MODERATORS
Yeah, let's bring this back to Olympic hockey.
What is it about exactly?
It's about defending your country's values.
For Canada, it's Freedom, Equality, Diversity.
For the US it's: Freedom - to rape kids, start wars for Israel, bully everyone, and eat fast food (boys only, sorry stupid girls)
Equality - 99% of your population is poor and stupid, while only 1% is rich and stupid.
Diversity - You have all sorts of white men, nazis, fascists, kkk, misogynists, average undereducated racists, etc.
But what do I know, I'm just your average University teacher who didn't even had to pay for is PHD in sound spatiliazation, speaks 3 language, and who's work has been presented around the world. Meanwhile, you're a uni-lingual white AMERICAN!
Please remind me about that 5 on 3 powerplay and ignore everything else. And CONGRATULATION for winning a single hockey game. Indeed it was the only game in the history of hockey that ever mattered.
Maybe it should have been about keeping the puck out of their net. It's beyond me why you keep trying to drag the conversation back to your soapboxing about shit that is not in any way related to your contention that Canada lost due to luck. That's the only discussion that's actually going to happen, anything outside of that will just be you shrieking into the void.
So what's supportable about "luck" being the reason Canada choked on their power play and repeatedly allowed more goals on fewer shots?
