Dude this is so wrong. I am old enough to remember the climate around Sid the kid before the Olympics and after. Alot of fans hated him to at the time said nearly the exact same things. He's weak, a diver and whiner he is Sidney crybaby. But I tell ya man . I was at the Vacouver Olympics. No one gave 2 shots that he popped that golden goal in . No one cared after words that he was a whiner etc and all the coverage he got after the Olympics. He was Canadian and wore that jersey with Canadian pride to win it all.
I'm no Mcdavid lover but he went to war ( figuratively) for his country and became a national hero. During the rest of the year his enemy # 1. I cheer for the jersey not the name. I also hate Marchand ,Wilson l, Hyman ,Doughty etc but If they suit up in the red maple leaf Their Canadian above all else. My tibialisim for individual civic states go out the door and is replaced with nationlist pride for Canada.
If war did break out I'd still wanna protect Edmonton (as much as I loathe that city ). But that's still a peice of Canada 🇨🇦 . I'd protect a peice of Canada over any dictator led USA town any day of the week.
