Like for all of the first line or two, then they got drowned out by people singing along. And honestly it only sounded like a hundred or so were doing it. Boston folks stepped up.
We only had him for like a season and a half but I had a ton of fun not having to deal with him on the other side of the ice. I was super sad he wasn't there the next season when we won the first cup. Would have been EPIC getting him one.
Smyth legit helped get the Kings to the playoffs after a long drought and I'll always spread the good word of Ryan for many, many years to come because of it.
That was my beef with Canada in the first game. So much quality in the front of the net but like it was controlled so-to-speak. You gotta screen, toss some slop at angles, and hit the rebounds far side. Shake that shit up.
As a Kings fan, McDavid doing McDavid things depresses me.
As an American, watching your TV ads from SN streams makes me incredibly sad and it feels right y'all getting a proper win in the face of so much cultural/national nonsense.
Enjoy the game, everyone. I know the outcome I'm hoping for - a great game and a Canadian win. On paper, they've got a great goalie but Canada has the best scorers.

Canada looks pissed AF.
This is going to be spicy.

Getting booed across the board will do that.

I heard a lot of people singing O Canada. But then the USA chant started and it felt like any episode of Jerry Springer

I saw some Americans singing it too. r/mademesmile

Reddit sub references will be a hard habit to kick. Like hashtags ;)

I missed it. Did the US fans boo the Canadian anthem?

Yeah it was refreshing. I'm so over the cringe shit that this reality is.

Helle let in his one early goal. We might have to win 1-0
HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 1y
Canada wins!!!!!
Sketch@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y
Ugh, only US streams are coming in clear. Sigh. Canadian play by play is so much better on the average. Hopefully I can swap in a bit.

Huzzah! SN it is haha

Let's go 🇨🇦!

Damn. How you gonna leave McDavid wide open like that?
GG Canada
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 1y
Yeah right? Like how is just there in a perfect spot with no one anywhere near him?
Well it happened and it went as they should expect if they do that.

Crowd spread looks like when Edmonton comes into LA and I have to sit in the middle of Oils fans lol.
Glad to see y'all traveled en mass.

That play by Eichel was sick. US defensive game is top notch

Are the tkachuk brothers the real life bash brothers?
Sketch@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y
Tkachucks are tough MF's. Dad was too. But they got a long way to go to get this level...

My wife absolutely hates that clip/scene if for nothing more than I laugh loud AF every single time I watch it. Waking kids and neighbors alike haha.

I remember watching it in the theatre when it came out. It's aged like fine wine.

Following in dad's footsteps.

And that's how you beat a good goalie. You Ryan Smyth the shit out of em and set up a tent in front of the crease.

He is one of my favorite oilers of all time. I almost cried when he got traded. Dark day in Edmonton...
Sketch@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
That's how I felt with Quick getting traded.
Smyth legit helped get the Kings to the playoffs after a long drought and I'll always spread the good word of Ryan for many, many years to come because of it.

Canada's playing great in front of the net. Keep Helly blinded and we could win it all!

Yup. When everyone on the ice is top of the game players, messy goals often win.
Aceofspades@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 1y
Fuck yeah! McDavid with the winner!

Boston handled themselves like a million times better than I thought they would with that.
troyunrau@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 1y
I think they might have a better grasp of the situation there than in other places :/

That was a great game.

You guys can win if Doughty gets a goal. I'd be OK with that.
