And the US made it clear why Canadians shouldn't care about hockey because the US is soooo much better.

Sir, you're going to need to ease off the copium. America's hockey future is looking bright, there's no need to lie about their embarrassing past.

Lol. Canada's toast. The game has gotten too expensive for the middle class to put their kids in, and with a population as small as ours the talent pool is thinning out quickly I have no illusions about that, and it's a big part of the reason I don't care about watching hockey anymore. Ruskies, many gold. Canada, many gold. America, mostly silver.

Again, Russia has never won gold. The US wins the ones that count. You know it.

Why are you pretending that the Olympic athletes of Russia and the USSR aren't Russia it's so bizarre.

The US wins the ones that count. You know it.
Historically, the U.S. loses the ones that count. Like Vancouver or that time they lost while they were hosting the Olympics. Man, that must have been really embarrassing.

Russian didn't exist until 1991, and the Olympic athletes of Russia is not Team Russia. They were a group of athletes the IOC allowed to play due to the lack of evidence of them juicing while Team Russia was DQ'ed from the Olympics for cheating. USSR != Russia, that was the Soviet Union.

Those didn't matter.

I meant for you. You're trying to re-write history to make America seem like it has an illustrious hockey history.
There is no re-writing here. You're trying to say not Russia is Russia. I corrected you. When was the last time Canada won the Miracle on Ice? Only the US has done that. Just admit it. Team USA has an illustrious hockey history.

Hockey Canada got decimated during the #metoo era . turns out the hockey players were gangbanging chicks . they pretty much gutted the hockey program and froze funding for several years. there has been an effort by the government to change the culture around hockey in canada . i dont really expect canada to be a top hockey team for some years to come
