Families love Big Dick.

Kid tested; mother approved.

Dear USA,
Why you gotta wish for the Swedes to win now? I thought we were bros.
Canada

Because the sexy beast in my avatar.

<---------


Also lets be real, while Americans often do cheer for Canada in events they're not in the reverse is almost never the case...

 

[joelseph]

Team needed more Blackhawks if they wanted to win.

 

[Kak.efes]

We'll see you motherfuckers in four years. Good ass game Canada, you deserve every bit of that victory.

I don't think you will. This might be the last time NHL players participate. In a way, this game was for eternal braggin' rights, and we won.

 

[theignoramus]

Obama better give some malt liquor to prime minister Harper, or maybe some Pabst Blue Ribbon!

that deal was absurd anyway, why would Harper want American piss water? I'd say Obama stood to win the most out of that bet.

 

[belvedere]

The shots on goal were deceiving. The US had 31 and Canada had 37.

Got to see a few mins at lunch but couldn't hear anything. It looked like every "shot" we took missed the net by 6 feet or so.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Would Finland have had a chance with Rask in net?

Canada vs. Sweden will be low scoring. Canada has the better depth though.

And Toews totally neutralized Kessel.

I guarantee you will see NHL players in 2018. The ratings for USA Russia game shattered records for hockey. And it was on NBCSN and at 7:30 AM 4:30AM pacific. That shit never happens for Hockey in this country. And I'm sure today's game drew a lot as well.

Of course not, we're a nation of 30 million, we're an underdog when it comes to per capita.
And a reason why other countries will cheer for us too...

Seeing Norway at the top of the Medals with a pop of 5 million,
they're true underdogs and why people are happy seeing them there.

US has 300 million people... They got enough people to cheer for themselves...

We always hear this

PA gets what the PA wants

Love the avatars on Yahoo!'s scoreboard thingy.

 

[Holiday]

Canada is better

On the bright side, Bouwmeester mushroom-bruised the haters, and now Steen's nose has a shot at Olympic glory.

Two posts.

FUCK TEAM CROSBY

Graceful Canadian winning. Not as bad as Americans.

It's okay. Canada will win first loser and USA will win 2nd winner. Yes.

five, but i was trying to highlight only the saltiest of salt

The look of the eyeless is fear.

Bronze game is always about who wants it more.

Edit. Oh. it seems you meant the semifinal. Lehtonen was fine. Could have had that second goal mut he also made some great saves.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Eat shit Mighty Chin

I'm sorry why do I have to eat shit? My team won didn't it. At any point did I diss Price?

 

[Slurmer]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lol, if you think what I said was salty you should definitely come visit the NHL thread.

 

[Holiday]

That's pretty diluted salt. This thread has been about as salty as raw noodles, which is disappointing.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Congrats to our northern brothers and sisters. You were by far the better team on the ice today. I'll be pulling for you in the finals.

 

[Blader]

you guys sure are obsessed with that Mr. Awesome post. :lol

also, NHL will definitely show up for 2018. I think those threats of the league pulling out of the Olympics actually become less and less likely as time goes on.

 

[Simon Belmont]

Also lets be real, while Americans often do cheer for Canada in events they're not in the reverse is almost never the case...

That's not really true in my experience. Particularly in southwestern ON there are a lot of Canadians who love the shit out of the States. Particularly Detroit for reasons I'll never quite understand.

 

[Indrid Cold]

Good game. Got to watch most of it in chem lab lol When is the gold medal game? Sat night right?

 

[zroid]

Do they? lol, never knew this.

I do cheer for America a lot, but just not in the Olympics.

At least what I have read from finnish papers it seems that if NHL and IIHF can negotiate the deal about world cup (which would bring money to NHL and would be played in NA) then NHL would sent players also to olympics. Every two years high quality international hockey in both big ice and NHL sized rinks. Everyone would be happy. Fuck yes.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Cheer up USA. Bronze kinda looks like Gold.

 

[fallout]

Not seeing a lot of salt from USA fans, but I'm surprised we haven't seen more from the Canadian fans who have been shitting all over this team for the past couple months.

Those ratings make nothing for the NHL and only keep owners/GMs on the edge of their seats hoping that there aren't any injuries of consequence-which there have been during these Olympics. Personally, I love international hockey but totally understand why it might not make sense for the owners and businessman-side of things. I won't be surprised if the NHL declines to send players in 2018 but Im hoping for the best.

GG Canada; you guys dominated.

I'm sure if dem wasn't in his HR meeting he'd be here to tell us all how awful Canada looked and how much of a joke this squad is.

 

[Tragicomedy]

That makes perfect sense. Detroit is NORTH of Canada.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Salty tears from Americans AND Snow.

Love it.

 

[LevelNth]

that deal was absurd anyway, why would Harper want American piss water? I'd say Obama stood to win the most out of that bet.

The bet Harper made was for a case of Canadian beer, he explicitly stated it in his tweet.

First smart thing he's done since being in office.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Would be more salt if the game went to OT. A 1-0 nailbiter is a bit less suspenseful.

Also Hamhuis and St. Louis played 0:00 each.

 

[Heretic]

Lol, if you think what I said was salty you should definitely come visit the NHL thread.

Lol seriously!

Problem is he might be talking about Molson Canadian, and that would be truly awful

 

[3N16MA]

Great game. Both Price and Quick were stellar. Productivity in Canadian workplaces must have been low as hell.

 

[RC]

Great game. Both Price and Quick were stellar. Productivity in Canadian workplaces must have been low as hell.

We had a quiz in the computer lab during the last 5 minutes of the game. Not a single person even attempted the quiz till the game was over.

 

[RangersFan]

Do they? lol, never knew this.

I do cheer for America a lot, but just not in the Olympics.

They do, most of middle America see Canada as bros. Keep in mind that the Hockey loving contingent and those invested in the US Canada rivalry is such a microscopic % of our 350 + million population, we're talking about thousands of people on the internet compare to millions. Where as you have a whole 30 million + people who would love nothing more than beating their neighbors to the south.

It's true, I work at a TV Station,
and could hear the people yelling at plays... LOL

 

[The Internet]

It's just the way the American fans came off over round robin games and equating a nation's result over another nation an indicator of how good they are. Like when Canada "only" won 2-1 over Latvia and the Americans put 5 goals behind a stronger Czech team. That means Canada sucks, easy semi-final matchup.

Plus the whole T.J. Oshie is God thing after he had 6 penalty shots. I saw him once in todays game making a nice block, aside from that the forwards finally had to face a tough D-corps and didn't do anything.

 

[Bri]

That makes perfect sense. Detroit is NORTH of Canada.

This picture blew my mind. I had no idea Michigan was that far up.

Is it common that people from Detroit try to swim across the river and become Canadians? Windsor looks quite nice.

But it makes sense, maybe less for 2018 because of the timezone(I will probably be bad for you again.) but 2010 did so much for Hockey in the US. If the owners can subsidize a bunch of loosing teams in southern states, they can sure as hell survive a couple of injuries.

lol you can't take those "fans" seriously. those were obvious non NHL fans who only care about hockey every 4 years. you didn't notice any nhl-gaf americans posting shit like that did you?

 

[speculawyer]

Now I'm glad that EA didn't release NHL 14 for next gen consoles. With these 1 goal wins you Canadians don't deserve it.

 

[speculawyer]

This is the real reason why Detroit is failing. No one wants to live next to the Canadians.

 

[3N16MA]

We had a quiz in the computer lab during the last 5 minutes of the game. Not a single person even attempted the quiz till the game was over.

I was watching with a few people that took the day off well in advance. Prof should know better than to try to get a quiz in during the game.

 

[Simon Belmont]

The jealousy is unbearable.

 

[Jayhawk]

The win for Canada is nice, but the team and its fans are not satisfied yet. GOLD OR BUST.
