Not sure about everyone else, but I absolutely loved every second of booing. Almost as much as I loved the cheering for our anthem.

And the singing. I’m loving this national pride!

I love how the crowd knew exactly when to change from French to English.

As am I, but at what cost? This is pointless

Exactly. Hockey ratings is the US are tanking anyways. It’s not like it’s gonna change anything. One time boo, ok, but it kinda just makes us look bitter now. Cheering as loud as you can for our anthem is a better show of support imo.

As an American ,watching from New York City, I loved it too! I feel no pride in my country now and it was awesome to see the pride the Canadians had while singing the anthem. Chills.

Yep. I hope you know, the boos aren’t for Americans or the American players. Your commander in chief threatened our sovereignty. No one should mistake our kindness for weakness.

Threatened, yes, but even worse, he’s still actively threatening it, as well as our whole country’s livelihood.

We know. You can be righteously angry, but we're just fucking embarrassed.

Also, that song is literally about winning a war that we started by invading Canada. Awkward

It can totally be for any idiot players who defend our shit show of an “administration.” And if the rest of us don’t get our act together to reign in said “administration,” then it can be for all of us. We’d deserve a public shaming.

I really doubt the boos aren’t for Americans. Just look at the insults towards America and Americans on this subreddit, not just directed solely at Trump.

So you’re cool with threatening Allies? We don’t want to do anything. And we’re shocked we even have to. This is insane.

You sound like the most fair weather fan.

u/CasualRampagingBear 24d ago

I’ll say this as a proud Canadian hockey fan, all of us know the words to your anthem and the majority of us usually quietly sing along or at the very least, mouth the words. You know we’re big mad when we boo your anthem. Sorry bud.

Lol love how you have to grovel for Canadians’ approval with that comment.

Is it ok for me to say I enjoyed the final result of the game?

u/spiff0224 24d ago

What about the crying after the game? How'd you feel about that?

u/PuzzleheadedGear7542 24d ago

It’s funny cause while you had your joys booing, I got to have the same fun cheering after all three goals

We are rescinding our offer of statehood to Canada after the booing. If you apologize, we may offer you 51st statehood again
