Won't change the fact we are better seed, therefore US > Canada.

Got heeeeeem.

Until you medal higher. If you base it on actual Olympic wins, then last 3 Olympics: Canada 2 Golds. US none.

Canada > USeh.

The actual goal post, not the crossbar.

Did I really need to explain myself?

- jkc3953

Yeah it's called the goal post not the regular post

Really ? Wow, I'm impressed that McDonald's is stepping up to the plate and making the lives of their employees better.

Based on what?

We beat Finland. Finland beat Russia. The US needed a technicality to get to OT vs Russia and then 9 shoot out rounds to win.

So Ipso facto...Canada > USA

are you forgetting you needed OT to beat finland?

Just another canuck who has to look in the past.

Stop going so in-depth with the past and see what is happening TODAY.


USA = Better seed = Better team.

You can try and justify your logic anyway you'd like, but the US had trouble with Russia, in comparison to Latvia, who's best player is Zemgus Girgensons (Excluding their goalie).

But yeah, good luck beating us.

I believe the US hasn't cracked the top 30 in math scores and CAN is freaking out about dropping out of the top 10.

Not trying to be nitpicky here, but come on buddy. Let's be real when it comes to education in NA

Its not fair, we have to count the south into our scores.

Too bad tomorrow is Thursday, not Friday.

That money you don't spend on health care surely didn't go towards your education .

no they dont, ive been very sarcastic about everything I have typed so far. But I will say one thing in earnest, thats just not true. Its clear I live in buffalo, and I have many friends in canada, they pay a lot more in taxes than i do.
- Mentalorgasm5


I could find many comparisons that show the two are very close. We also have higher cost of living but we have higher average household incomes.

Calm down. I was just pointing out actual wins, not meaningless round robin seedings. Thats almost as bad as referring to 2006 as the brush with the Stanley Cup.

Yup. We needed OT...to beat the team, that beat the team, that in reality beat you. Wonder how Oshie felt during those attempts knowing that they didnt really deserve to be there.

- sanfordnson


Pointing out actual wins.. In Olympics from 4+ years ago. You keep referring to the past, but refuse to refer to the present.

Not a single Canadian can sit here and justify that Canada is doing better than the US THIS Olympics.

While, Americans have every aspect pointing towards the US being better THIS Olympics.

- Iggysbff

Realistically you guys have a higer cost of living, and depending on where you compare yourself to in the USA, the US has many poopholes, you dont exactly have a better standard of living.

But the tax rate is not even comparable, at least comparing it to ontario, and I live in NYS, one of the worse states in regards to taxes.
