They win for American cities though. Are most Canadians cool with their cities not winning just because Canadian players are winning elsewhere?

Obviously not. But it makes no sense for him to compare the Olympics to the NHL. There are 7 Canadian teams versus 23 American teams. With the spread of talent across the league, an American team probably has the better odds to win every year.

Edit- He was just kidding lol

I only want to see Montreal win, couldn't care any less about any other Canadian city winning and sure as shit don't want to see Toronto win.

HE WAS SITTIN' THERE, READIN' AN AMERICAN MAGAZINE. YOU'RE S'POST'A BE READIN' A CANADIAN PUBLICATION, EH. AIN'T HE GOT NEXT ISSUE ON HIS IPAD OR SOMETHIN'? ANYHOW, JAMIE BENN WALKED IN, INSTALLED A DOOR ON HIS STALL, THEN LEFT THE DOOR OPEN, AN' TOOK A REAL BIG DUMP. HE MOLDED IT TO LOOK LIKE A CANADIAN BEAVER, AN' SANG THE ANTHEM. I AIN'T GONNA LIE TO YOU FOLKS: I STARTED TEARIN' UP AN' JOINED HIM SINGIN'. PATTY KANE GOT SO EMBARRASSED, HE FORGOT TO WIPE AN' THE AMERICANS LOST THE GAME. JAMIE, YOU KNOW, REMINDED ME OF BOBBY ORR. GOD LOVE 'EM.

It was funny seeing some Americans yesterday saying that the comeback win makes up for Boston beating Toronto last season.

Hell nah, both comebacks were a win for most Canadians :D

The NHL has been dominated by Canadian and European players for so long now that the teams aren't seen as "Canadian" or "American" by a lot of people unless you actually live in one of those places, and then it's less about being "Canadian" and more about metropolitan bombast. And then there's the regional rivalries like the Leafs/Habs thing, which is more about my dad's generation than mine, but still bleeds over into ours because HOLY SHIT DO THE LEAFS EVER SUCK.

I'm originally from Saskatchewan, I couldn't give a single shit about the Canucks, ESPECIALLY after the Stanley Cup Riot. That doesn't change the facts that the Leafs are empirically worse.

I used to be a Senators fan, actually. Couldn't win worth a damn, but they were always great to watch because they tried so damn hard. Not so much anymore, though.

ya don't follow hockey eh

you should turn that empirical analysis toward 13 vs 0 and the current state of the canucks and sens vs leafs

leafs don't suck, they're alright
 
Leafs > Canucks right now. It's true

Though right now Most teams > Canucks

A recreational beer league team that only plays on the weekends > Canucks
A group of six year old's learning how to skate for the first time > Canucks
A random assortment of stray dogs and cats that were thrown on the ice > Canucks

Lol what is the timeline for all the injured players? At least please make the Coyotes miss the playoffs...
 
So i just heard that the referees in the final between Canada and Sweden will be from... Canada.

How is that not the most retarded thing ever? I mean... seriously? That shit would never fly in the World Cup.
 
Preferably not the Stars.

I don't like em either but they seem like the only other team with the Wild/Phoenix/Vancouver battling for the wildcard spots. Maybe Winnipeg I guess. I'm expecting Nashville to go on a tear once the season starts again.

I know right? They should get some Finns and some Americans. Guaranteed impartiality.

Another bitter Saskie.
 
Any pacific coasters planning to watch the gold metal game live? 4am is brutal. Worst possible time.

So are you going to stay up or wake up early?

It's fucking ridiculous that's what it is.
 
What time is this game Japan Standard Time?
Shit is so crazy now that I'm 17 hours ahead of PST.
If you mean the Bronze game today.
7 am + 17 = midnight



4 am PST for the gold so 9 PM .

I would say you have it way better than the US. I will be sleeping for both games.

Yea, because the World Cup is known for its internal purity and has never had a controversial moment of judgement. Right.

That being said, it is definitely BS. Not sure how that happens in a gold medal Olympic game.
 
7 AM EST ?...god,ok well not so bad since it's on a Sunday,I just need to set the alarm clock right now to not forget that there is a hockey game at that time lol...
