They just weren't American. The USSR abd other nations had teams that were not amateur like the US, etc

Clearly the scummiest of the scum. They are the most hated players in the NHL and that is even before considering their disgusting despicable politics. Horrible pieces off shit human beings on a par with Trump.

Their dad, Big Walt, was always a favorite of mine too.

I have no idea what their politics are, also don’t particularly care.

Poor McDavid, always the bridesmaid.

And Canada, can’t win the cup and can’t win the gold.

And their PM isn’t a freaking pedo.

And that US roster are all trumpers.

Both the Soviet Union and the Canadians wore red uniforms!

Just saying.

Actually I think the Canadians played better during the game but as the case a lot of times in sports opportunity/luck wins over skill.

He's a true hockey fan, and was for Canada, but he likes the US Team as well because it has many players he has followed for years. He said it was a great game.
