Meh I know I’m in the small minority here but I might have preferred a US win over having to listen to even more SN and other media garbage about McDavid McDavid McDavid.

Not sure it's been mentioned enough but a huge part of the goal is the little play that Marner makes to be able to corral that puck off the wall without turning to his backhand to pick it up.

Not having to turn to his backhand hand but using his stake to angle the puck to his forehand off the boards is such a little simple play that opens up the time and space and caused the U.S. dmen to panic.

This is whack and if you think like this you're not a serious Canadian hockey fan.

I think it is you and the guys who want to be the 51st state. You are gross for even saying it.

Yeah I’m shocked that the hard-core right wing conservative posters are the ones who are wishing the USA won this game.

On another note I watched yesterday’s PTI and PK Subban was the guest for their five good minutes segment. When talking about the teams who aren’t at this tournament wanna guess who the first nation he mentioned was? ####ing Denmark. Denmark!! lol. PK is cooked. What a dope.

He's the world's best hockey player and scored a key goal in a tournament winning game.

Get used to it.

SN and other media are going to gargle McDavid anyhow...


Might as well have a good reason for it, instead of the usual tepid tripe about him. Go, Canada!

Holy cow man calm down. Somehow I knew my comment would draw this nonsense.

It has nothing to do with politics. I see McDavid score and I see an overrated Oilers diver who floats around most of the time, and in OT prior to scoring give up on his man (almost costing us the game).

It's the die-hard Flames fan in me, nothing else.

Didn't think Marner received enough credit from the pundits, but I didn't see the entire post-game.

His Leafs teammate Matthews lost McDavid on the play.

Probably would have been better to keep that one in your head and not post. It was a stupid take.

Can't disagree - some things are better left unsaid.

That's because your original post was nonsense. Read the room you miserable dork.

Are you trying to flex that you're like a bigger flames fan than other people because you can't separate country from club? Because if so you're just looking like a ####ty Canadian.

Yep. But you can still dislike the Oilers and McDavid.
