I was ticked off (not only at butchering Canada's national anthem and changing the lyrics) but starting it out in french
I thought Britain conquered Canada in 1763 after France surrendered
All in good fun, I too find a good chunk of those guys on USA hard to root for, country aside.

Just heard that there were 16 million viewers in both countries combined. That is more than any NHL game in over 30 years.I am just happy for the game of hockey. All of it was an unexpected surprise and it was fun to watch. I want more of this in the future!
I’m rusty on my British/Canadian/French history but I’m guessing starting in French was done purposely as well. It bombed but it was obviously well thought out. I’m glad it hasn’t taken anything away from the game that was played. Consider it a minor blip.

Would not use word free with taxes up the ass hereOk....historic game, Canada won the first ever Four Nations Cup, pretty big deal with the popularity and how fans embraced it. We all know WAY more that that was on the line. Canada, the True North, Strong and Free.
.But they did win so congrats to them .
It's always sung in French and English here. We're an officially bilingual country.

It was butchered though he is right about that part.
It was great hockey to watch .NHL will be boring now after that.
Not the first guy I would pick to lecture someone on how to handle trash talking.

Canada and USA NHL teams are going to be banged up and trying to find the vibe again with the grind of March
Something that is going weirdly overlooked, likely lost in all the other narriatives;
Mike Sullivan willingly scratched Kyle Connor, one of the league's best and most consistent goal scorers for a Chris Kreider who has been hot trash for most of this season and a Matt Tkachuk who could barely move.
And this is the guy some people want to bring to Boston? Hard f***ing pass.

I would.
Brad is many things, and I understand if others don't like them.
To me, whatever else, hs is an honest person.
He's a dirty player, or was, much more so than today. Gordie used to say that when you use your elbows, you get time and space.
Marchand was a fourth liner in his rookie year of 2011 and worked his way up to playing with Patrice Bergeron.
I believe you know the rest.
He never said he wasn't dirty.
In my mind, Marchand never backed down from a fight or avoided accountability after starting a fire.
And he started plenty.
Maybe that isn't true. But that's how I have always seen it.
He is not Ulf Samuelson. He is not Claude Lemiux.
To each their own, but I love Brad and I'm glad, even proud, that he is a Boston Bruin,

What you need is a room full of guys who are willing to do anything. We had it in 2011. I think we have it again in 2018.

I can't speak to that, but Mike Sullivan's time in Boston is in the past. And it should stay there.
Yes, he had Crosby, one of the greatest players to ever play the game; Malkin, Letang, Fleury, and all the rest, but he was behind the bench for three Stanley Cups.
One more than Joe Sacco or Jay Leach will ever sniff.
I don't want him back, but I'd take him over those two any day of the week.
Would you?

I guess so. Seems whenever I hear it, at official ceremonies and whatnot, the first few lines are usually sung in French.

Ya know you can just acknowledge a point and not have to contradict
