British imperialism to American imperialsim, woohoo!

exactly... the loon is the national bird. that is a snow goose in the picture. not even a Canada goose. nice try but whoever made that demotivational picture is really quite ignorant and unknowledgeable about Canada. I\m so glad that arguing about this picture is irrelevant in life

oh and to the original post. Canada has always won at hockey, one more game doesn't change anything.
 
ya were not indepdent or anything...good one. I'm from America faggot. UK's just pissed cause they arent good at hockey, or any sport for that matter
 
we beat you by 11 medals in your own olympics, so yeah....good work destroying our ego.
congrats on winning you first home gold in like 3 home olympics though, that must have been great.
oh, also its funny how the guy who scored your game winner there came to America to play pro hockey, along with most of all the other players on the team. you know..i mean its the national hockey league...as in, we let Canada have a few teams in there just for fun.
 
What doesn't make sense to me is how those American hockey teams survive. I mean, look at Tampa Bay for example, don't they offer sets of season tickets for around $500? Don't they give free tickets in cases of beer. How can they possibly make a profit on this and still provide enough funding for their salary year after year.

And on the same note: Phoenix Coyotes. Here you have the second best team in the western conference and you are selling tickets at $30. However, this ticket also includes all you can eat hot dogs, pretzels, peanuts and nachos. Why do Americans always need such an incentive to eat? Maybe it should be something like "buy the $30 ticket to the Coyotes game and get a free membership at Jenny Craig"
 
come on now, lets use some common sense before making such ignorant posts.

canada has 30 million people, usa has 300 milliion. id hope that a bigger country would win more medals.

canada won 14 golds, usa won 9. meaning that were the best, in 5 more sports than the usa. but you did clean up in silvers in bronze. congrats on being 2nd and 3rd best.

crosby didnt choose to go to america to play, he was drafted by an american team. meaning they had the rights to him, if he wanted to play in the nhl, he had to play for pittsburg. maybe if you knew anything about pro sports, and how they worked, you'd understand why crosby plays for an american team.

 
I actually really, really understand sports. He plays for the NATIONAL (as in American) hockey league. Its weird that your top national sport cant even have a top notch league, your players HAVE to play for American teams if they want to be premier players.
Your point about golds is irrelevant, we are talking overall here...not specific victories.
30 million vs. 300 million? okay? fuck off, don't be making claims about how your country is better if you cant hold up to population differentials. shit, Israel only has 8 million and they can hold it down against almost anyone....

...plus you guys drink your milk out of bags, thats my biggest beef, that shit is just weird.
 
Wow, jesus fucking christ.

This thread was to show how ridiculous its gotten out of hand, and then everybody exemplified it perfectly.

Everyone chill the fuck out, im pretty sure most of Americans respect Canada and vise versa.
 
this guy knows whatsup

but its the internet and it is full of uneducated prepubescent rich kids. So I wouldnt expect anything less than uselss banter
 
ya seriously since when is it a bad thing to be on top america can b canadas chair or toilet or swing anything that an ass goes on or shit falls into basically
 
a state called new england.

you, my friend, are retarted.

jesus these threads just make me not like canadians. ive played junior hockey with canadians and i get a long perfectly with them...its you mother fuckers that bring this competitive feel and shit on americans..its a never ending fight. look at the canadian hockey team this year...then compare it to the americans. its retarted that you guys even had to go to overtime.
 
how did you lose then?

Canada has good tree and is good at hockey..... i would hope that you beat us at the only thing you guys play..
 
this.

it's a fucking winter olympic rivalry.

Canada won.

and any American who is still holding a grudge over it needs to get off their high horse and be thankful that hockey is still actually shown on US television stations.
 
if it was any other player on the team i would not have cared nearly as much as fucking crosby scoring
 
This is actually hilarious because americans think that canada's national bird is a swan... we've got a goose, im pretty sure you guys are attacking france in that picture
 
NHL: Organized in 1917 in Montreal, Quebec, CANADA

First Stanley cup won: Montreal AAA (Canadian)

First Stanley cup won in the NHL: Toronto Arenas (Canadian)

Cups won by American teams: 40

Cups won by Canadian teams: 49

Currently, America has 24 out of 30 teams in the NHL, and Canada has 6.

Theoretically, Canada should have 20% of the Stanley cups, based on how many teams we have. We have 55%.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume the nationality of the league is american

lol at all the babies trying to prove their country is better (im canadian)

NOBODY CARES

if you're trying to proove your country is better in this thread by yelling and making geographic jokes (im talking to you american hate people) and bringing the hockey thing into the debate is stupid too. you're all ignorant human beings hating on other human beings for where they live. think about that one for a sec.

kthxbai
 
yes because i was SO obviously being serious about my isreal comment....idiot.
and i wasnt talking about the american hockey league. i was talking about the NHL.
 
the states beating canada at hockey is like canada eating the states in a obeseity rate per kids contest
 
it's actually sad here in Canada too. a hell of a lot of lardos.

last stat I heard (dunno how accurate it is) is that 2/3 of Americans are overweight or obese and 1/3 of Canadians
 
ya i know just sayin that the states are knowen for there obesity but i could really care less about this argument
 
I love all the nationalism in this thread. Hopefully it gets to the point where we can go to war against each other like those fucking mental Arabs do.
 
Too bad hes a pussy bitch who starts fights and then proceeds to back out of them like the egotistical douchebag pussy he is.

he was smart enough to start the fight, so he should be smart enough to get out of it no matter how big the fight. Isn't he canada's golden boy?
 
He started it though. Plus zetterberg punched him in the face. If you watched Cidney Crybaby's interview after the game. He got all choked up. He was basically gunna cry
 
Hmmm...good try, but I sense some failed math here. I'm pretty sure that the NHL has not always had 30 teams, and I'm pretty sure when it was first founded all the teams were Canadian for several years. So the ratio of how many each country should have that you calculated is off. If it were recalculated I would guess that Canadian teams would still have the higher ratio but since it is 2 am I am not going to do this right now. I'm glad the Canadian school system is so good...
 
Yeah, I saw that...you're still wrong. The original teams of the NHL were 4 Canadian teams. The first American team didn't enter until 1924 (Boston Bruins).
 
So my original post was right...I already said that even with the fact that there were more Canadian teams in the early years it probably doesn't matter as far as the ratios of championships to teams goes.
