If it wasn’t for two Canadian referees on the ice in the Fin-Can game making sure McKinnon lifting Mikkola’s stick and filming that it hit him in the face was passed and an offside that wasn’t called immediately before the game winning goal despite Finnish coach’s challenge, Canada wouldn’t have been playing in the final.
Anyway, thank you Canada for ice hockey.

I’m old enough to remember the sour grapes for Canada in Nagano 1998, they were so sour that there was even talk in Canada about how these games should be pre fixed show games to ensure the ”best” always get their gold, lol! Oh, it tasted so sweet.
I’m sure you wouldn’t have had any problem if there would’ve been two Finnish referees refereeing a crucial game between Fin-Can? In what other sport do you see this? That’s right. No other sport. It’s NHL trying to secure European nations don’t win too often.
And calling a super dubious penalty for Canada with only seconds left of the game, instead of the usual ”let’s play, no more calls” line usually held by referees in these final games would’ve been completely acceptable to you too? Not to mention that offside that wasn’t called despite the challenge.

Oh, 1998. Still living with that….ruined my life. Just wondering what’s your point in trolling on this thread. You must have misread the title. But please, be our guest and whine about irrelevant shit.
Just normal discussion about something current with a Canada connection, isn’t it?
And I did write:
”Anyway, thank you Canada for ice hockey.” Which is appreciation.
While you’re trolling about cheese and shit…

Pardon the pun, but Who's got their Guess Who tickets? I just bought tickets for me and the Mrs. I can't wait to see one of the greatest bands.
I've seen Randy by himself playing hits from both the Guess Who days and from BTO with a band and orchestra. I've seen Burton as a solo act with a back-up band, playing hits from GW and his solo career (which was also pretty good back in the day). And I recently saw BTO play (along with April Wine and the Headpins - great line-up). But I've never seen Randy and Burton together, so might have to see if they are close so I can see them.
