I can't fathom caring this much about a sport. Nor can I imagine displacing so much emotion onto it. I can't believe I wasted so many years of my precious life in that hellish post-national economic zone.
In response to my fellow Canuckistani's, I have only one thing to say.

It wasn't like it was a bad game either, but much like with the Jays losing the World Series last year, a bunch of insufferable dipshits are going to make it all about how we "lost to those Nazi fucks in Amerikkka", so watching the seethe is amusing
It's honestly not that deep - people (read - dipshits) wanted to use this game as a way to own the Orange Man. And much like the World Series, it makes it very funny that we came up short at the very end, despite it not being a bad game.I don't know, I might be weird since I only care about the Oilers, but people hanging their hopes on a hockey game are strange to me.
I feel like under normal circumstances, an American win wouldn't even be treated that badly by most Canadians. America and Canada had somewhat of a friendly rivalry going on for many years. What makes this particular game hold more weight than usual is that America and Canada are politically hostile to one another. So it no longer feels like a friendly if intense game of hockey but more like "Fuck you and fuck your country" materialized into a hockey game.It's honestly not that deep - people (read - dipshits) wanted to use this game as a way to own the Orange Man.

I imagine it like a big bro seeing his mentally handicapped cousin with a helmet draped in maple leaves getting mad and going "What's wrong little guy?"Americans don't care lol, this is the most one sided feud in existence

Trusting anything online or applying things seen in the virtual world to the waking world is a folly.Online response says otherwise

Hockey is a Canadian/British sport technically since its inspired by field hockey and first played in Quebec. Elbows up is what you do when you start a fight in hockeyWhy do Canadians say "Elbows up"? As I understand, it's a reference to hockey, an American sport (although of course a minor one).
It's an old fujoshi reference. Basically, when two hot hockey guys are about to fight and act all sexy, they'll put their elbows up to maximize damage and romance, so it became a central plot point in a lot of hockey-based yaoi fanfic.Why do Canadians say "Elbows up"? As I understand, it's a reference to hockey, an American sport (although of course a minor one).
basically in hockey collisions between players happen regularly, and elbows up means to point your elbow at another player to cause injury to them during the collision. That hurts like hell and usually serves to get your ass beat.Why do Canadians say "Elbows up"? As I understand, it's a reference to hockey, an American sport (although of course a minor one).
