I prob shouldn’t be posting here since I’m a Bolt and Kraken fan. But my daughter lives in PC and has become a STH. And you guys got a prize 98 from the Lightning. Bottom line, I’m a hockey fan and hockey is gonna thrive in SLC mostly because of Smith and fans of hockey like you. I’m rooting for ya, big time.

USA v Canada was an ok contest after the first 9 seconds. Gooning it up for no reason isn't how you grow the game.

A fight should bring an automatic game misconduct. Chance to show case the game and idiots start fighting. Turned the game off soon as it started. Was in Costa Rica and to many it was going to be the first time wat hing hockey. One friend Barbaric and another took there kids out of the room. That's when the TV went off.Horrible way to try and grow the game.

I'm guessing most of you Folks wouldn't want to try to take a look at why the anthem was booed? That might be a good point to direct your anger.

Anger?

I’ve iced it up with Canadians from Yellowknife to Newfie for over 40 years. Love ‘em all, and the country has the same rural/urban schisms we do here in the excited states. In Amalie arena in 20+ years, I’ve heard yanks singing O’Canada as well as the guys from TO or Montreal mouthing the Star Spangled. We’ve been valued and trusted partners for two centuries. But, someone has mucked it up, and it ain’t Trudeau. That said, when the Maple Leaf and the Stars and Stripes meet in a few days, we should ALL be fans of HOCKEY.

Maybe you should ask Canadians who has mucked up their country for the last nine years. It ain't Trump! You can be fans of hockey and still boo, as the Montreal fans demonstrated.

You want to bet the next game will have better TV ratings than the first game.

That explains everything.

The ones I know are strong, resilient people. Admirable qualities regardless of geography. And damn good hockey players.

Should it be that way? I was wanting Olympic hockey not what we saw. Best of the best, grow our sport! If I did it again with how hockey is being played I probably would of not let my kids play. Would you?

GMs must love it when their players get injured during the "all star break."

Each to their own. Hockey is a tough sport and each player has a role to play.

Why I'm glad Keller stayed out.
