Canada looks pissed AF.

This is going to be spicy.

I heard a lot of people singing O Canada. But then the USA chant started and it felt like any episode of Jerry Springer

I saw some Americans singing it too. r/mademesmile

Reddit sub references will be a hard habit to kick. Like hashtags ;)

Like for all of the first line or two, then they got drowned out by people singing along. And honestly it only sounded like a hundred or so were doing it. Boston folks stepped up.

Yeah it was refreshing. I'm so over the cringe shit that this reality is.

Helle let in his one early goal. We might have to win 1-0

And that's how you beat a good goalie. You Ryan Smyth the shit out of em and set up a tent in front of the crease.

We only had him for like a season and a half but I had a ton of fun not having to deal with him on the other side of the ice. I was super sad he wasn't there the next season when we won the first cup. Would have been EPIC getting him one.

He is one of my favorite oilers of all time. I almost cried when he got traded. Dark day in Edmonton...

That's how I felt with Quick getting traded.

Smyth legit helped get the Kings to the playoffs after a long drought and I'll always spread the good word of Ryan for many, many years to come because of it.

Ugh, only US streams are coming in clear. Sigh. Canadian play by play is so much better on the average. Hopefully I can swap in a bit.

My wife absolutely hates that clip/scene if for nothing more than I laugh loud AF every single time I watch it. Waking kids and neighbors alike haha.

Yeah right? Like how is just there in a perfect spot with no one anywhere near him?

Well it happened and it went as they should expect if they do that.

Crowd spread looks like when Edmonton comes into LA and I have to sit in the middle of Oils fans lol.

Glad to see y'all traveled en mass.

Canada's playing great in front of the net. Keep Helly blinded and we could win it all!

That was my beef with Canada in the first game. So much quality in the front of the net but like it was controlled so-to-speak. You gotta screen, toss some slop at angles, and hit the rebounds far side. Shake that shit up.

That was a great game.

As a Kings fan, McDavid doing McDavid things depresses me.

As an American, watching your TV ads from SN streams makes me incredibly sad and it feels right y'all getting a proper win in the face of so much cultural/national nonsense.

But for real, anyone but McDavid. Thanks

Chantel Kreviazuk has a hard task today.

Boston handled themselves like a million times better than I thought they would with that.

I think they might have a better grasp of the situation there than in other places :/

Enjoy the game, everyone. I know the outcome I'm hoping for - a great game and a Canadian win. On paper, they've got a great goalie but Canada has the best scorers.

4

You guys can win if Doughty gets a goal. I'd be OK with that.

Ita going to be hard to go from this, to like, regular season game number 55 or whatever. Sigh

I mean, they gotta call something or this shit is gonna get someone hurt.

I think I'd be willing to pay to watch the ref cam feed all game.
