WTG Canada - to those who think Canadians are arrogant, I thought I may as well have some fun! Which is the Freebird? Maybe tone down the arrogance yourselves. Most fans here were fair but some were just over the top obnoxious.

Well this isn’t in good faith. It was a great game. I felt the US team was the better team in the 3rd period and overtime. It’s hockey, one bad bounce or missed coverage and the puck bounces the other way. I’m not a fan of the friction in here this week.

When have you ever known Brad to bite his tongue?

Truth he doesn’t bite his tongue but in this situation he should consider it. He wasn’t a factor in this tournament, his age showed, he was consistently behind the play and fighting the puck. Matthew and Brady were factors in each and every game. The Canadians won, with some luck. They were outplayed in this game by a fair margin. Hockey is a game of bounces, Marchand should know that. Take the high road. He’s very immature for a veteran.

Definitely that over the all star break. I was glued to every game and heard and saw people not into hockey previously talking who it it

Team USA was really impressive. Those two teams totally healthy go at it best of 7 and Canada loses at least half of the simulations

She was awful, and I blame the event planners for that. You don't put two versions of anthems out there that are so completely opposite. At least give the Canadians a chance to match a top opera singer backed up by one of the most famous orchestras in the world.

I thought it was symbolique and consequent with how some of our neighbours see Canada.
I loved it.

She changed the lyrics for politics,and the whole thing was cringe,I heard some booing,it might have been Canadian fans booing her butchering our Anthem,not US fans .Lol

No it was not Canadians booing, you know better. The Canadian fans drowned out the booing by signing it for her, she was not very good but she was no Roseann Barr. Honestly get rid of the anthems all together, if no politics in sports is what everyone wants then just drop the puck.

Not the last game, other than taking a spot from a healthy player. Marchand and Stone could have been replaced by any two of Mark Scheifele, Wyatt Johnson, Zach Hyman, Jordan Kyrou, Gabriel Vilardi or John Tavares.

I would say the 1st period was mostly Canada's period. If not for Helly it could have been 2-0 easily. Alas it was 1-1, thats hockey and the rest of the game could have gone either way. It was great hockey regardless of who won and who played. So much better than the All Star gimic weekend.

PS- After the display of excellent hockey we are discsussing singing over skating, passing and hitting. What next the popcorn did not have enough butter or the Beer was not cold enough, ugggh.

WTF are you talking about?? I was talking about the butchering of our nation anthem

The french Canadian players for the Bruins had nothing to do with the singing of our national anthem on Thursday night

..get a grip

You are missing out as Quebec is beautiful! Quebec City is gorgeous.

I have been through there a few times. We were camping and even made it out to Perce Rock.

Marchand was brought in for leadership and experience. He played 4th line minutes and did his job. Its a team game. Not every player needs to be a superstar. You need leadership and experience too
