Holy cow.
Talk about sour grapes.

Try a link more disposed to a Canadians point of view. That article made it seemed like you two country/teams have been acting like complete and total assholes for years and years.

Here you thought how nice it was that Canada and Russia could play a major international hockey game and have it just be about the game, free of geopolitical gobbledygook.

No one did a throat-slash gesture (that was us: Phil Esposito, 1972), kicked an opposing player (that was them), took out the other team's best forward (us again), started a bench-clearing brawl to get the other team kicked out of a tournament (them), or told the winning team it couldn't keep its championship trophy (ya, that was us).

It was just a sports event.
