You know, go ahead and view the tape of that game, and report back to us on how many Canadian hockey players you see waving their fingers in the air counting how many goals they have, or break into a choreographed celebration.

I’m not one to blow much of a gasket one way or another here but as other people have said, it’s about the celebrations not the score running. Obviously in, say, hockey Canada plays a lot of countries with less developed programs and the score gets run up but its fair to say that there is at least something in the…

They don’t have a problem with the scoring of the goals, they’re talking about the celebrations thereof.

We should pelt them with batteries and beer bottles, like the proud long standing traditions that Americans uphold...

Up 8-0 and doing cartwheels on the sideline. If your whole career prides on the fact that you scored a finally scored a WC goal against an amateur team, congratulations.

You do realize that is not what the panel was criticizing. Their comments were about the celebrations, not the score.

It wasn’t the dunking, it was the celebrating later goals like they were major goals.

While I agree that the commentary was a little dramatic from the Canadian Broadcast Team, the USWNT celebrations were a bit much, They are the dominate force in the game and should display a little more class than that especially when playing against a far inferior team that was just happy to be there for the first…

“The ethno-demographics of the game are changing but hockey is ultimately moving more towards being a sport for the rich and wealthy.”

It has been a white sport because traditionally, it’s been played by Nordic countries (Russia, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, etc) which are predominately white nations. It’s also a stupid expensive sport to play (in Canada which is the cheapest place in the world to play hockey, at top levels, you are…

I now know better than to accept someone’s birthday party invitation to a restaurant because of this. Chances are, you’re all splitting that bill at the end of the night and people order wine and appetizers with reckless abandon and no consideration for the members of the party who don’t have disposable incomes.
