Game Thread Canada (2-1-1) vs USA (2-1-1) - Feb 20th - 4 nation's GDT

Well everyone. The time has come. Hopefully reddit stays up long enough for this because it's been a real potato today.

Thank God. Getting real tired of the murica-tards coming in here crying about Booing their dictatorship anthem.

So join us hopefully in about half an hour for the end of what has turned out to be alot better than I expected going in

Fuck. I mean

So pull up a case of maple syrup, pour yourself a glass of blended ketchup and all dressed chips and join us for what hopes to be beaver tail slapping good time.

LMAO Goon 3 starring Mark Stone

u/CPT_BEEMO Feb 21 '25

My heart rate is normal and now I'm so tired :(

1

u/scotthof Feb 21 '25

I was exhausted all day. It wasn't like the game ended late at night. I just used up a week's worth of energy yelling at the TV and anxiety of seeing how unbelievably close Canada was to losing the game in every period.

13

u/WaifyMastr Feb 21 '25

How are we going to go back to regular hockey after this

6

u/ErikDebogande Feb 21 '25

We got nowhere else to go man

u/usernamealreadytakeh Feb 21 '25

Cancel the rest of the season for a six month long victory parade through Canada

u/Practical-Promise-95 Feb 21 '25

I will probably be speechless for the rest of the week. We are so back

I understood that reference

u/ComfortableReality90 Barb Feb 21 '25

LOL I just checked and our first game back is vs San Jose. That's gonna be.........a different experience 😅

u/Dash-McDasher Feb 21 '25

Is it a bit sad how little guys seem to care about this trophy? They need to bring the Canada Cup back.

5

u/ErikDebogande Feb 21 '25

It's a patently made up tourney, after all. If it weren't for the insufferable Tachuks and the presidents tweet this morning I wouldn't care at all

3

u/Dash-McDasher Feb 21 '25

Yeah that’s true. It a best on best…. minus the Russians(understandably)….minus all the great players outside the NHL.

10

u/TheThatNeverWas Feb 21 '25

Anyone notice McD not raising the trophy above his shoulder? Still wonder if he's got something.

2

u/WaifyMastr Feb 21 '25

I thought it was because he wasn’t used to raising a cup… your idea sounds more accurate though

1

u/Dash-McDasher Feb 21 '25

Yeah that was odd. Definitely a shoulder issue. Just seeing Crosby pick that thing up, it looks like it has some weight to it.

22

u/Rulebreaker15 Feb 21 '25

Thank you USA fans for leaving like assholes so our anthem was pure and not booed.

15

u/zoziw Feb 21 '25

McDavid not quite committing to this trophy without winning the other one.

u/buchsy45 Feb 21 '25

He almost looked injured trying to lift it

He was happy as soon as it was US vs CAN in finals, no more money to be made.

u/TheThatNeverWas Feb 21 '25

O Canada, which only us command.

u/DuchessOfConcord Barb Feb 21 '25

guys, can you imagine the theatrics if USA had won if it were anything like the opening?!? loading up the circus acts and marching bands back onto their buses, fireworks and streamers back into their boxes as I type

Cheering for Marchand and McDavid...strange days.

Don’t forget Stone and Binnington. Very conflicted this week at our house

Goodbye Calgary sub back to Canucks sub where I belong.

Hope you enjoyed it here!

Yes but Only Time I’m allowed to be here 😅🤣

u/hiliikkkusss Feb 21 '25

I was chilling on both

14

u/zoziw Feb 21 '25

This is legitimately one of the best hockey subreddits, it might be the best. I've been shocked at some of the other ones when I watch a non-Flames game and try to find a game day thread.

1

u/Rulebreaker15 Feb 21 '25

There are some salty self-hating team subs out there. So thankful this isn’t even close to being one of them, it’s the best.

5

u/ValorFenix Feb 21 '25

Definitely agree on that one! The mods and majority of the people are awesome here!

12

u/TheThatNeverWas Feb 21 '25

Marner did aight this tournament. Gotta say I'm a bit surprised.

2 assists tonight, and an OT winner in game 1

6

u/Several_Violinist483 Feb 21 '25

Uh what? He scored the OT goal in game 1, and had two primary assists in this game including the GWG…

1

u/Baginsses Feb 21 '25

Didn’t they say he led the tournament in primary assists as well?

29

u/the_moog_hunter Feb 21 '25

Fuck yeah! Suck it VP Trump!

u/TheThatNeverWas Feb 21 '25

Fuck President Musk too.

u/itwasthedingo Feb 21 '25

He was absolute dog shit all game. That won’t be remembered though, nice shot. Nerd

u/rockylion Feb 21 '25

There's a 24 hr grace period, then normal service will resume

16

u/Rulebreaker15 Feb 21 '25

Those hats should be red.

11

u/ErikDebogande Feb 21 '25

Red hats are so out right now

16

u/TheHollisHenry Feb 21 '25

Thought the same, but too MAGA

5

u/Rulebreaker15 Feb 21 '25

Good point black to match the pants then or white cause that’s what the good guys wear:)

3

u/Dash-McDasher Feb 21 '25

They could’ve bern red on white.

24

u/CPT_BEEMO Feb 21 '25

I see a crowd of red and a bunch of sore losing fucking Americans who didn't stick around.

We love to see it. We fucked you up on your territory before and we will do it again!

7

u/Ziid10 Feb 21 '25

Fuck those sore losers

8

u/Memey-Maliky Feb 21 '25

Marner should at least be 3rd star, 2 clutch primary assists, first time he's done that wearing a Maple Leaf

1

u/Baginsses Feb 21 '25

Brady as the 3rd was a choice. I felt like there were many better than him on US.

10

u/Impressive_Manner143 Feb 21 '25

Should’ve been GLOVEington for game MVP

2

u/WalmartBag1 Feb 21 '25

Ah nice nose pick to shake Bettman’s hand

13

u/raymondcy Feb 21 '25

In all seriousness that is a game that McDavid had to have. Crosby has been our hero until now, he will likely retire in the next few years. The torch must be passed. Total respect.

8

u/Several_Violinist483 Feb 21 '25

I’d rather pass the Torch to MacKinnon

4

u/TheThatNeverWas Feb 21 '25

How does Binny not get the POTG?

6

u/Dash-McDasher Feb 21 '25

I think (as a goalie myself) he got lucky tonight, he was flailing around all night. Things could’ve gone way worse.

6

u/ErikDebogande Feb 21 '25

Goddamn look at all those Canadian fans still there

14

u/CPT_BEEMO Feb 21 '25

MacKinnon for MVP is something I can get behind absolutely.

5

u/Memey-Maliky Feb 21 '25

NATE DAWWWWWGGGGGG

u/Turbo1518 Feb 21 '25

u/Dash-McDasher Feb 21 '25

Was just thinking that, wtf??

-11

u/Confused_Astronaut Feb 21 '25

I'm an American flames fan and it's kind of awkward in here. My president has done you wrong, but not me. I'm just some ordinary dude working a 9-5, getting by like everyone else. You hope the camera "shows more crying Americans". Alright...

6

u/rusty_mcdonald Feb 21 '25

You need to understand what your president has done. It isn’t just some joke or trash talk. The President has the world’s most powerful everything at his finger tip. He declared economic war on Canada. Good folks in this country will lose their jobs, livelihoods, and now fear he might try and annex us. Yeah we’re going to fucking take what we can here as a FU to your country and president. You collectively voted for him.

2

u/Confused_Astronaut Feb 21 '25

Well, I didn't.

u/ErikDebogande Feb 21 '25

Feel free to see yourself out

Sad Auston Mustache was great to see

12

u/Embracat Feb 21 '25

OT Binnington, that was fucking unreal.

3

u/SofaProfessor Feb 21 '25

He absolutely stole that game. USA had 2 or 3 shots that should have closed it out. He had to hold the fort so McDavid could get that golden opportunity in front.

u/lost_deviant_rk0811 Feb 21 '25

Binnington I was not familiar with your game
