How the hell did you catch that, hhhhmmmmm?

I actually got a little teary-eyed watching that game.

That Crosby was a fine Nova Scotian lad. Shame about the bears, though.

I, for one, welcome our new Canadian hockey overlords.

Bears: Number One on the Stephen Colbert Threat-Down.

Although this might leave Colbert a little conflicted.

it’s only fair

God, I hate mentioning this, but it could have been worse. Bears? feh. How about coyotes?

Bears/Palin 2012!

Dogs/Trigg 2084!

Nationalist passion on Wikipedia! I loves me the internets. Kudos to you, TBogg, or whoever, who caught this ephemeral gem of humanity.

Personally, I welcome anyone who deprives the US of any spurious overlordship that contributes to our tendency to strut and preen and make ourselves foolish. Especially if they be Canadian – - great big sloppy soft spot in my heart for our Neighbors to the North.

As Jon Stewart once exclaimed: “Canada! You’re adorable!”

Having just sipped a martini, I remain,

Hilarious. But let’s admit it, it was a hell of a game. Somebody had to lose, and it happened to be the US. I can live with it. Congratulations people in Canada who like hockey (which I suspect is most of you).

Somebody had to lose, and it really had to be the US

FYT. C’mon, Canada wins, and there’s a conga-line stretching from Vancouver to Halifax, and every child (male or female) born for the next six weeks is named “Sidney”, which leads to hilarity at Canadian schools for years to come. The US wins, and 95% of the country either never knows about it or finds out three weeks later and says “huh? good, I suppose.”

As Jon Stewart once exclaimed: “Canada! You’re adorable!”

I totally agree with Jon, and as a Penguins season ticket holder, I can assure you that Sid the Kid is just cute as a bug.

So we’re sitting around the teevee at CasaLori this afternoon chanting USA! USA! USA!, and his cuteness puts the puck in the net in OT, well…..we didn’t know what to do with ourselves. We couldn’t hate on Sid, he’s our big guy. So we had another beer.

Great game though, eh?

Are you talking about the same USA that still celebrates winning a hockey game 30 years ago, makes movies about it, fellates the brave, surviving warriors live on tv and acts like scoring the goals back then was like nuclear missiles straight into the Kremlin?

And screw adorable. Adorable was over with that sneaky Nickelback performance out of nowhere during the closing ceremony.

Is anyone aware, that because of this UNBELIEVABLE VICTORY, that Robert Gibbs (the White House press secretary) will be wearing a Team Canada jersey at his next briefing? He lost the bet with Dear Leaders mouthpiece. #1!!!!!

As posted on my FB page — “Team USA Hockey clinched Silver in overtime. Crap.” Well. That’s that for another four years.

I am, and the fact that NBC keeps rubbing that Cold War relic is a reminder that 1980 is the last time the US gave a shit about ice hockey.

Here in Philadelphia, he’s known as “Cindy Crosby” cuz he has a tendency to cry a lot when he gets hit and doesn’t get the call.

A Canadian bragging about a win in hockey is a bit like a Scotsman bragging about how good his haggus is.

But, for a real meat lover trapped at a vegetarian pot luck, haggus might taste like heaven. This is sort of how I feel about hockey in the Winter Olympics. Compared to the professional sports at my viewing disposal, it rates pretty low. But, as a fan of competitive team sports, I rate it above curling, bobsledding, ice dancing, and all the other garbage in the Winter Olympics. But once the winter Olympics are over, its back to basketball, which in turn gets put on the back burner when baseball starts, which in then takes a second fiddle to football in the fall. Much like how I never consider haggus as a serious dinner option, by that point, hockey is too far down my list to get excited about.

I lived in Canada, have dated a Canadian for years, and regularly watched and attended many a hockey game. My opinion is not from lack of exposure or ignorance. Its just not my preferred sport. I am of the opinion that if a sport needs both a light and a sound to inform you that someone scored, then something is wrong with that sport.

Note. If you love hockey, then good for you. To each his own. If it makes you happy, then awesome! Its just that after years living in Canada, I am sick of being told its THE ONLY GAME THAT MATTERS.

Giant inflated mounties and beavers and moose saved him from the bears.

Canada closed the Games with every stereotype in the book, much to our own amusement.

Southern Quebec, Obama also owes Dear Leader a case of Molson’s Canadian and Thers over at WhiskeyFire is sending $50 to Doctors Without Borders in Scott Lemieux name

Its is very simple:
Never eat at a place called “Mom’s”
Never shoot pool for money with a guy named “Fats”
Never start a land war in Asia
Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line
Never bet against Canada when it comes to hockey

Also, you should avoid tugging on Superman’s cape, spitting into the wind, poking the mask off of Clayton Moore or trifling with either Jim or Slim.

Oh mortified, you know that’s not true. And you know that if Sid was Flyerscum, you would love him like we do in the Burgh.

Lookin’ forward to kickin’ your ass in the playoffs once again……

I don’t know Nickelback’s work, so have no opinion, but Neil Young was there, after all. AND William Shatner.

IIRC, Jon Stewart called Canada adorable because the Canadian gov’t had indeed done something of a political or socio-political nature that was very, very good. This was back in 2005 or so, and the US was in full swing doing very, very bad stuff.
