We're very fair to Canada. But they're not fair to us. We invite them. Come and play in Boston. Beautiful city. Boston, Muskachusetts. The perfect city really. But Canada. Very unfair. We give them two goals. Very fair. But Canada takes more goals. Not very fair, right? Goal tariffs. It's happening.

Sidney Crosby played so well for so long that the NHL wasted 10 years of true best-on-best that he got to watch Connor McDavid be Sidney Crosby
