the word is "injured." in this case, per your quoted post, day-to-day.
I feel your vibe. I was watching the game with my teenage son and at some point in the third period I turned to him and said, "McDavid's having a bad game so far. That's a good thing for Canada."
He looked at me like I was nuts, and I followed up with, "He's due."
Felt pretty vindicated at the end of the game.
I think it's woefully naive to believe that Trump and the Republicans would annex Canada and then allow us to permanently tip the balance of power in Congress to the Democrats. Long established political norms would already be completely gone by that point.

Miller didn’t play poorly by any means for the US in this tournament. In fact he was good.
But I do think it’s funny that he went pointless, made a soft non-play on the wall that cost them the 2-1 lead, and then leaked that he got mad at the Tkachuks.
Even though he’s right to be mad bc they talked too much publicly. But still.. know when not to comment publicly given your reputation. It’s different if that was Crosby or something.

Separately,
So impressed by Slavin - Faber on the back end. Genuinely amazing from them. Thought Boldy was fantastic. Tkachuks, Eichel, Guentzel, Werenski, Matthews, Sanderson, Larkin. all good
Miller, McAvoy, Helly ok
Nelson, Jack Hughes, Trocheck, Fox, Hanifin, Connor.. oh boy.
Especially Hughes and Fox. Just awful.
And if you know Hughes is taking PP1, and you have Faber and McAvoy as your 1/2 on the right.. I wonder with how far Fox has fallen off in the past two years if.. yeah
They were the better team and I do think should have won.

I was definitely surprised by how few penalties there were in the tournament overall. Canada and USA in particular had some real power play weapons that didn’t get much opportunity to go to work.

After McAvoy got hurt, Slavin was far and away USA’s best defensemen, I felt.
This is how reffing has always worked though. If the PPs are too good, the calls go down. Don’t want to ‘decide’ the outcome.
It was the guys that can play with pace that just reinforced their status
Slavin is one of the best player in the game with how he plays. Faber and sanderson are right there as newcomers.
It is always cool to watch guys that dont get the spotlight just continually excel and simply play a fantastic all around game
Google "Puerto Rico" and disabuse yourself of this notion.
To be fair it likely won't be the same scenario. But this is still at BEST a monumentally disrespectful joke, and at worst a real threat to our country's sovereignty.
It makes my blood boil.

So maybe now you (who always likes to spout about how proud you are of being Chinese) understand how us Taiwanese feel
I was always proud to be Chinese, always will be, nothing will diminish that until I draw my last breath.

So you feel it's an unjust scenario when you're the victim but not when you're the bully, got it. Hypocrisy at its finest
I said I'm proud to be Chinese by lineage, never have I ever said I'm unanimously and unconditionally supporting what my government.

I will always endorse those who want to come to Canada because they hate their government and I endorse how they feel, but it’s important we do think of ourselves as Canadians first. Beyond that I don’t really understand or care.
But never direct that hate to our own.

And on that note, I’ll shut this down. The narrow intersection of hockey and politics concluded with this event for the time being. A reminder that no political discussion is permitted anywhere else.
