Canada Wins 3-2!! - Friday!
Yo, what is good?! Canada beats the US in overtime, 3-2! What an amazing game! Hope you guys enjoy the day, man. Good morning! It’s Friday! Did you guys watch it? I got to see it with my kid yesterday. We kept him up – or he wanted to stay up, actually. It was funny because my kid was like, “I just want to watch the fights,” and there were no fights. He was heavily disappointed at the lack of freaking ruckus last night.
But yo, man, honestly, I don’t know how you go from that to watching regular hockey again for like the next little while. And what’s going on with these players? These guys just had an All-Star break, everyone else gets 10 days off or whatever it was, and these guys are playing, probably tired as hell. Man, they probably had practices, they probably had this game. Nuts.
It was fun, though. A game that really means nothing in the grand scheme of like hockey accolades meant so much. Like, it was an exhibition, international, really. It was more or less a friendly, although they did, you know, it’s a tournament of sorts. But this is like a precursor to the Olympics where the NHL players are going to be playing again next year, and I’m super excited about that now. But how do you get excited for like regular NHL after that? I’m sure this broke ratings and is going to be doing more numbers than the Stanley Cup even, but I don’t know, hope the NHL can figure that out.
Bennington, man, Jordan Bennington – hopefully, I’m saying his name right – freaking nasty! Nasty saves in the in overtime. And then, obviously, McDavid, Captain McDavid, with the finisher. It’s funny because one of my friends was chirping Marner and McDavid before that, saying these guys are a waste, just keep them on the bench. And then look what happens! Amazing.
But if it wasn’t for Trump, would any of this even mattered? Would we cared as much if it wasn’t for this whole 51st state thing? Justin Trudeau obviously comes up with a freaking stellar quip: “You’re never going to take over our country, and you’re never going to take over our game.” Loved it!
This is dope, man. It made me happy. I don’t watch much hockey, I don’t watch much live sports to be honest. I watch football here and there, but once your teams are eliminated, you’re like, give me something to watch for. Give me a rivalry, give me a story. That’s what I want. I want a storyline, and that’s what this whole thing gave us. It gave us a beautiful little storyline that we capped off with the win. This video would have been a lot different if we lost, so whatever, take the dub. Did it in Boston. Boston crowd was awesome. I don’t know, everything about this whole thing was magical. It was a moment.
And again, like I said, probably nothing in the long grand scheme of things. Not an Olympic gold medal, not a World Cup of Hockey medal, a tournament that even the announcers were like, well, this might be the only team that wins this tournament because they might never have this tournament again, which kind of sounds lame. Like, now they—I feel like they need this tournament every year, every other year or something, because it was fun, it was amazing. I love it. Anyways, man, I hope you guys are having a dope ass Friday. Till the next one, peace!
