They have to live in Canada and care about one sport. Americans don’t care about this sport. Let them have this one.

We choked like we always do against Canada.
I’m just pissed off about it - not celebrating it.
A lot of Americans care about hockey.
And if you think Canada is a bad place to live, you’ve clearly never been there.
Fine - I read my scoring table wrong. Still had the lead and gave it up and then lost. Classic Mama Cass behavior. Only thing needed is the ham sandwich.
I just experienced a week of their normal weather. Let them have hockey. I’m sure Canada is wonderful and I was okay seeing them win. It’s okay to be 2nd sometimes.
No kidding - ever been to Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Michigan? It's basically the same thing, just south of the border (or, in my case, in the Detroit metro, north of the border - but that's an oddity of geography).
Yes - especially the way the team behaved on Canadian ice.
Well it was a fun thread for awhile. SCP about 6 weeks away. Best playoffs in sport cannot wait.
Manitoba and Saskatchewan are extensions of the Midwest. BC is the PNW. The Maritimes are New England.
Yeah, Quebecois suck, but they’re basically Canadian Texas
2nd period. 3rd period was 2-2 the whole time
By kicking the **** out of them? Those three fights were probably the best thing thats happened to hockey in years lol
I think if he is healthy his physical play around the net wins it. Canada was not a physical team
Hockey is growing in the US and with the downfall of NBA, I would guess this trend continues.
Here in Columbus, OH they need to build another 11 rinks to meet the demand of youth hockey(currently have 20 full size rinks). Outside of Iowa the sport is pretty popular.
While youth hockey participation in Canada shrinks, the US is seeing steady growth
While Canada has seen a steep decline in children playing hockey in the sport's birthplace, the United States has experienced steady growth in that department over the past decade.

I'd love to see hockey get to be a bigger deal in Iowa. 4 of our bordering states are pretty into it.
This tournament was top notch, which shouldn't be a surprise. And I ALWAYS tune in for USA v. Canada hockey games. Canada always seems to get the W, but they're almost always great games.
