain to create an entire new field and class of fraudsters. all with LIEberal gubbamint blessing. because . . . . . . . taxpayer.

    1. The response from Alberta…

      “America just prevented the single greatest, most arrogant, entitled Canadian bragging and moral-superiority meltdown in world history.

      Had they won? The “Ugly Canadian” would’ve been unleashed: nonstop gloating, entitlement, condescension, preening, and fake moral high-ground lectures everywhere.

      Instead? Instant cope, victimhood and contempt: “Canada was the better team!” and “it wasn’t fair!”

      Newsflash: In hockey, the better team is the one that WINS. The scoreboard doesn’t lie.

      Losing both hockey golds to America is pure grand karma after the disgusting entitlement so many Canadian athletes showed this entire Olympics.”

      1. Thruppence and sixpence every day … is all I have left after pay day
        Thruppence and sixpence each day … is the value of my Canadian Loon-ie

        My favorite WHO tune … pre-Who’s Next.

      2. Allow me to ADD … the theme song of the Great White North … yeah, the lyrics are quite depressing …

        But my dreeee ee ee eems they aren’t as empty (yeah … they are)
        As my conscience seems to be (got that right)

        https://youtu.be/dMrImMedYRo?si=__ZZsjs32XKKR4IJ

        Yeah … Canada is the concrete obelisk on the lp cover … and the band of USA brothers just did what the WHO band did … and we’re zipping it up …

          2. Stevie, Stevie, Stevie … that was “Research” … for another Rock Opera about a … gagged, drugged, blindfolded little gamer girl … sure knows a mean anime!

  4. 1) I did not know there was a hockey game on TV,
    2) nor who was playing in it,
    3) because I don’t care. At all. In any way. I hate hockey, I hate professional sports generally, and I -hate- the Olympics and wish them a speedy bankruptcy.

    So to hear the the USA beat Canada at the Olympics, and that ElbowsUp morons all over 51st state of Canuckistan are losing their little tiny minds over it… eh. I’ll have a little sip of hot schadenfreude and get on with my day.

    Scream louder, #ElbowsUp People. Cry me a big mug of #Lieberal tears.

    1. I liked pro sports much more in my younger days … before woke idiocy … woke racism … took them over. The ownership is no longer interested in their old white fan base … but are playing to the majority idiot minorities playing their $Billion games.

    2. When I hear “elbows up!” I want to follow it up with a “buck, buck, buck!”. Because I automatically think of the chicken dance.

      Yes, I know, I should just buckoff!

  6. That’s hilarious.
    The guy wearing the Montreal sweater is obviously retarded.

    I think the payroll for the Canadian pros was $191 million.
    That’s USD.
    The American teams’ was a few million higher.

    Megan Oldman, as one example, who won gold for Canada in Big Air, is what the Olympics is all about.

    2. I’m looking forward to spring and summer at the cottage near Parry Sound. I’m sure they will have an exhibit honoring her at the Bobby Orr Sports Hall of Fame by then

  7. For my two-bits worth, all I have to say, is congratulations to our Southern friends and neighbors. The better team won. On a positive note, hopefully, in the very near future we will all be playing for the same “winning team”.

  8. I like hockey better when the politics are kept out of it. There were a bunch of guys who put their heart and soul into something and it didn’t work out for them. My hat is off for some of the best players, and people, this country has.

    As for the TDS malcontents who want to make this about politics I have one piece of advice, if you want to do something good for Canada, go up north this spring and hug a polar bear.

    1. Agree! We are a hockey family. We were cheering for Canada cuz they are great players. They played well but the American goalie was fantastic!
      But we not part of the elbozos with TDS.
      Huge Austin Matthews! Good to see him so happy!
      And I sang along when they played the Star Spangle Banner!

  9. The American team did not allow (1) Power Play Goal the whole Olympics. We also had the best Goalie.
    Did Canada outplay us? Yes, if you count shots on goal, but when we had two in the penalty box and Canada had a 5 to 3 advantage for 1 minute and 33 seconds Canada blew the opportunity. That’s how the game went.

    Here’s what choked me up and it wasn’t winning the Gold medal.

    The best thing was the interview with Hughes, who had our winning goal.
    “I’m so proud to be an American.”
    “I’m so proud of American Hockey.”
    “I’m so proud of our team.”
    Here’s the thing, he could have said all those things whether we won or lost.

    After 1) The whiny American lesbian figure skater mouthing off who LOST; 2) The (2) skiers/snowboarders who dumped on America at a press conference and LOST and 3) the American Beverly Hills Half Pipe medalist who sold America out by competing for Communist China, those things will be forgotten soon enough.

    This game and our team will be the thing that will be remembered for a very long time.

    1. And to those who claim 3 v 3 isn’t real hockey …

      1. I am a massive soccer fan, and shoot-outs aren’t soccer either … but it is what it is … so you better train your whole team to become penalty shooters.
      2. Well, you could have won the game in the prescribed 3 periods of play
      3. Well for all your shots, you could have scored more than 1 goal in 3 periods.
      4. As an ex-rugby player, I used to HATE 7-a-side tournaments. Because it tested each individual players abilities much more than the full 15 player team. Each player had far more ground to cover, had to play offense and defense equally, needed better kicking skills, needed better speed, needed better fitness. In short – you had to be a much better all-around athlete and player. There’s nowhere to hide or rest on the pitch when there’s half a team playing. Yeah … 3 v 3 hockey is exactly the same. So I could argue that the better players won the game … esp. my boy Jack Hughes! – his NHL stats are most impressive

      1. 5. No one remembers (or cares) that the 2010 overtime Gold Medal game in which Sidney Crosby scored the game winner, was played with a 4-on-4 format. If Canada had won today no one would have cared about the format.

        2. All overtimes in every sport that don’t resemble the regular game are bullshit.
          End of story.

          If the Boo Jays had beat LA in game seven of the World Series by winning in extra innings where – for the first time ever – there were no outfielders to speed up the conclusion, people would go apeshit.

          The Olympics has become super-politicized, just ask the dead Israeli athletes from ’72.
          That’s why I like the snowboarders and jumpers, whom Kenji loathes, because they’re a community who don’t drag the liquid shit of politics into the equation and have a non-nation comradery.

      2. To me 3v3 has one huge positive that people don’t talk about enough.

        At least in 3v3 almost all of the goals are the shooter facing up on the goalie and beating them.

        I can’t stand when the teams battle like crazy in a playoff game for 60, 80 minutes then the game ends because a goalie gets a screened on a shot or it deflects in off a defenseman’s leg.

  11. Congrats to the US team on ending a 46 year drought. They played very good defense for 3 periods. Next Olympics maybe the refs will learn to count to 6. And maybe the Canadian team will learn to score in the first period and stop playing catch up hockey.

    It was difficult finding anybody to discuss actual hockey, most people online were just there to talk shit. I’ve had my fill of CBC broadcast of the Olympics. I know more about who’s a lesbian on the Women’s hockey team than any other statistic. And the commercials made sure I knew all aspiring hockey players are girls, with a generous sprinkling of diversity. Even toilet paper adds.

    1. The number of idiotic posts by Canadians after the game ended will likely surpass our population. It’s ridiculous, sad and hilarious at the same time.
      Like a 4 year old mid-tantrum.

  12. Let’s rub a little dirt in the wound:

    Had Canada won both of their gold medal matches by defeating the US, most people in the 50 States could give a flying F**K. And, a vast majority of people in the 50 states didn’t even register that the US was in the gold medal round.

    Hockey is more popular than soccer in the US. But, not by much.

      2. Football. You know, the game you play with your feet.

        Football club rules downs-based rugby, on the other hand, is way too long of a name for it to stick in common usage.

    2. Yep … that result would register in the US psyche’ as … someone did something to someone somewhere … meh. Doesn’t involve me.

  13. It wouldn’t be fair for this genocidal country filled with mass graves of tens of thousands of murdered native school children to win the gold.
    Cosmic justice and all that, right?
    How could any Canadian cheer in this time of our great national shame?

  15. Quite the rage induced stick break over the knee there, Bo. Not going to say it looked scripted but it looked scripted.
    Unless you think placing your hand over a suspiciously taped up segment on the middle of the stick to conceal the initial cut so as not to give his right twig a boo boo …you might be forgiven.
    I didn’t have my Tard Decoder ring on but what on earth was Mr.Shortbus yelling about after the goal?

  16. I don’t mean to disparage anyone here who drinks Labatts 50 but my god!! In my yoot that was the stuff we bought from bootleggers.

    1. My dad used to by a 24 that was half blue and half 50. I’m not sure but it may have inspired Max Websters Lager and Ale.

    1. Haha, at a frat house Arnie-fest (all his film that existed then played back to back in order of release) there was a trivia contest. The drunken answer to “what is best in life?” Involved “…and to hear the lamination of their women.” Sealed in plastic, no wonder they were screaming!

  19. FILTHY CANADIANS.
    That’s my country. Soooo happy AMERICA won!!!

    Doom and Gloom for Canada. WE DESERVE ALL OF THIS MISERY. WE ARE A MARXIST HELLHOLE.

    Way to go America!!!!!!

    1. NOOOOO!1! They’ll send him/her to toil in the rocket mines, then harvest their organs. or worse, they’ll come back a separatist!. Have them go to a nice hockey school instead..

  22. I was born and raised in upstate New York (way up, not the freaking Catskills). Played backyard hockey growing up Was a fan since the Original Six era. Boston Bruins always have been and always will be my team.

    I hate politics in sports. I typically watch the games with the sound muted because I can’t stand what passes for play-by-play announcing these days. I haven’t watch the Olympics in years and I despise professional athletes playing in them.

    Having said all that, I was rooting for Canada, simply because more of my favorite players were on Canada than on USA. With a top line of MacKinnon, McDavie, and Crosby, you couldn’t replace any of those three and have a better top line. The game was fantastic, especially the third period. Hellebyuck showed that he is arguably the best goalie in the NHL (despite Winnipeg apparently taking the year off).

    But hats off to USA for winning. Sullivan is vindicated as a coach. The Hughes Brothers had a fairy tale tournament (it’s a shame they couldn’t find room for Luke on the team). Charlie McAvoy demonstrated what a beast he can be. (If you find yourself between your goal and your goalie, climb into the net and block everything that comes near you.) It was a thrilling 3rd period and a tremendous effort by both teams.

    Screw politics. Jimmy Carter was wrong by boycotting the 1980 summer Olympics, thus politicizing what should be an apolitical celebration. Screw those who are politicizing the games today…both sides. Let’s celebrate the skill and determination of both teams.

    (Go, Bruins!!)

    1. So the Soviets having most of their athletes as officers in the Red Army wasn’t political? Actually the US Army also used to be a major Olympic medal winner.

  23. I don’t know any self respecting Canadian who’d hang that Dollar Store Canadian flag on their wall but everything about this video seems wrong.
    Heh…I said “self respecting” – As if.

  24. They are so desperate to bring Trump to heel they go so far as to attempt to live vicariously through a sporting event.

    I hope Trump invites them to the White House.

    Isn’t there a couple of Leafs players on team USA?

  25. I suppose governments who support national sports teams want something in return, like actors to play roles the governments would like them to play. Personally, I do not equate professional sport or high-level amateur sport with national politics or cultural memes, but this would be heresy around the offices of the corporations and government agencies who invested in the pageant. To me, it was a classic case of a superior team just frustrated time after time by a goaltender playing at the highest possible level. It reminded me of the time Bernie Parent pretty much won the Stanley Cup final (I think it was Buffalo Sabres who were victimized in that case) for the Flyers. But would that mean Buffalo fans or players should feel any shame? I wouldn’t think so, shame would only be appropriate if you showed up totally unprepared and unfit, or if you whined about everything as I heard some athletes doing when it had the audacity to snow in the Alps.

    Anyway, all these hockey players are buddies off the ice, later on they probably had a laugh about the ridiculous performance of Hellebuck, serves us right for opening our arenas to the guy and training him to be so good. Without him, the US definitely loses that game 3 or 4 to 1. But in the grand scheme of things it means very little, all the energy that is wasted on flag waving and nationalism in general has gotten millions and millions of people killed for nothing over many thousands of years. You look around this planet and wonder, what makes the human race so dysfunctional? If we all co-operated and stopped the organized hatred, everyone would have a better standard of living. There are no losers in that paradigm and yet people persist in puffing out their chests and screaming “my country is the greatest place on earth.” Everyone does it. I’m sure that in Paraguay they do it, in Chad they do it, in places we never knew existed, they did it. Until their nation disappeared because it was so damned dysfunctional.
