i absolutely believe this is where we are headed. this has always been the playbook. sartre wrote in 1945 that they delight in their own bad faith. in 2017, andrew anglin made it the official editorial policy for his nazi blog. it’s always “just a joke,” but the punchline is actual violence.

2 fucking headlines right next to each other

Facebook did to this generation's brains what they thought video games were doing to ours. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Americans have never even won a 4 Nations Cup. Sad!

Today should really be a national holiday

Lead story on ESPN, sure. But prominent placement on news sites, too. Hockey's biggest mainstream moment on this side of the border in a long time.

So there was this short story I read when I was a kid. Science fiction. It might have been one of the Haldeman brothers. Not sure which one. It might have been called Home Team Advantage. Anyway … the gist was Earth was playing a baseball game against some hostile alien race. The Arcturans, maybe…

Ron MacLean on Sportsnet: “Truly McDavid versus Goliath… and you know who had the slingshot.”

Team Canada keeps its best-on-best event win streak alive. Champs in: 2025 4 Nations 2016 World Cup of Hockey 2014 Sochi Olympics 2010 Vancouver Olympics

Once the US took the Trump call in the locker room, Canada was gonna win

Rewound the anthem so I could sing it again

🫡

TURN THAT SHIT ALL THE WAY UP 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

This little three-year-old is grown up now and I am old and weak, but I'm tempted to try one more ceiling lap.

ET LE BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT

AS CALLED ON: Canadian TV (English) Canadian TV (French) NHL Radio ESPN Deportes

Play the fucking anthem 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Annex that, bozos

McDavid gets his Maple Leaf moment. Incredible stuff.

ez game

Playoff Bucky???

my default setting is "root for Team USA in all circumstances because I love my country and its people even when I'm mad at our government" but I think I need to toggle that switch when our government is loudly using the sporting event as pro-annexation propaganda

Canada-Russia hockey final tonight, just like old times.

I hated America before it was cool

All we’re asking is that you treat the Republicans at least as harshly as a staffer who got a coffee order wrong.

they should play film scores at the spa. I wanna sauna to The Brutalist

Goaltending the difference. Binnington stiiiiiiiiinks

This is the most locked in I’ve been to a hockey game in a long long time

“Confrontation des 4 Nations” goes so much harder than “4 Nations Face-Off”

Canadian brands lining up to capitalize on patriotism 🫡

Oh man playing WITH McDavid feels great

Oh man playing AGAINST Hellebuyck does not feel good

What a time to be alive

The Jets should get Sidney Crosby. Do you think they’ve thought of that?

Terrible scene in Montreal, where as soon as the 3-on-3 overtime reached five minutes all the players got too tired to keep going. Fans are begging for a shootout but the players have brought out little cots and are curled up for naps. The NHL warned us this would happen. We should have listened.

Yet another update in the Alberta private health care scandal. Athana Mentzelopoulos has filed a 1.7 million dollar lawsuit today. Obviously some concerning stuff here but maybe the most was she was allegedly told to be potentially concerned about her personal safety.

Seeing a digital FanDuel ad on the boards during Canada-Sweden makes me want to physically vomit

I haven’t fully weaned myself off Twitter, but I’ve deleted Twitter off my phone and now only use it during office hours on my work computer. Not having it on my phone for big sports events is the only thing I miss

Gary Bettman stole a generation of international hockey away from us

I’m not saying they should be invited. But a best-on-best international hockey tournament without Russia lacks juice

Look what Gary Bettman stole from us

The structure and culture of Canadian hockey hurts development in many ways — but especially when it comes to goalies. Here’s @mirtle.bsky.social and I on Canada’s stark decline in a position it once dominated — and the reasons behind it. www.nytimes.com/athletic/612...
