  1. "Well sure, I went to shake hands with the chancellor, partied with his head goon, ate at his mansion with his underlings, and attended one of his rallies where I was used for propaganda, but I swear, I know NOTHING about his plans for czechoslovakia."

  2. "I don't realize the full effect it makes on everything" + "I didn't realize all the stuff that was going on" Are we really supposed to buy this BS?! ffs…

  3. Libs in the country are histrionic. It's not the players fault. Everyone knows how arragant aand insulting certain Canadians would have been if Canada had won

  4. Obviously as a Canadian I was disappointed in the final result…. and MacKinnon missing the wide open net is something I can’t wrap my head around why he missed…but he did and we went on to lose ….its not the USA’s fault that he missed and that’s just the nature of hockey ..close calls, weird bounces etc etc…. I finally settled down and accepted it… hopefully we get it done next time. Congrats to team USA !!!

  5. The only "backlash" is from weasel liberal journalists and far-left lunatics that live terminally online. There's no backlash from any normal, everyday Americans.

  6. Stop bringing politics into sports, please and thank you. Be proud of your gold medals boys. You earned it. Now let's get back to some Sens hockey and finish the season strong.

  7. Don’t listen to these whack jobs. Believe it or not there is people that have a life and don’t think about politics 24/7

  8. I have two daughters and one granddaughter. If I was an Olympian I would never go to the White House and yuck it up with a child trafficker. A President who put masked thugs on the streets and kills people. But that’s just me. I wonder if the President put up an image of PK Subban depicted as a monkey instead of Michelle and Barack Obama the Team USA would have said to Trump…nah.

  9. Yeah… how was your cold soggy Happy Meal?
    And was it worth it just to be a political tool for a narcissist?

  10. Trump took a vote, in a room full of heroes, and made them agree to give only one of them The Presidential Medal of Freedom. Not a single squeak from any of them. The girls, and their proxies, need to stfu! Trump is not afraid to offend. That's how he became TRUMP!

  11. Unfortunately most of these players are no different than the asskissers in the Republican Party that surround Trump.

    Would have been fine for them to go but hold the line, politely, on Trumps BS. His line about just being a hockey player is a total fudging cop out. Should have kept his mouth shut.
