GDT: All Encompassing 4 Nations Discussion.

I wasn't into this tournament at all. That changed with the Canadians booing the national anthem. If USA beats Canada tomorrow it will be glorious

Not to get too political, but if I was Canadian, I'd boo as well. He'll, I'm American and I'd probably have joined in.

 

[Reality Czech]

Has this Sweden Finland game even started yet? I'm trying to find a stream or any info and am coming up empty.

Of course it's not available on NHL.tv because they don't give a rats ass about us international based fans.

Edit: Now I see the game is tomorrow. That would explain it. I could have sworn it was today. This post never happened.

BULLSHIT

anyone booing ANYONE's national anthem is a complete and total tool
Full Stop

This is why Canadia needs to become our 51st state. Then they will appreciate our beautiful anthem. Governor Trudeau is delaying the inevitable.

You are American and you would boo the anthem because of what, who the President is? I know we can't get into politics here but wow

People let politics control too many emotions.

yeah, like getting upset at some booing

 

[Spektre]

yeah, like getting upset at some booing

Not sure if you are referring to me... It doesn't upset me that Canadians want to boo but it 100000000000% would make it more fun if USA beats them tomorrow lol

 

[joe galiba]

Well my grandfather died fighting for his country, so yes booing an anthem bothers me

Booing players? if that is your thing, go for it, I don't care, not my business

 

[Linkens Mastery]

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Booing another country's national anthem when they are guests in your country is embarrassing.

This type of shit happens when people are hiding behind identity banners. f*** politics.

A friend asked me the other day, Did you hear about (insert current event)?

LOL Nope! Checked out, don't care and happier for it.

 

[SirPaste]

Hockey!

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Hockey!

Guys skating really fast on knives while carrying weapons?

Yes!

 

[joe galiba]

did they ever update Theodore's status?

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

did they ever update Theodore's status?

Out week to week, probably ready just in time for game 1 of the playoffs.

of course
I guess Stone gets to play a full season now

 

[ChicagoBlues]

did they ever update Theodore's status?

Yes, he’s still The Beaver.

 

[StlBigFly]

lol he’s totally going to be ready for game 1 of the playoffs.

Has Vegas done it again?

Cap hit is really close to Schenn, Tuch, Rust….

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

did they ever update Theodore's status?

Friedman said he was in a cast. Expected to miss pretty much all of rest of regular season. I know everyone feels like Vegas plays cap games, but I’d be pretty frustrated if we were contender and one of our top players broke his arm/wrist in this event.

injuries are definitely a concern in any sport in events outside regular league activities
at least for his sake, it sounds like he won’t miss the playoffs

I can’t stand Vegas, but if they find a way to make lemonade with his cap space for a legit injury like this, I have zero problem with that.

The president continually belittles Canada calling it the 51st state. Would you be happy if another country's chief officer continually demeaned and belittled your nation?

It's not who he is but what he says about other nations. Of course, Canadians won't be happy with America right now.

Also, politics have real life consequences to people. When someone you love has their health and well being threatened by politics, yeah, there are real emotions. And that's all I'll say on that lest things get too heated.

Wait, do you mean like when the supreme leader of Iran constantly says death to America and death to Israel, I’m supposed to get all worked up???

lol

But the President of America called Canada a state??

Surely all of Canada should make a declaration of war at once!!!! Lol

People get offended so easily, it’s beyond ridiculous.

I have to believe it’s vocal extreme minority that scream about being offended all the time because nobody I know is that mentally unstable.

Yes. And I think if they played the Iranian anthem in a US sporting event, you wouldn't stand quietly.

 

[TheDizee]

I would not boo if the Iranian hockey team was playing. I respect all countries anthems. I am classier than Canadia fans showed.
