Chappell Roan’s The Giver, a song literally about lesbian topping she did as a country anthem cause she thought it was funny, used for Hockey Night in Canada’s opening tonight & it’s even funnier

Don’t see how it is funny. We Canadians love our hockey, love our country music and love our lesbians, and often all three at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive and are all dear to our hearts.
Overt lyrics about stone tops and pillow princesses over a montage of board slams, bare knuckle ice fights, and raging Canadian family patriotism, we must treasure we got to be around to see this
This is especially glorious since less than 2 years ago, they banned pride tape for warmups. I hope every single player who refused to wear the specialty jerseys is listening and fuming.
It also never stopped players from using the pride tape either. Major loss was the usually sick pride (and other special) jerseys being used in warmups but most of the teams still do special game nights like Pride.
I thought I was going to have to sneak this into my country cousin's playlist but they're probably gonna put it in there as a patriotic salute on their own 🇨🇦🫡
Chappell Roan's "guys suck and girls are fun" club anthem Super Modern Ultra Graphic Girl is also in the background of this Marshalls commercial. It's subtle. It may be that the Marshalls' brass didn't even realize it. https://youtu.be/Khha_NKWbwM?si=ur7N8YbxCfMljXTr
Okay, whoever did the editing on this absolutely NAILED IT and clearly had a lot of fun. That polishing the hockey stick shot? All the water bottle spraying? Thr shots at the end while she's belting out that long note? Fantastic.
The amount of times I've kicked my own leg or ass with my wheels playing roller derby or seen someone fall, sliding feet first to the pack, there would have to be some extra safety gear.

It’s #Canada saying - in Primest of Prime Time live TV in Canada - we ARE different.
I predict it won’t be long before a PWHL game is on the weekly HNIC schedule!
Yeah. Actually ok yeah.
Their music choice and clip choices have always been stellar for a long long time.
