>>153646037Cuckada
>>153646037Nobody else plays hockey its a joke sport for gay retards
>>153648023>*paints face>*crosses eyes*>*stomps feet*HO CHA CHA BAKA BAKA>*drinks petrol*>*screams at top of lungs*
>>153646037This is only the 3rd time they won it. So to answer your question, they're not.
>>153646037>How is USA so dominant in hockey?you've always been good haven't you? I am not a big hockey guy but I remember watching nhl in the 90s and you guys were beasts
There are like three countries that compete seriously
>>153646037We invented it
>>153646037Bald
>>153650827Silver
>>153648023It's the only sport that isn't gay
We have more manlet jeets than any other nation and they’re b b b b beast of athletes
>>153650903>jerseys are called "sweaters"sry gay
>>153650903Isn’t there a tv show about a gay hockey romance? That would never happen in truly masculine (ie: Black) sports like American football or basketball. Not that I have a problem with gay folk
>>153650913real shit>>153651055yeah but there has been plenty of gay movies with black actors too like that moonfall movie which won the oscars
It really comes down to if you have a strong, good nation, which America is despite evil doers like the Dems. Canada being so overrun with poop colored invaders, all the years of Trudeau really ate away at the core of the Canadian spirit. Canada has nothing to fight for, as their country has been given away, and they did nothing to stop it. they are a weak nation who was dominated by the USA and the Canadian's performance in the Gold Medal game was a direct reflection of their lack of a backboneI just hope in 2030 Russia returns so it can be a true face off of world powers America vs Russia. Maybe Canada will work hard and get a bronze!
>>153646037Austin butthews is actually quite shite at the hockeyBut to answer your question, we have more money to throw into our league and developing you around the Great Lakes. Canada used to be the peak of hockey development(on top of it being their national sport) but the collapse of the looney and general infrastructure(hockey Canada knuckle dragging and corruption) has either priced young leafs out of the game or has them lose interest. I think basketball has overtaken as the preferred sport amongst zoomers up there
>>153651235Also Quebec used to be a FACTORY for elite player development but I guess something happened
>>153650913indianisation of the nation
>>153648023This coconut is right.
>>153651235He's elite actually
>>153651281Leaf media is already starting trying to run him out of town.
>>153651286they did it to gretzky, and he was even Canadian, a home grown boy.
>>153651321He's a chud we don't want him
>>153651354the absolute state of Canada: hockey is life so much that even normie Canadians and fecaloid invaders in Canada are seething at their hilarious massive loss to TEAM USA, yet will reject the superior American players like Hellebuyck and Matthews from their NHL teams.
>>153651055Did you not hear about Remember the Titans. Football and basketball are filled with black gays
>>153651055Micheal Sam, Dwight Howard. The two biggest faggots to ever live on Earth. If you can't tell football and basketball are way gayer than hockey you are probably a fag yourself
>>153651505>The two biggest faggots to ever live on Earth
>>153651453What's that got to do with dwayne chudsky
>>153651505Michael Sam never played a single snap in the NFL. Dwight Howard has five kids with five different women, so he’s had straight sex at least five more times than you have
>>153651453Mathews is playing like complete cheeks on the leafs
>>153651531the reply to the leaf saying Canadian media is trying to run Matthews out of town not Wayne Gretzky. Which reminds me I gotta play Some Wayne Gretzky Hockey '98 on my n64
>>153651505The fact that Michael Sam only ever played in the CFL is hilarious to me.
>>153646037>As of early 2026, the United States has a population over 8 times larger than CanadaI'm proud of our team but we have a much larger pool of potential players. Hard advantage to ignore
>>153651568Trying to defend black fags. USA is truly the blacked jew nation
>>153646037
>>153646037canada poo 2 loo
>>153648023>new zealandHa
>>153651254>holding hands with a buddy
>>153651592canadian teams can't play hockey
>>153652201didnt the jets win the presidents trophy last year?and the oilers went to the finals 2 years in a row
>>153651286Yeah, I completely lost faith in this shithole organization when Phil Kessel was run out of town and instantly won back-to-back cups as a key contributor
>>153651993this is true. all the dudes on the ice at OT were Michiganders. and all from the Detroit metro. hopefully Michigan gets more based as its the only midwestern state that isn't either a complete shit hole or overran with Somali or leftists
>>153648040Destroyed that freak
>>153651248We're broke as fuck and hockey is very expensive as you grow and need to keep buying new equipment. Inflation, like everything else, targets whites and rewards browns via free welfare gibs
>>153648040lmao cooked that faggot
>>153646037Americans are just built different, better.
This gold medal is overdue. Americans probably could have won gold in 2018 or 2022 but they supported the NHL greedy owners who block players from attending the winter Olympics
>>153646037New England and New York combined have a population roughly equal to all of Canada. Now add Michigan and Minnesota and there already is a gap. Yet the US obviously also has ice hockey players and fans outside these regions. Although it could be more, it is growing at least. The US has more ice hockey players in total now, recently overtaking Canada. But Canada has more rinks, I think. The next-largest country in terms of active ice hockey players has like a fifth of these two, so the dominance is obviousThe share of Canadians in the NHL is at 40%, Americans are at 28%. Canada's share has been decreasing for ages, the American share has increased for ages. Canada was at 80% 40 years ago. Who knows, maybe the US will overtake them in 20 years? If that happens and the gap in total players increases, there would be no coming back for Canada, I'm afraid. Canadians already seem to struggle with keeping ice hockey a people's sport because of rising costs
>>153656810I forgot to say that the NHL has been thoroughly turned against Canada. It was a Canadian league at first, but now 25/32 teams are in the US and there hasn't been a Canadian in charge of the league since the 70s. The next expansion would probably only add American teams as well. The capital behind the league is mostly from the US as well, of course. Canada is only a back marker in the minds of the league's bosses - tragically precisely because of Canadians liking the sport, I suppose. They like it already, they will watch. That makes them uninteresting to these people who want to conquer new markets - in the US, obviously. It's retarded in many ways, but it was kind of foreseeable. Allowing Americans in meant allowing them to seize control of the league eventually. That doesn't really help Canada's position regarding the sport now
>>153656810Dude our entire country's gonna look like fucking Mumbai in 20 years. We have bigger problems than worrying about getting Olympic golds
>>153656864Is it not kind of connected? What is your government spending money on? And how are Indians supposed to play ice hockey? Your government seems to be working directly against any form of success on a national scale, they are willing to tank everything for the masses (and the middle class is where the majority of athletes comes from) so that a select few can profit in the form of cheap workforce and so on. Even if it costs you your identityWe are in the same boat anyway
>>153656856>Canada is only a back marker in the minds of the league's bossesThat's because Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa are arguably the least "sexy" markets in North American pro sports. That's 4 out of the 7 Canadian teams in places that the casual viewer outside of Canada is not going to give a shit about, if they can even find them on a map. There are other issues too, but that's the biggest one.
