jack hughes almost cost them the game with his stupid tripping penalty at the end, and then wins it in ot.

usa baby!

sorry canada, you are now the 51st state.

Cool, this means we get single payer healthcare. Hellebuyck is the real hero though, even though Hughes got the goal. He kept them in this.

USA, baby!

nyah bro, i'm not paying 50% of my income to the government so i can wait 12 months for an mri.  canadian healthcare is mythologized by the american left (not to say us healthcare system works well, it doesnt, but life is about tradeoffs, my communist friend).

hopefully we get tim hortons in the deal.

Damn, they brought Johnny Gaudreau's jersey on the ice for the gold medal win. That's a great gesture.

If you think Canadian healthcare has problems (true), wait until I tell you how horrible is Tim Horton’s.

Bringing up politics in a sports thread is....taboo. But my ex works at UM and sees many wealthy Canadians coming here for healthcare, out of pocket. The wait in Canada can be deadly. .

Now I get to go shovel the snow, bring my heartrate down. 😅😅

And I'm not going bankrupt because they gave me a Tylenol in the hospital and did an MRI. I'm also not wanting to pay $300 every paycheck for employer provided healthcare that is mid.

Anyways, I don't drink coffee, so Tim Hortons and Dunkin don't matter to me.

Love seeing Tom Wilson’s face in the silver medal line.

My phone died as the OT started but my fist pump knocked a glass of water into the guy next to me.

He wasn’t even upset.

My mom had a routine colonoscapy and her insurance provider tried charging her $2,500 because they said she was high risk. Of course she's high risk, her father had colon cancer, that's why she was in there for a preventative freaking screening. She fought it for a month and won thankfully. 

Anyways, great game, that was fun to watch.

I’m sure these little stuffed animals will be cherished forever by the Canadian players.

Waiting for Wilson to tell them to keep their ****ing bear and spike it on the ground.  

[lordstanley]

Needless to say Hellebuyck deserves the loudest of roars here.

I never realized what a large human being Tage Thompson is. Dude is tall.

There are Tim Hortons in Michigan. I've never been there...paying for an expensive cup of coffee never interested me.

Did the Finns get so hammered last night they couldn’t show up to get their bronze medals. 

[lordstanley]

Why are Cassie Campbell and Cheryl Pounder doing so much talking on this bloated 5-person CBC panel? Hard to listen to when it’s still only 830am my time.  After it was made a big deal that Pounder and Campbell were part of an all-woman 3-person panel for the women’s tournament.

Probably all got locked from the outside in the sauna and are blaming refs for that.
