First of all as an American I love Canada, and visit there frequently in fact I dare say I've never met a rude Canadian that wasn't French Canadian, and yes it is easy to pick on and hate on America but almost always this is political.

But the simple fact remains you are protected because of us. Who in their right mind would ever f with Canada with their big brother to the South. Canada gets away with being the sensible country all the time while we always take the brunt of all the hate.

You travel to Europe and everyone loves Canada and hates on America, your country is a beautiful place but unfortunately lacks any backbone. I'm not calling you all a bunch of pussies, but you live in the best of both worlds a big brother to protect you, and a big brother to take the punches from all the hate.

After all why does 90% of your population live on US borders? Our economies are tied together closer than you think.

As a Canadian, I'm in Fishy's corner on this one. NHL players drink champagne and smoke cigars in the DRESSING ROOM after a championship victory. You don't do it out on the ice in front all the fans. The only people in Canada who actually give a s*it about women's hockey are young girls. They're up there sitting in the stands watching this stuff go down after the game. No doubt that a lot of the young girls in the crowd will be boozing it up and smoking as soon as they get the chance as a result of the poor display by the women's hockey team. On the bright side, the net effect will be more sluts in Canada. The downside is that it's tough to find a classy lady to date long term up north. There are no genuine ladies. This is just another example of women trying to be like men, and failing miserably, in an attempt to make it in a man's world. Note: Just read the article and realized that this was done well after the fans had gone home. Doesn't make it as big an issue IMO in that case.

Women are drama queens, they always try to take it to the next level, so no surprise with the celebration. Being a former player, guys like to celebrate with the boys in the locker room and throw a few back and bullshit about the big win, they do not need others to be around and witness it, they're just happy to be with the boys that fought the battle with them.

Big deal beer and cigars, your just lucky they didn't start scissoring each other

[smitch124]

Please, this is such a non-issue. Since when is everyone on the board such a beacon of valor? I think its great, celebrate away!!

I thought the game was damn entertaining too.

I agree with many points, very good post. We are very thankful to have such a good relationship with America, and not many countries would attempt messing with us, knowing America has Canada's back. I wouldn't quite say that Canada gets away with being sensible and that America takes the brunt of all the hate. America is the economic leader in the world due to its mass population, and protecting it is a big reason why they spend so much on their military. I fully support the US sticking their nose in world affairs, and helping keep the peace in agressive, war filled nations. Canada also plays a part in keeping the peace, even though the political support outweights the military contributions.

A big reason why 90% of the population lives within 100 miles of the border has mostly to do with climate. I agree that our economies are tied very closely together, I mean we are the biggest trading partners in the world, not to mention its FREE TRADE. If you compare, Alaska makes up 17% of the United State's land mass, with less then 1% of the population due to climate. Same goes for Northern Canada, which probably makes up 80% of the land mass. So it's only logical that the population would be in the southern section, close to the US border.

Sure, Canada relies heavily on the US, but it works both ways. Imagine the US didn't Canada to supply them with oil? Canada is in fact the US's largest oil supplier? With the struggling US economy, imagine them having to purchase the majority of their fuel elsewhere?

I don't quite grasp and understand why Canada's economic downturns seem to be shorter and smaller in scope. Does it have to do with government, planning, etc. I'm not really sure.

what a convoluted post. what is the point of this, that Canada only exists because America allows it? "Canada gets away with being sensibe while US takes the brunt of the hate" what does Canada have to do with why Europe dislikes the US, You make it sound like Canada is out picking fights with other countries because they know the US will protect them

Funny you should make that comment with your avatar. Tonnes of class there, right?

Won't Lebron or Kobe be doing this when they win the championship ???

Kobe has won four titles and I've never seen him doing this, if that's what you're asking.

Looks like Kobe's enjoying himself drenched in booze with tonnes of TV stations, cameras and writers present. What's captured on those cameras, is seen by millions and millions viewers across the world on their television sets. What's the difference if people see it happening from the crowd, or on the tv? It's all the same!

This is the most ridiculous post ever guys. Why can't American's accept defeat gracefully???? Why do they always have to find something to make them feel better about defeat?

[MJT1212]

This is your best thread EVER fishead, at least of the ones I've seen.

Stay classy Canada. Underage drinking on live tv, not gonna go over well.

That was in their locker room, and Kobe was not underage at the time.

Fishhead is just making a big stink because he hates Canada, but your comparisons are not good.

IOC to investigate celebration

Hey smart guy the legal drinking age in Canada is 19!!!!

That was mentioned several times in the thread as was the fact that at least one player was underage.

The legal drinking age in the individual provinces and territories of Canada is

Marie-Philip Poulin, is one month away from the legal drinking.

I was in Toronto in 2002 when the men played for the Gold. There were plenty of rude Canadians that day. In fact I would say most of them were azzholes.

Throw the underage thing out the window, I've already agreed that should be frowned upon. Now why aren't my comparisons good?

What's the difference if in locker room or on ice? It's not like the locker room is behind closed doors when the media is present and the cameras are rolling! Do you agree with that yisman, please say yes. Millions of viewers see these players actions, it doesn't matter where they are, does it? I'd make the case that Kobe getting sloshed in locker room is worse, because he's a bigger role model then the whole Canadian womens hockey team alone!

[trumpdown]

Not my intention at all. Canada is loved for being a warm soft friendly mitten of a country who doesn't generally engage in controversy.

IMO Canada is smart for not waging war with anyone, and has learned to stay clear of controversy. Whereas the US is hated, feared, and loved because we stick our neck out. Again the term "backbone" comes to mind.

That was the point of my post. It raises the questions as to why America is hated.

[dwaechte]

Anyone who has a problem with this should probably lighten the **** up, but whatever.

Also, do we really need the stupid ass patriotic ""Canada Sucks!", no "America Sucks!"" bullshit? Grow up guys.

[magynuck]

This just off the news wire. This strategy was so successful that the men's team is considering employing the same strategy in today's game. Ron Wilson feels that losing today will be worth it if it gives Finland an opportunity to ebarrasses [sic] themselves. US Olympic officials were quick to support the hockey team. Without this outside the box thinking we would not be in firm control of the overall race for the most bronze medals.

What you forget is that here in Canada we do not really care much about underage drinking.

[GGPLAYER]

I can't believe we're even talking about women's hockey. There would be almost no press on this unless these broads were puffing on cigars and drinking piss Molson's. Hell it was a Gold Medal game and NBC did not even have it on their main nextwork! Let's argue about curling...now there is a sport!
