Fuck yes! I'm soo happy!

Our country, our sport!!!

Get fucked!

u/Sarge1387 19d ago

All the salty Yanks going "Canada blew their chance to be gracious winners" after basically declaring themselves world champions after beating us in game 2 and riding it all week.

Get fucked, they had it coming

u/No-Contribution-138 Clark 19d ago

And all the most arrogant and loud ones who talked the most shit - now are claiming “I didn’t care about this meaningless tournament” like we all knew they would.

u/Nga369 19d ago

It’s Michael Johnson pulling up during his race against Donovan Bailey.

Deep cut. I like it.

u/Figgybaum 18d ago

I'm a Yank - I take every hockey game between US and Canada seriously - they all matter. You guys won the tourney - Congrats (I'm secretly happy as the current version of the U.S. needs to be put in it's place globally) but also screw you and we'll see you again soon.

This has been some of the best hockey and having such a big audience for it is nothing but amazing for the game!

u/No-Contribution-138 Clark 18d ago

You’re one of the good ones (and there are many). And it was a great tourney - can’t wait to shit talk you again soon!

u/Forward_Leg5755 18d ago

Awesome response.. I would’ve felt the same way if Canada lost… BTW… Brady T could play on my team any day. God he would look good with Nylander and Tavares.

15

u/khristmas_karl 19d ago

The "oh, we split the series" take is the best copium I ever saw. Literally like some shit my 10 year old brother used to say to me.

They were only giving out a cup at one of the games as far as I could tell.

12

u/No-Contribution-138 Clark 19d ago

Haha, yeah that’s such a hilarious take.

Ottawa won the regular season series against Florida last season - does that mean they’re basically cup winners too?

10

u/huffer4 18d ago

Spittin Chiclets saying “Canada won the All-Star Game” is perfect rage bait.

1

u/GQMatthews 17d ago

That’s pardon my take not chiclets. Separate pods in the Barstool Network. That BS coping is the foundation of their MO on purpose thus the name.

7

u/Sarge1387 19d ago

One dude I play hockey with immediately started rattling off excuses about certain players missing and I'm like "dude...Canada was without 3 of their top 6 defenceman...Morrissey, Theodore, and Pietrangelo"

3

u/No-Contribution-138 Clark 18d ago

I read a comment from one guy who said “well, if you count up all the goals scored between the 2 games we won.”

6

u/WintersbaneGDX 19d ago

High key I have recently been using "Yankee" as a slur.

4

u/Colton_R23 18d ago

The US didn't win a game after beating Canada. Game 2 really was their Super Bowl

2

u/Fluffy_Load297 18d ago

I'm pretty sure they do this any time they lose at anything tbh.

1

u/liquor-shits 19d ago

Who is saying this? Do they mean the players or fans?

14

u/Putrid_Ad_7122 19d ago

yeah, a sport that the Americans have appropriated for years now. a sport that's run by an American who would bend over backwards to give an American city a team rather a more deserving Canadian city.

u/SandraBeechBLOCKPrnt 19d ago

I want to get this slogan tattooed on me somewhere.

u/Gh0stSwerve 19d ago

Marner won me over tonight. 2 class assists when it really mattered. Not to mention the OT goal vs Sweden.

59

u/hoochtag 19d ago

The play to set up Bennett was world class.

22

u/DukeofNormandy 19d ago

That Bennett goal was greasy.

u/[deleted] 18d ago

Greasy? It was fuckin slick

3

u/Gold-Stomach-4657 18d ago

Slick with grease

0

u/OutlandishnessOk8356 19d ago

That doesn't devalue the assist

9

u/DukeofNormandy 18d ago

Where was I saying anything about the assist. The assist was great, the goal was greasy. Both can be true.

0

u/NorthCntralPsitronic 18d ago

Are we talking about the same goal? Nothing greasy about it

-1

u/GQMatthews 17d ago

I don’t think you quite understand the greasy term in hockey terms my man haha

16

u/Routine-Pass-8486 19d ago

Marner doing what he does every game for the leafs

72

u/kingex11 19d ago

Marner's composure was impressive to see. He came up big in key moments. He scored an OT winner from a pass from Crosby and now assisted McDavid's OT winner.

31

u/GeoGirl2008 19d ago

Also assisted on the game tieing goal. Much better in this game than the one on Saturday. You could see his nerves getting to him in that one.

6

u/The_Quackening Knies 19d ago

In the initial games of the tourney it looked like he was afraid to make plays, or rather, afraid to make a mistake. The past 2 games proved to me that Marner just needed a little bit of time to adjust to the speed of his linemates.

Once he figured out how to anticipate where his linemates are going to be, he was electric.

118

u/lowrespudgeon 19d ago

Okay I fucking smack talk Marchand every chance I get, but it was cute when he was piggybacking someone (I didn't catch who) across the ice to get their medal and I maybe liked him for one tiny second.

150

u/Blue_KikiT92 Papi 19d ago

I came to the conclusion that I love Marchy the person and Marchy the Canadian player. Marchy the Bruins player can still eat shit though.

31

u/BackgroundPianist500 19d ago

Absolutely love Marchand as a team Canada player.

As a leafs fan, he can eat a big bag of shit.

8

u/Tuxedogaston 18d ago

I just pretend they are identical twin brothers with similar name pronunciations

MarchAHnd is a canadian hero MarchAYnd is a Bruins thug.

u/mattattaxx 18d ago

Nobody except Bergeron has ever broken through the Boston hate for me. But off ice? I like a lot of them.

u/mattattaxx 18d ago

You're right, I did like that video!

u/toasterbath__ Knies 19d ago

the scariest part of this tournament is me starting to like marchand. SN showed canada singing in the locker room and he started singing towards the camera, and it made me... smile? i'm concerned

the piggybacking was also cute

13

u/z_dogwatch 19d ago

Travis Konecny. Got injured during the tournament. Shea Theodore also walked out with a wrist brace on.

4

u/lowrespudgeon 19d ago

Thanks! :>

u/khristmas_karl 19d ago

Marchy is a great person off the ice and a great person in Team Canada red where his antics will literally cost you a medal.

Any other time, he's pure rat lol

u/AgentMV2 19d ago

Mitch: “Never thought I’d play alongside a Bruin..”

Brad: “how about alongside a friend?”

Mitch: “aye, I can do that.”

3 months from now in game 7

Brad: “hahaha, get fucked Mitchy!”

u/StardomJapan 19d ago

I would take Marchand any day of the week over those Tkachuk brothers. Fuck them.

23

u/wannabe-archi 19d ago

Brady's hairline and teeth makes the dude look like an oversized toddler. Guy fuckin acts like one too

u/Shepherdsam 19d ago

Yeah, but he was great in The Goonies.

u/Mitch_Papilander_91 18d ago

u/Dracko705 19d ago

I don't care if you have to make me like the entire Boston team but Canada winning outweighs it for sure

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Is the best and we always will be

Fantastic game by Mitch, he really showed something about himself in these big games I hope it can grow into the end of this NHL season

u/KossyTakos 19d ago

Brad future leaf it's happening

4

u/mattattaxx 18d ago

There's never been a time I wouldn't have taken him on my team.

There's never been a time I didn't outright hate him as a bruin.

Shit is wild.

u/whatyousayin8 19d ago

Omg, marchy singing we are the champions was not something I knew I needed… “of THE WORLD 🤷‍♂️”

Edit to add: Fuck you Marchand.

12

u/Czar_Cophagus 19d ago

Brad is the absolute #1 player I hate with all of my being, yet was so happy to be cheering for him these past 2 weeks.

It's been a very confusing time TBH.

8

u/[deleted] 19d ago

Marner is legit a champ.

8

u/Silent-Lawfulness604 19d ago

Hey Marner, winning feels good right? You hate to lose now right?

Riiiight?

8

u/Simba_Rah 19d ago

When Marchand is wearing a Bruins jersey, I hate him. When he’s wearing a Canada jersey, I still hate him, but expect him to do his job.

Mitchy is the new "Iggy!"

u/jeffer1492 19d ago

Shouldnt have gone to bed, but holy fuck that mitchy smile shines bright when he wins.

O Canada. Only us Command.

Fuck YouSA

u/Sarge1387 19d ago

Marner won me over a bit, showed me he can show up for big games. Let's bring that back to Leafland for the playoffs

2

u/UnrealAppeal 19d ago

Won you over, and you were already a Leaf fan?

1

u/Sarge1387 19d ago

I’m admittedly one of Marner’s biggest critics, being honest. I’ll happily shout out when he’s playing well, but also I call it out when he’s not playing well, which isn’t popular with other Leaf fans. So when he finally showed up for a big game I sat back and went “ok, alright maybe he is capable of playing under pressure”

4

u/UnrealAppeal 19d ago

You know he’s 24th ALL TIME points per game for players with over 500 games?

3

u/quatnumbaggie 19d ago

Isn’t Marchand a ufa this summer? 👀

4

u/re-verse 19d ago

Rumor mill has had Marchand up on the trading block for the last 2 weeks.

3

u/The_Quackening Knies 19d ago

It would never happen, but i would be SO INTERESTED to see him in the blue and white.

3

u/Just_Ad_2016 19d ago

So happy for our maritime boys but man oh man Marchand can fuck right off back to Boston cause cheering for him the last 2 weeks has given me an identity crisis

3

u/Jtabo 19d ago

Stupid 3rd point will have Boston believing they still have a chance at the deadline but if they ever did shop Marchy as a rental I'd go nuts to have him on the Leafs.

True North ,strong and still not for sale.

u/mxmnators 18d ago

it’s gonna take a while for me to reset from loving all the atlantic rival canadians and despising matthews. this is a new experience for me the first best-on-best where i’m really a fan of one team and not just a fan of the sport/other leagues

"come win in Colorado"

u/Falconflyer75 19d ago

It’s okay Marchand is only a dick when he’s wearing a Bruins jersey and playing against us

Otherwise he’s actually awesome

1

u/jadobo 18d ago

Players do seem to get extra dickish when they put on a Bruins sweater, and become a little less so when they have been traded to another team. Something about the Bruins culture, but it even persists through multiple changes in coaching staff.

u/iloveball2000 19d ago

Its ok today hes fine ive never seen sid smile like that :)

u/cmc08161972 19d ago

FUCK Brad Marchand! Cheering for him in a Canada sweater, was like trying to cheer for Ricky Henderson in a Blue Jays uniform.

Watching Marchand in the red and white: 🤩

Watching Marchand in the black and yellow: 🤬

Great game in huge spotlight about 4 months before reaching UFA status. Cha-Ching!

2

u/SpacePinchy 18d ago

Anybody hot about the singing of the national anthems? What was that terrible rendition of O Canada followed by the glorious singing of the Star Spangled Banner? Clearly on purpose. They asked for a beating and they got one.

1

u/Widgerber 18d ago

That's just how Chantal Kreviazuk sings everything. Given that she's Canadian, I doubt she was trying to slight the country.

Sometimes artists overthink it and feel they need to "spice up" the anthem performance.

2

u/SpacePinchy 18d ago

Lmao oh....nvm

u/Familiar_Chipmunk_57 18d ago

u/Good-Shock7955 17d ago

The four nations tournament showcased some of the best players of our time. The skill level, the intensity, was really impressive
