Recommended Posts

yeah and those shows have intelligence written all over them...

no one wonder you don't like hockey, not smart enough to keep up with it.

Hold on now, not smart enough to keep up with hockey?

Surely you jest.

That has to be the worst 'don't feed the troll' image, ever.

MSPaint FTW?

I am so sad I missed the game. Was with a ex working things out and was on a walk and heard screams and chants everywhere around me. I was not in toronto at the time so it seems everywhere at that moment everyone lept put of their seats and cheered. Heading back on a via rail train back to toronto now I bet the streets are still packed with people.

Im trying to recall the last time i ran out of my house yelling "**** ( insert country name here)" after the US won a gold medal. Thats just pretty sad to see a host country get caught doing that.

:no:

Some people seem to think this happened after Canada won the gold medal game.

Look at the date it was posted. This happened way before the game today.

:no:

Thats a pretty big bunch of douchebags..

you know that video was done before the game right? and you are actually taking the example of what a few people did to represent an entire country? really, this coming from an american who's country's entire image was tarnished by ONE man...

Way to handle it with class, Canada

Above link has NSFW language

In our defense, these people were most likely drunk and it was just after we LOST to Team USA on the 22nd. Take a look at the date the clip was posted. Not saying that makes it right, but perhaps a bit less distateful than if it were to have happened today.

im just saying... but if you're girl is making you miss the biggest hockey game in recent memory, she's not worth keeping...

Oh you're right. Haha, didn't even notice that.

And didn't a major news network in the US make fun of Canada one time?

Remember the massive scale of the riots after the Lakers won the first of their three-peat championships. I don't remember ever thinking those rioters were representative of the city. It's going take alot more than a group of drunk douchebags to ruin my mood.

Like it wasn't enough Crosby against Miller tomorrow night, way to go Crosby :p.

Just a thought here about the Russian, they were one of the favorite in this tournament, I hope they got their lesson... (team play) I was really disappointed by this team. And god I hate this player Kovalchuk hopefully this guy will go in the KHL next Year asking for money if it's money you want then go away learn how to play as a team! selfish player.

Yeah, 26.5 million people. For a country that's usually quiet and not really patriotic - until the last few weeks anyway - this is outstanding. :p

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
