CANADA VS USA DEATHMATCH

[Nikose Tyris]

@KrogothWolf: Hey that's really kind of you, my reasonable rent, wages, and wonderful commuting system would like to have a word with you though.

Edit@KrogothWolf: Also Maple Leafs.

@Everyone: The USA played an amazing game tonight. I'd be proud of my country, were I from the USA, for doing such a good job- and the ballsy move on pulling the goalie paid off great!

I mean, everyone else were kind of terrible. Even Finland, and they got third.

That just proves my point about not having a Hockey Team. The two cities in canada that should have a hockey team don't. Toronto and Edmonton.

As a ranger fan and a resident of the USA, I am screaming to the world the hatred I have for Crosby.

I wonder how penguin fans feel right now.

[DarkDrgon]

The one I know called me a second after the goal to brag. And they say Ranger fans have no class.... Although I probably would have done the same thing if it were Calahan to score the gold winning goal

The girl I was watching it with was a Devils fan.

All I remember before I blacked out was her screaming "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..."

[krogothwolf]

Haha, well it's all flame fans were I live so everyone was jumping for joy, Seeing Iggy pass that puck to crosby while fighting off a check was great!

I screamed so loud I woke up my baby and made her jump. It was sorta funny but I got in trouble for trying to give her a heart attack. I had been trying to keep her up so she watched it all, it's historic moment for canada. Gold at home! Whoot!

I can't get over how downright magical these Olympics have been. I mean, let's go over some of the things that happened for Canada...

1) Alexandre Bilodeau is discovered by the Canadian media to be pretty much the nicest guy to ever walk the earth, showing how much time he spends with his brother (who has cerebral palsy) and how much he cares about his brother. He then comes out of nowhere to beat Dale Bagg-Smith, the guy who got Australian citizenship and skied for Australia because he didn't like the time commitment Canada wanted. This, by the way, is the first gold medal ever won by a Canadian on home soil.

2) Maelle Ricker wins a gold medal in snowboard cross, in front of her friends and family no less, in an Olympics hosted by her hometown.

3) Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, the youngest athletes in the Ice Dance competition skate two flawless performances en route to taking gold. They are the youngest athletes to ever win a gold in ice dance.

4) John Montgomery, a random dude from Manitoba, comes out of nowhere to win over the country with his personality and then goes on to win gold in Skeleton. His celebration was one of the proudest moments for Canadians all over.

5) Clara Hughes becomes the only person EVER to win multiple medals in both the summer olympics and the winter olympics.

6) Marianna St. Gelais won the silver in 500m short track on her 20th birthday.

7) The brothers Hamelin, and really the entire speed skating team, is wholly underwhelming until the last two days. Charles Hamelin declares "I am not leaving without a gold, the country expects better than that," and proceeds to win gold in his last two events.

8) Joannie Rochette's mother dies of a heart attack upon getting to Vancouver to watch her little girl skate in the Olympics. Skate Canada and the COC both state that they are 100% behind Rochette, regardless of what she does, and that she has their full support if she can't go through with the Olympics. Despite this, Rochette wins the bronze medal in women's figure skating, wins the Terry Fox award in recognition of her unwillingness to quit and is then named Canada's flag bearer for the closing ceremony.

9) Kevin Martin was the third for Canada back in 2002, where the men's curling team won silver. Right at the start of the tournament he says, "I want gold. I know we can win gold, and you bet that I won't be satisfied with silver." Canada wins the gold in men's curling.

10) Men's hockey. To say this country lives and breathes hockey doesn't do it justice. After losing 5-3 to our neighbours to the South, Canada goes through Germany, Russia and Slovakia to get a rematch on the world's biggest stage. The USA, by the way, was the unexpected juggernaut of the tournament. Oh, if that wasn't enough, the US just beat Canada in the U18's and the World Juniors. Following the Women's example, Canada plays out of their freaking minds. In OT, Sidney Crosby, the FACE of Canadian hockey, the golden boy and favoured son that is beloved by the nation, scores the winning goal. Ironically, the pass came from Jarome Iginla who scored the winner in 2002 at Salt Lake, as if it were some crazy passing of the torch.

11) Oh, and if that gold wasn't nice enough, it was Gold #14. Which means Canada has won more golds as a host nation than anyone else, as well as more golds in a single games than any other country EVER.


Unreal games. Just...unreal two weeks.

And Canada goes back to being our poor little brother in the north

If Canada is poor, what does that make America? How many trillions of dollar of debt do you have again?

[Jagos]

We don't count the first trillion. That's an investment.
