did I say I didn't pay for my healthcare? 7 months for a blown out knee? Are you trying to be serious here? In my life time I've had 3 operations, all of which would of cost me well over $300,000 in the states, easily. You know how long I had to wait for my 1st operation? About an hour.

I once had to wait about an hour and a half to get stitches in my thumb after I cut it at work.

AN HOUR AND A HALF!!!

The majority does, You will never in your life meet someone from Canada who would rather live in the States, The states is a joke to every other developed country in the world. Like I want to send my kids to public schools so they can learn about young earth creationism

If you are gonna base your opinions on an entire population of a country with general stereotypes then feel free and I'll just ignore your ignorance. I lived in Toronto for 3 years and met alot of Canadians who envied the fact that I was from New York. I don't think other Canadians would like you speaking for them despite whether or not you are part of the student government of your high school class.

Who gives a (frank) about Mrs. Pronger? Nice insult, I'm so ashamed.

You should care....hard to keep talent and get UFAs to come when the reputation is there. We know all about that...

It's the arrogance of Canada. The only thing they can pound their chest about is hockey.

I would love to see Kane and company light them up tomorrow....it's still Canada's tournament to lose based on overall skill and depth, but oh boy....to see Carey Price get torched and then to see Babcock have to roll out Roberta.....we love him in Chicago. He comes up so big in playoff games. I think he has a street named after him in Boston...

It's not all Canadians. Every fanbase has it's bad apples.

Lots of talk about national intelligence in this thread.

A 3rd country could sweep in and really put a hurting on after most of these comments.

I laugh whenever I see what you guys pay for a 12 pack of beer. I suspect its your governments way of keeping you guys from being drunk all day instead of half.

Actually Canada has the 5th highest beer consumption in the world per capita, USA is 13.

Lots of this going on.

I'll call BS on that. No way. Not unless it was life threatening.
- SteveRain

It was life threating. My deviated Septum I waited a long time, but no money out of my pocket, and my broken hand I waited a couple of days.

Man, the #3 on the Canadian Women's curling team is one hell of a major cutie! It's rather depressing that Sweden has a bunch of heffer's.

Sounds like HouseArrest life.

I like how much you reference me when I'm not around. You have one serious man crush my friend.

The Russian team is all models. They lost to the Sweeden team.

that describes this whole thread.

I just want another 'Jeff Carter sucks and doesn't deserve to be on team Canada' thread.

Guys I get it, Canada was build on hockey. That's why it's their national sport. Just about the only thing useful that they have been able to produce over the last century is a couple billion barrels of oil and a few good hockey players. At least we have been able to import one of the two. Now that the United States, a country who holds pansey sports like Lacrosse with higher regard, is going to bring this entire nation to its knees on Friday, you all just can't stand it. You guys have 28 hours and change to hold yourself to the highest of hockey standards in the world. But when you walk into Tim Hortons and ask someone the score, youll know just by the tears in their eyes that the day of reckoning is coming.

Well played

Going into it, a lot of people said the Americans had the slightly better D and Canada had the better forwards (obviously).

But so far, it seems Canada's D has been coming through like crazy while the forwards for the Americans are looking like world beaters.

At this stage in history, Canada may have better talent overall, but at some point, elite is elite if you catch my drift. I think the talent gap is small as ever.

It's a toss-up really.
- LAownsALL

Ummmm what? Eklund isn't a lot of people, anyone who said Americans D were better were either joking, or an idiot.

Well played

Well played if you know (frank) all about Canada. This is just ignorance at it's best, Murica.

Might be. Might not. Who knows.

1. those 40% of americans also congratulated us for legalizing staplers
2. he forgot to mention we let you borrow crosby down there in pitty, he's been waiting all tourny for this game to finally play.
3.we do not limit the amount of alcohal in our beers. 3% states make me laugh, i get more sober as I drink. I'll stick to my Canadian beers, maybe some Coronas, and the lovely 10% beers when I want to feel something
4.we are the best at hockey

MOST IMPORTANTLY
Since we're Canadian

5. We will say sorry to you when we beat you

yea well, it's cold in Canada, and you STILL HAVE GARTH]!!
