I would have thought the greatest hockey nation wouldn't produce fans who blatantly don't know puck, and yet here you are calling the result of a game luck when it came down to executing fundamentals. I would also have thought the greatest hockey nation would have been able to play better defense, considering defense wins championships (including this one), or get through a 5 on 3 power play with anything to show for it. Also, tiktok, really? Put down your Molson and go outside

"It was luck that caused team Canada to spend an entire 5 on 3 PP with their thumbs up their asses. It was luck that team USA was better at goaltending and defense. Also, I think you'll find that the habs won the most Stanley Cups by the way, and also? I am NOT mad. Please put in the record that I didn't get mad."

Yo, keep up the wining! At this pace ( 1 gold medal every 46 years), and considering the fact that Canada wont ever win gold again, the USA will surpass Canada in 276 years! Can't wait to see what Barron Trump jr jr will serve to your players and their 12 years old spouses.

Can't wait for tonight's game! The whole Bell Center booing pedo-facsist, lucky ass, bully USA gives me chills every time. It's against Washington, the team who's best player is from Toronto and captain from Russia. But to be fair, they do have a few american players that really love ICE.

BTW, have you seen your popular-vote-winner (real win, fair and square) child-rapist president started another war today? With the help of genocide-loving Israel. Just days after serving cold mcdonalds to your racist-sexist extremly-lucky hockey team. Too bad you won't have any other election again, your people would have voted for him again.

I'm getting a little lost here, what does any of that have to do with team Canada's preventable shortcomings?

Sure, let me help you.

This as to do with americans thinking they are better than everyone else at everything, not being able to stfu about it, while being the biggest threat ever to very survival of human species. Example: winning a single game of hockey, against a country 15% of their population that have always dominated them, and deducing they are therefor the best hockey nation ever and it's ok the disrespect the other nation and threaten annexation. Think what you want of pedo-trump, he is the most american thing ever. The sum of decades of under-education and human exploitation. Hope that helps.

So this makes team USA's win lucky, instead of the product of better defense and Canada choking on power play?

Luck is when you win a single game, knowing that in 4 of 7 or even a 2 of 3, your team would be crushed. Your goalie can't always save you team by overperforming.

Arrogance is when your country is filled with low-iq pedo-nazis and you go around telling the world how great it is.

Is the fact that we are better at hockey than you the reason your country want to invade mine? Or is it because you want to make gun violence the leading cause of death for children here too?

Anyway, for the third time, CONGRATULATION for winning a single hockey game. Please remind me that Canada didn't score on the powerplay and keep master-trolling, just like your president who shit on all of you losers with his crown. And keep looking, I'm sure you can find at least one or two persons outside the US that will agree your team deserved the win.

Why don't you just contain yourself to responding to the actual topic here instead of also addressing the voices in your head?

Confirmed that you don't know puck

There you go:

Congratulation for wining a single hockey game. Congratulation for wining a single hockey game. Congratulation for wining a single hockey game. Congratulation for wining a single hockey game.

Americans are the best at hockey in the entire universe. Everyone saw it. You president has the biggest dick a human ever had, you should go suck it. Please invite our hockey players to eat fast food with pedophiles. And fuck those stupid disgusting women. Canada sucks, please invade us so can reduce our life expectancy by a couple of years, become racist, and vote for nazi-pedophile. Please don't address anything else other than "we won one hockey game", let's make meme about it while our president fucks children. And keep acting EXACTLY like him.

I don't want congratulations (I didn't really read anything after the first couple lines of that), I want to understand why you think luck is the reason the win happened. If you go back and look at the 5-3 power play Canada got, there is a consistent pattern of failure to execute. That's not luck. The US played better defense and the goaltending was superior. An instance of superior performance is about as far from luck as it gets.

The only context that exists in this discussion is that hockey game. Nothing else, at all. Why do you think the course of that one game was luck? It wasn't.

Yeah, let's bring this back to Olympic hockey.

What is it about exactly?

It's about defending your country's values.

For Canada, it's Freedom, Equality, Diversity.

For the US it's: Freedom - to rape kids, start wars for Israel, bully everyone, and eat fast food (boys only, sorry stupid girls)

Equality - 99% of your population is poor and stupid, while only 1% is rich and stupid.

Diversity - You have all sorts of white men, nazis, fascists, kkk, misogynists, average undereducated racists, etc.

But what do I know, I'm just your average University teacher who didn't even had to pay for is PHD in sound spatiliazation, speaks 3 language, and who's work has been presented around the world. Meanwhile, you're a uni-lingual white AMERICAN!

Please remind me about that 5 on 3 powerplay and ignore everything else. And CONGRATULATION for winning a single hockey game. Indeed it was the only game in the history of hockey that ever mattered.

What is [Olympic hockey] about exactly? It's about defending your country's values. For Canada, it's Freedom, Equality, Diversity.

Maybe it should have been about keeping the puck out of their net. It's beyond me why you keep trying to drag the conversation back to your soapboxing about shit that is not in any way related to your contention that Canada lost due to luck. That's the only discussion that's actually going to happen, anything outside of that will just be you shrieking into the void.

So what's supportable about "luck" being the reason Canada choked on their power play and repeatedly allowed more goals on fewer shots?
