The salt from the USA-haters..I should have enough to treat the roads in my entire city for the upcoming snow storm

Good game and tourney, Swedes

Go USA !

 

[Master P]

The United States invented hockey.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

It's easy for people to make assumptions about what was happening considering the stereotype that Americans are rude, loud, and cocky (which is mostly untrue).

HEY SHUT YOUR MOUTH OR I'LL WIPE THE FLOOR WITH YOU.

Don’t they usually vote on the awards in the 2nd period intermission of the Gold Medal game?

I am not joking.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Your Olympic team is going to get shat on by Canada it’s not even funny.

What team is Trouba going to play for?

Ironic EP has Johansson listed at 6’3 hutson at 5’10 yet they looked about the same height.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

I wanted to know why hockey players lack the personality of stars in other sports. Then I came to this thread and learned why.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Yeah but who went down as the winner?

Keep talking buddy.
You seem talk to talk but can you walk the walk. By the way how Silver tastes?

You didn’t watch Sweden - Switzerland or Sweden - Czechia then i presume?

You know how silver taste from best on bests

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Thank you USA.
You make my day better.

See you in U18 WJC's in Espoo.
Congrats on GOLD from your Nato ally FINLAND.

 

[BB79]

You are welcome for basketball.

Take it back! Please!

 

[NyQuil]

Take it back! Please!

Hey, we are just starting to get good at it.

 

[RichT M]

Thank you. Glad Finland is in NATO.

It seems that today they do. No shortage back in the day. Roy, Avery, Hull, Roenick, the list goes on.

I don't know why people get so fixated on sports stars having "personality". They perform on the ice. They're not stand up comedians or actors. Who cares. Unless personality is code for "wrap sheet a mile long" like some other sports..

Personality is bad in hockey.

Tangent but Stutzle made a few blunt (English is his second language) comments that were misinterpreted and the Ottawa fanbase was in a tizzy.

 

[FinPanda]

Congrats US.

It's probably why no one says anything anymore. Even a player calling out his teammates gets blown up to a big drama. I guess the media and 5 million podcast/Youtubers need something for clicks though.

One person was bleeding from the face and one person slipped after throwing a punch. We did not see the same thing.

Glad USA won, especially with a Red Wing in net, feels good.

 

[Doshell Propivo]

1. USA
2. Sweden
3. Czechia

Seems pretty much spot on based on my observations of the games. (I'm sure Canada will be back on the podium next year.)

Awesome tourney per usual. Can't wait to czech it out in person in two years.

Hutson was bleeding because he got high sticked earlier

 

[Master P]

I was a bit baffled about this too. They seemed to be just as happy of humiliating the Swedes as the actual win? I have a hard time seeing the finns or the Czechs act like that. They would be too happy over winning the gold to care about nonsense.

Thats rich coming from you
