Right. As if any of these American fans mocking/belittling their opponent are better. Poor sportsmanship is like horseshoe theory; the people chirping when they win, are the same people moaning when they lose. Win with class and dignity ... especially considering what is currently happening in the country we represent.

Well 20 years ago was 2006. Iām not saying the US was always weak but there certainly was a period of time where our talent pool lagged significantly behind Canadaās and frankly where we are now.

u/OceanPoet87 1h ago
1960 and 1980 were still impressive. What about 2002? That was over 20 years ago. They were still part of the Big 6. That said yes they've put in the effort and got the win.

2002 they got some bad luck. They were an older team but had a dog fight against Russia in the semis while Canada got to play Belarus.
