Classy as always America.
Everyone is in even rougher shape now.Pot ended up at $17,492,490. And we're in a recession in Alberta. Unbelievable.
I just feel like this makes them feel more human to me and I enjoy that. It’s like a real rivalry between players and teams, rather than a bunch of drones playing each other.

Good thing you’ll never have to find out.I imagine this is the feeling I'd have watching the Leafs win the cup.
I wish TSN would stop pushing the narrative that this team had a chance to go down in history as possibly the greatest Canadian team ever. It was ridiculous before the game and it sounds even dumber now that they’ve lost. Because of COVID, this was the most watered down tournament we’ve seen in a long time, maybe ever. Most teams were missing top players. Germany couldn’t even field a full team for the first few games. The truth is there were two dominant teams here and even if we’d have won, the lack of competition disqualifies any talk that this team was greatest ever. It made me roll my eyes to hear that, especially after the loss.
Sorry for my distraction, the US is living rent free in my head...heh, sigh.
Could there be anything to cheer for in this pandemic. The lot of an Oiler fan.....
two tournaments take place here and we get rug pulled out in both.
sigh
US winning in our own barn. blech
Chicago beating us in a series with every game being an Oilers home game. yech
make it stop..

Feeling the pain. Losing to cocky Americans is the worst - having them do typical classless American things like pull out the Canada garbage can for a team photo triggers me. Never enough to be a gracious winner I sadly expect stupid behaviour like that. Just like you see many of them score and know just where the camera is to do a self-maturabatory celebration.
Next up a wild ride in the Canadian division.
Needed a Tavares magical play.Yep. Essentially this was a tournament with two competitive sides, nobody else even came close to challenging Canada. Just prep road bumps. WE lost the one game to the only club that is in the same competitive league as us.
i did get the feel the team was hyped but that was on the basis of them all being #1 picks, some of which I'm wondering about..
I mean I loved Cozens, but he's no franchise player. Canada didn't have one forward in that kind of class. We're a long way from Sidney Crosby or McDavid here.

if Cozens deserved better, he should of played better today. Could of replaced cozens with that trash can and no one would of noticed.OK, I take back anything I said. What a biatch move. Classless.
Was it Knight that got the trashcan?
Oh well, may as well rub it in. Canada deserved that in this one I guess.
Kind of bugs me that Cozens carried the team the whole way and not one other forward could step up today. meaning the Workhorse from Whitehorse story got shot. it was a good story. But now tossed in the trashbin of 2nd place memories. Cozens deserved better anyway.

If “the barrel story” that the US team is saying is true that has been posted to Twitter (really sorry I don’t know how to post tweets) then I take back what I said about them being classless. Been part of many teams that used imagery/metaphors/symbols of that nature. And it’s totally acceptable and not at all classless.
Their sport psych probably used that story as a metaphor for the tournament and reaching their goal.
This line still makes me cringe. McGuire is so bad.Needed a Tavares magical play.
It's one of the most incredible miscalls of all time lmao. Not just that line.This line still makes me cringe. McGuire is so bad.
Read Rishaug's Twitter feed. It explains the initial reaction and clarification by American coaching staff.What are they saying?
Originally people thought that they were using a trash can with the Canadian logo to call Canada trash (the US women’s hockey team wiped their skates on our flag at the Olympics so we are sensitive to this shit)What are they saying?

It’s people like him that keep hockey off the map for so many people.It's one of the most incredible miscalls of all time lmao. Not just that line.
Gord Millers "can you believe it?!" followed up with Pierre immediately saying "I can believe it" and then going into some spiel about the Russians icing the puck or some shit lol. At the time of course no one cared, we were all flying high after that goal. But afterwards wow lol.

But on Twitter they posted a story about people crossing the Sahara desert and the only markers are these oil barrels 5 km apart. People could cross the desert by “taking it one barrel at a time”. So that became the US motto for the tournament. And they always put their next opponents logo on the trash can, which signified the next oil barrel.
