What did I miss?
Canada defeated USA in the 4 Nations hockey competition. It was a good game that some apparently ascribed political relevance to. Seemed like just a hockey game to me.
Reminds me of US vs Soviet Russia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_on_Ice
The US switched sides, but the good guys win again.
Or the Blood in the Water match
I think the US team invited Trump. He didn't go, but he publicly cheered them on.
Canada won the 4 Nations Hockey tournament final vs USA 3-2 in overtime but there's a little extra context needed. They played each other earlier in the tournament in Canada and the Canadian fans booed the US national anthem. Once the puck dropped there were like 3 fights and USA won that game. Fast-forward to the final and Canada got the last laugh by winning the tournament in Boston over USA. Many dumb Americans added political pressure to that booing and win
I think you still haven't provided enough context:
They played each other earlier in the tournament in Canada and the Canadian fans booed the US national anthem
...due to America's leader denying Canada's sovereignty, and launching a tariff regime intended to cripple Canada's economy.
In this game the Americans booed Canada's national anthem, while in a sense retaliatory is also a doubling down and refusal to acknowledge the legitimacy of Canada's grievance.
Thanks for the added context. I didn't watch or follow much of this.
