That was awesome!
This Four Nations Cup game felt like there was a lot riding on it. I haven’t been this amped for a Canada game since the 2010 Olympics. Our boys battled hard. Binnington made some exciting clutch saves. Mackinnon and Makar were great. That goal by Connor McDavid was a beauty and sent the house parties and bars across the country (including our contingent at the Pinawa Club) into a roaring celebration.
It’s a confidence boost for Canada. There is no doubt, the geopolitical situation with the States is making people anxious here. The USA has lost its way is now bullying its friends. There are those up here to that have been aping American style rhetoric and politics willing to sell us out. I, for one, do not want to be part of the American gong show. No, thanks.
We are the True North Strong and Free! There are a lot of challenges ahead, but I believe there is an opportunity for Canada to grow and assert a greater independence. They want to belittle us, insult us, intimidate us, and have us submit. Screw that! We’re going to stick together, focus on what unites us, and work hard for each other and for Canada.
Let’s go Canada! Leave a comment below about how you celebrated!
