One really good thing is there are lots of girls playing in both the US and Canada

Need to break down per capita.

This is an incredibly childish comment.

Anytime a European country loses a sporting event it’s always the fault of the population size.


Not even considering that hockey is a fringe sport in the US. Grow up.

Not to mention when its some other global issue that the US gets criticized for, they sweep population size under the rug because it won't booster their argument.

 

[Nineteen67]

If America only sent reps from MN MI and Mass we would still contend in any world hockey competition. Hell, have you seen what NHL s team MN looks like right now?

Add Arizona and they could win the Olympics.

 

[LeapOnOver]

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.

Just called being hungry for victory. Harder to turn that on and off when you are a teenager. You can't just be good, you have to want the win more than anything.

"Free Burittos"

YES!

"from Chipotle"

NO!

 

[BB79]

Free Chipotle? If it's anything like my experiences with my local store, I hope they enjoy standing in line for a half hour to order their slow food. What's that, you'll just order online? Enjoy missing half of your order and the rest being wrong. Place sucks.

 

[Spender]

I was of course rooting for Sweden, but USA was very well-deserving of the gold. Fun game and good performances from both teams, but USA was clearly a step above.

 

[Billdo]

Some plug on Sweden who didn't touch the ice the first two periods started a bunch of shit.

Sweden got real greasy when they went down a bunch.

 

[TimeZone]

Russia would have been stacked this year on paper, would have loved to have seen how they matched up against the US, Sweden

Gross Chipotle is disgusting

 

[Master P]

Ok, now we can end the day.

Hugs and kisses to you.

 

[ZEBROA]

I am proud of Sweden did not think they would play close to this good. It was not a 6-2 difference play wise. Missed Carlsson. We need all of our best to beat Canada or US with the system we play.

Ive never had it, is it really that good?

No

I’m surprised by most of the comments about it here.

Is it to die for, no but It’s very solid Mexican food, at least for it being ‘fast food’.

Exponentially better in quality and freshness than Taco Bell, for example, which I struggle to eat unless pretty drunk.

Chipotle can be a little pricey but I can willingly eat it and be satisifed pretty much every time I do. I’d recommend it

They dont have any in Quebec as far as I am aware of but ill keep my eyes out for it when I am in the States next

thanks

Well deserved win for the USA. I dislike the audience booing (spelling?) the referees, and then the American players. They acted like bad losers. It's better to cheer for ones own team, than to boo the opponents and referees.

As a Swede, I actually think Sweden was lucky to get past Switzerland in the quarter final. Switzerland's arguably best player Dionicio wrongly got penalized and Sweden scored the game winner on the power play. Even the Swedish expert commentators thought the penalty was wrong.
So no, it's not because of the referees that Sweden missed the gold medal.

Just be proud about the silver medal. And be glad about winning the J18 (was it, right?) a couple of years ago, despite being outplayed by the Americans (basically the same teams that played now).

Time to invest in Chipotle-away.

How does something like this work? Do the players get some type of special ID or card?

No clue but Id assume a gift card or some card that gets swiped at checkout or something

I Imagine there’s a limit or one or two at most, per day

 

[ZEBROA]

I dont understand the childish gloating when winning. WTH is that about? I cringe when any fan of any country does that. It is just embarrassing. Be bigger when u win. When u loose, who cares, u lost and nothing can change that. Why even reply.

 

[Stelmacki]

Congrats to the USA, they had their best players available and they executed. But can someone please teach the American players some class? I don't think you'd see a Canadian (or other country) celebrating an empty net goal to go up by 4 the way the Americans do. If it was the go up by 2... sure, but not 4. Calm down, you won.

oh yeah, the Canadians would definitely be classier Easier to draw attention away from their gang rape that way. Get the f*** out of here with your bullshit.
