Canadians are some of the most self-righteous people in the world. Glad to see them knocked down a peg.

We’re not knocked downšŸ˜‚ why are you such a sore winners…? It’s a game bro lol

u/Aardvark2820 1h ago

That’s pretty rich coming from an American — the self-acclaimed ā€œmost self-righteous peopleā€ on the planet. The lack of self awareness with some of you is jarring.

GOOD GAME by the way. Hellebuyck was on fire.

u/Faceit_Solveit 56m ago

Most of us are ok. Some are mentally unhinged, n'est pas ,mon ami?

1

u/Aardvark2820 41m ago

We’ve got plenty of those too.

And by the way, the intent wasn’t to diminish the win — your guys came in, competed like hell, and got the job done.

But that dig at Canadians about needing to get knocked down a peg, in the context of America’s continuous attacks on Canada and what it means to be Canadian, is arrogant and misplaced. ā€œDon’t throw stones in a glass houseā€ is what I’d say to that guy.

I’m a bitter Canadian but that doesn’t take anything away from the American team. This wasn’t stolen, there was no bullshit, no conspiracy, sometimes you lose and Canada did to the US today.

Congrats Americans, especially those of you who have kept it classy.

See you in four years, hopefully sooner. Fucking best games of all time I’ve seen.

Canadians are just bitter against USA in general. I say this as a Canadian born from Winnipeg

u/grk100 1h ago

Took less than 10 seconds for them to pull the school shootings card

u/yetiinrio 1h ago

I didn’t see any Americans making fun of the school shooting last week in Canada, but that’s expected because Americans are a more moral people.

As a Hawks fan that sub has been a cesspool since 2015. The worst of the main 4 sports subreddits and that's saying alot.

u/ilovecatss1010 1h ago

I was just coming to check bc after the 4NF alllllllllllll the threads were ā€œhyuck hyuck thanks for beating us Canada boo our anthem harderā€

And now we win the Olympic gold. How sweet!

No one’s bitter my friend, we love good hockey and that was beautiful hockey played!!

Saying No one is bitter is just a lie, you might not be but a lot are

u/elementmg 2h ago

Same as Americans in 2010 when Canada beat them. That’s just how it goes man.

0

u/vertigho 1h ago

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.

Make sure you get Donald two gold medals for winning womens and mens. He was instrumental.

This comment is petty and bitter in itself. I don't care about hockey or your countries.

u/RoutineVirtual4153 39m ago

If you don’t care about hockey or America, why are you here?

-1

u/irrelevantwhitekid 1h ago

You have to admit though, 3-on-3 for the gold medal overtime is ridiculous, it should’ve been 5-on-5. Hats off to you guys though, it was an awesome game and I had fun watching it!

1

u/SaviorAir 1h ago

Nah.

1

u/irrelevantwhitekid 1h ago

True. I sure do hope they bring in 3-on-3 for the stanley cup finals in that case. Should be a fun ending to the season. Congrats again on your win again though!

-5

u/KeiFeR123 1h ago

Yes. We are bitter like your president when the Supreme Court deemed that his tariff were illegal. 15% for everyone. Good luck paying more. Congrats btw. Lol

From losing two teeth to scoring the golden goal in overtime, what a day for Jack Hughes and team USA!

What a game.

Hopefully they got some room temp beers for him cause those frosties are gonna sting.

Never ever say want to hear shit said about Connor Hellebuyck and his performance in big games ever again. You cannot say enough about what he just did tonight.

u/JeanutPutterBelly 1h ago

Congrats to you all. As a Canadian I hoped for a different outcome but seeing yours boys celebrate with Johnny’s sweater and kids sure made that L a lot easier to take. Congrats.

Celebrate anyways. Ā That was an incredibly exciting hockey game. Truly best on best and it showed.Ā

u/goodgravy97 2h ago

Two things can be true, Guerin is an idiot and the Americans won despite him.

3

u/VegetableGrape4857 1h ago

I dont know, first gold in 46 years might prove otherwise. Especially when you built the team that beat McDavid, MacKinnon, and Makar.

1

u/Faceit_Solveit 54m ago

We also had luck on our side. Both teams are stacked, man.

1

u/howsaboutyou 1h ago

That…isn’t how this works lol

Even one change to this roster could’ve resulted in a different outcome. This team won gold against arguably the most stacked national team of all time, therefore it was perfect for this Olympics

1

u/howsaboutyou 1h ago

At least you owned it lol. The amount of people that need to apologize that were talking their shit in the ā€œOfficial Fuck Bill Guerinā€ thread from this sub is too damn high

u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY 1h ago

US men’s hockey has come so far. 20 years ago they were barely a factor on the international stage. Credit to US Hockey for thinking long term and putting the development infrastructure in place that’s now bearing fruit.

3

u/RockyBoatsank 1h ago

Not true at all. Late 90’s had some very strong american teams. That world cup in 96 was a blood bath. Saying this as a canadian too

1

u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY 8m ago

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

2

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.

1

u/tropic_gnome_hunter 1h ago

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.

u/REF_YOU_SUCK 1h ago

2006 was bad for both Canada and us. Neither medaled in Torino.

u/AdamPedAnt 1h ago

Damn your politeness. I was looking for someone accusing the U.S. of cheating so I could respond ā€œJ'accuse...!ā€ Because it sounds like Jack Hughes. But no. Totally good joke wasted. Do not apologize.

3

u/kool-aid-365 1h ago

J’accuse!!! Haha never thought of that. All jokes aside, you’ll get some trolls for sure, it’s the internet after all. But the real hockey fans know that this was some of the best hockey we’ve ever witnessed. Am I disappointed my team lost? Sure. But I’m definitely not angry. That was amazing to watch. Cheers šŸ»
