AO makes a Canadian Dollar at Worlds

AO chipped out the Loonie that was buried in the ice at the World Championships.

I'm not sure how I feel about it.

The Russians passing it around and kissing it is a bold statement. Kinda like people f'ing with the octopus.

Some might says it's bad sportsmanship.

Wow. I found that kinda hilarious. But when people F with octopus that basically jinxes them... So wouldn't you say its a good thing he did that if you're a Canadian fan?

So what you're saying is...Canadians are allowed to f*** with the ice surface by placing a loonie in it, but Russians cannot combat this by chipping the good luck charm out of the ice?

I love the 'it's a tradition, dammit' attitude. Yeah...it's a tradition because it happened before?

I guess catfish and beef being thrown on the ice are tradition too? They're about as old as burying a coin for good luck.

I wasn't referring to messing with the ice. I don't give a damn about that. I was referring more to the drastic show of disrespect.

I guess I'm just old fashioned and like the idea of respecting your opponents. Taking it out of the ice was alright I guess, but planting the flag was a little....theatrical.

Sort of like the display that Don Cherry puts on each and every week?

Exactly. Don Cherry is a joke. I can't believe he was voted one of the greatest Canadians. I guess that just shows the lack of history and accomplishments of Canadians. :P

Canadians put a coin under the ice of the American ice rink.

Russians when on Canadian ice and take the coin out and replace it with a flag.

If the Canadian team was pissed about that, they need to grow a pair. It's a frickin coin for gosh sakes. If you place that much weight on your team winning, you need to find better players.
