Olympics: Team Canada 2026

[ORRFForever]

Looks like essentially the same team they sent for 4 nations, Canada seemed to be alright.

Robertson and Thompson are HUGE adds - in more way than one. It's concerning.

I think that team wins the Olympics in 2026.

Neither one of them are what I would describe as physically imposing. They are big, they aren't physical.

...if THIS doesn't light a FIRE under Canada's arse, the I don't know what will...

I know I'm a bit late on this but what really pisses me off is how amped the American team was getting a call from him after he just finished tweeting about annexing Canada.

A lot of the US players live in Canada, have tons of Canadian friends and teammates etc. Do these morons not know what that would mean? What a Canada-US war would look like? That the NHL would cease to exist and they would be out of jobs?

I mean, Canada has 7 of the NHL teams and comprise like 55% of the league. The NHL couldn't just carry on if a war was raging between Canada and USA.

Trump being a POS is one thing, ordinary Americans finding this all so amusing, death and destruction to our people, that pisses me the **** off.

I do not want to get bogged down in this in a hockey forum but there is a clear disconnect going on. It was quite surprising to see that many people thought that the American anthem getting booed in Montreal was hockey related at all. It's comfortable to be the aggressor and choose to be oblivious I guess. As Dryden, generally a blowhard, wrote in The Atlantic the four nationals final meant more in Canada than many outside of Canada realized. World leaders casually and publicly musing about annexing a neighbour, in particular one who has been a positive to them, is a jarring and unacceptable thing. And that is without getting into the mutually detrimental tariffs that are based on nothing but lunacy.

I hope that the Canadian team in 2026 can harness the bullshit as motivation. That the American players, at least the public ones and some of whom have families that are half comprised of Canadians, don't seem to get it is immaterial. Even during the 1972 Summit Series USSR was not talking about annexing Canada and taking direct and harmful actions against the country, but that is USA in 2025.

Now watch as we get a Finland - Czech snoozefest in the gold medal game.
