Amazing how ignorant too many voters were and amazing how many are going to be hurting and not supporting Trump. Trump and Musk are overreaching with layoffs, wrong how tariffs will work, wrong and loosing in court so far, and in the end Trump will not get away with being a dictatir or bamboozling Americans. He is no Christian and has cheated stole misrepresented his assets his entire life. Such a failure yet he kept lieing and the Democrats didn't have a good game plan. He hopes to avoid assassination. Does anyone even know if he is truly a hockey fan? Trump is Putin's buddy and those Oligarchs is where he got some $. No wonder he wants Putin to take part of Ukraine back - Trump is paying back for his loans - what a businessman - how many lives will be lost over this. Hey Trump got covid shot but he never admitted drinking bleach and no face masks was wrong. Shots can be good for most people and masks help a little bit. Trump tries to imitate Reagan's voice inflection but Trump is a failure through and through

Incredible how ignorant some people are of politics. Limited info, all emotion.

Greenland doesn’t have a hockey team…well at least not a good one. I could probably make that team.

Them treating that like the Stanley cup is a joke. The medal was enough. They won 3 games for crying out loud 🙄

I think some introspection is needed here. What could be so wrong in your life to hate on something like this?

Trump is the CURE for cancer. People like you. Get used to the next 4 years as he dismantles everything you love and crushes everything you believe in. Its going to be amazing.

Love the post few days ago basically saying we don't want to mix in politics here but then goes on write 1000 words on politics.

Now we are at a point that due to the volume of political posts and how this website is monetized by traffic we act like that original rule never existed.

This tournament was amazing, even better than anyone expected! (even the diehards that knew it would be great). I've been to a lot of big games and the CAN v SWE and CAN v USA in MTL were two of the best moments I've witnessed. Soooooo glad we decided to go.

I do tend to agree that doing this mid-season was risky and put undue pressure and stress on the bodies of players under contract to perform for their own teams. We saw the games live and right from the first CAN v SWE puck drop these guys were going hard...ALL OUT! There will be a lot of ice-packs, physio, etc. this week for these guys and they all have to go back to their regular teams/job tomorrow.

Team USA was a force! They were bigger stronger faster than anyone else, and just lost on "one of those plays". They will be back stronger than ever and hockey in the USA is an absolute freight train, coming at full speed (so maybe CAD shouldn't get too cocky).

The NHL won't hit the same for several weeks now. We just watched some of the best hockey we'll ever see. Such high percentage play, so disciplined, so intense, so mistake free. Thank you hockey for existing this past 2weeks! What a sport...

Tourney was great. However, it should be taking place at the beginning of August. That is when many players start getting back into shape so it will boost their efforts. If they get hurt, they would still have several weeks before camp and 2 months before season openers.

Do you understand how unpopular Trudeau is in Canada right now?

I don't agree with the booing of any national anthem. Nor do I agree with elected leaders attempting to undermine longstanding allegiances between countries with infammatory and unnecessary rhetoric.

There are numerous historical instances of Canadians assisting Americans, and vice-versa. Your President and his recent treatment and disrespect towards your strongest ally is where you should be looking at and pointing the blame towards. There was no booing of the American anthem during Biden's administration, and Trudeau was in power in Canada for the entirety of that.

- Kinger34


So much wrong to unpack here...

Yes there are many who dislike Trudeau, but you know very well that Canadians will look right past his disastrous shortcomings and bring in Trudeau 2.0 (Canada is so far left that if McDavid himself announced his Conservative campaign (just an example) Canadians would be hating on him and calling him Hitler etc. etc.

But let's get serious here for just a brief moment.

NOBONDY BOOED when Biden was president!?!? Is this a joke? From day one when he closed the pipeline Canadians were outraged. Americans booed their own anthem FFS! Notwithstanding him being a Weekend at Bernie's lifeless prompter reading zombie, there was an entire movement named after him! Let's Go Brandon...

Trump, in his not so humble egocentric way, is cleaning up the USA at anyone's expense. ANYONE. Canada is certainly no exception and Canada has to clean up it's act before looking outward. We have embraced the little Swedish Greta girl, demonized people like Kevin O'Leary, and essentially shut off every single economic valve that is available to us.

but please continue to tell us how everyone hates Trudeau so much and is calling for change. There will be no change.

(it's at the point now where Liberals do not deserve to live with Conservatives any longer. clean up your own f4n mess now).

I was just going to respond, but it would be redundant. Great job. Paint the big picture for the kiddies.

Man, you completely misinterpreted my messaging here.

The poster I was responding to indicated that it was Trudeau lovers who were booing the national anthem. The booing had nothing to do with Trudeau and everything to do with what has gone on south of the border with Trump during his latest administration.

My point was that Canadians were not booing the U.S. national anthem when Biden was in office. This is only recently happening because of what has gone on down south.

Let me be clear to you here. I am not a Trudeau or Trump supporter. I do not approve of either's tactics when it comes to governing their respective countries. I didn't say a word about people hating Trudeau and calling for change. I was merely responding to the OP's quote that it was all Trudeau lovers who were booing letting him know that Trudeau is not in good standing with the majority of Canadians right now.

Not sure how any of what I said was wrong.

Instant classic is a fair description. For a meaningless tournament the 4 Nations Cup significantly outperformed expectations. I don't think a lot of Canadian fans are appreciating just how close that game was this morning, but you'll get your revenge shot soon enough. McDonalds is going to have to work that goal into their next Matthews/ McDavid ad.

People who come to hockey forums to solve issues of weltpolitik are as dumb and misguided as poor old Chantal Kreviavckuck sounded last night. We're not going to solve it here. No point in bringing it up.
