A hockey game may seem like a small thing, but this was very meaningful for us. Well done to Team Canada - you did us all proud.
This American was rooting for you, too.
4th territory.
We will bring murica Healthcare and schools that don't get shot up!
Damn it. I lost the game.
How dare you, me too.
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.
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.
Curling?
No, that's us Brits'!
You can't take our last sport we're reliably competitive in from us!
You beat our injured team. Congrats.
2023:

2 Finlande 4 080
3 Russie 4 050
4 États-Unis 3 940
Sore loser?
What?
Honestly, it doesn't bother me that Canada won. More power to you. I just don't like McDavid winning. At least he still doesn't have a cup.
No mercy.
