For those who care, Canada beat the USA in the 4 Nations hockey tournament, in overtime.

A great day for Canada, therefore the entire the Commonwealth and largely the world.

I shall proudly wear my Canadian hockey cap, t-shirt and puffer vest this weekend. Seriously I have the collection. (Saved from the skip a few years ago). 🇨🇦

I sorta do and don't. I didn't know the event was on and this news doesn't change my day in any way.

But if I were asked who I'd prefer to win in a(ny) sporting contest between Canada and USA, I'm picking Canada!

It was kind of like an all-star tournament with USA, Canada, Finland and Sweden sending their best. It's been a long time since professional hockey players competed in the Olympics, so this was a bit of a trial run before the next winter games.

Mate i dont much care who beats them I'm happy to watch america get their asses kicked all the live long day. Always an added bonus if its the "snow aussies" (I recently heard them called that) take a win as well.

The game was closer than I'd liked, and to be fair, the US team is absolutely stacked. Next Olympics are going to be fun as heck.
