1 Nazi at the table = a table full of Nazis.


Once again Canada has introduced them to the curb as we have and always will do. This has always been political and if you find yourself on the wrong side of it well...


You not like us.

Someone tell Trump that the Tkachuks are anchor babies.

Sam Bennett with a fantastic game. Dominant almost every shift.

Man I wish we still had him on the Flames.

We had Bennett, Tkachuk and Gaudreau together for 5 years and never played them together once.

I'll admit, there was a lot more intensity than I was anticipating.

Of course it had to be McDavid during the most politically charged hockey game since the Summit Series.

Hockey media is going to be insufferable x100 now.

The vile hatred for players on team USA and even Gretzky now is disturbing. Try reading up on the definition of fascist and you might not want to use the term so loosely to label others.

Get lost loser, Gretzky is a traitor to Canada plus he is an ex Oiler.

And yes, your orange president is a fascist dictator. Look up both definitions in the dictionary. The truth shall set you free.

Trump will claim it was an illegitimate tournament without the Russians. The Russians should have been invited.

[Locke]

They could have at least taken the 'Dick's Sporting Goods' tag off of the trophy!

Oh man. Wait for the ‘passing of the torch’ narrative. All of the ingredients you need are right there.

2010 international winner was Crosby in OT

2025 - Crosby shows them how to win in game 1
McD then gets the OT winner in the final , just like Crosby in 2010

Crosby passes to Marner to win game 1. Marner passes to 97 to win the final

Somebody will put that spin together

Except Crosby was in the Olympics and...what was the name of this Mickey Mouse Bargain Bin McTournament again? The Fantastic Four or something?

Haha. Yeah, I hear you.. but really does the whole cannon fodder portion of the exercise (adding 4 additional duds) legitimize it?

Best on best . Can’t take that away

Most importantly, we win

"Starz of Ice!" Thats what it was!

[dino7c]

It was the fastest and highest skilled hockey ever played...more physical that any recent international tournament too. Also it was the first one in 9 years thus was more meaningful since the Americans thought they had passed Canada. Nope

Who is our Hockey bitch? Oh yes...its America.

I thought the anthem sounded different. This was a nice little touch IMO.

Rogers and Sportsnet will have to have a talk with him about his messaging and branding.
Rogers from the Sportsnrt Central to the panel to Cuthbert and Simpson, has continually awkwardly forced the comparison to the Olympics (using "best on best") to overhype this thing for months leading up and now as much as possible the last 8 days. It simply doesn't compare no matter how much they want to wrap the flag around everyone.

It's not the Olympics, but considering the political climate and the fact that the championship game was against the country threatening to annex you and the game being in that country, I am not so sure it wasn't just as important.
