LGW - Classless Anti-Canadian Xenophobia Is Our Specialty!

It wouldn't bother me nearly so much if you hypocrites didn't worship the ground Yzerman and Howe walk on. I don't exactly hold much weight in the AHL All-Star Game either but come on, people. Discrediting Canada's hockey legacy because of one WJC is moronic in the highest degree.

Please. A Canadian started this troll-fest. We're anti-troll and do it by poking him with a sharp stick. SOrry you feel buttsore abotu this, but tell Tane to STFU and get over it already.

Thats just because America's players are too good for the AHL. If Abby had been there we would have won by 3

Good Point. You're actually right. You got me. This time, there's a point even I can't dispute. so I guess with American players being too good for the AHL, as well as the Euro's as stated above, and Canada's 18-19 year olds being too good for the WJC, I guess it's a wash, and although it's nice when your country represents you well and pulls out a win, neither of these games really count too much in the realm of international hockey.

On a serious note, it was actually a really entertaining game, that Canada won in a shootout. There were no Wing Prospects there.

I just noticed in the Grand Rapids section we were streaming the Griffins games. I've never been able to watch AHL games. Closest I had was when the Vipers played on channel 38? 36? Rick Knickle, David Gorverde, Phil Bourque, Peter Ciavaglia, joe DAy, David Goverde.....Those were some of the names I remember.

all time Vipers Roster. Some names I forgot about, and some names I don't tihnk I ever knew about. Gerard Gallant, Shawn Burr, Tim Thomas, Miroslav Satan.

I remember Samsonov playing here to get used to the North American game, and I remember Pivonka and Bondra playing here during the Lockout.

CaN anybody deny those Jerseys? go ahead.......try it.

Actually I think you'll find an American started this bulls*** in the aftermath of the WJC, a thread in which you acted like a complete jackass in as well. I'm sorry your nation is so insecure about itself it finds the need to chest-pound over a junior-hockey win, then dismiss the AHL as insignificant just because you happened to lose (something Americans have been guilty of the last several WJCs as well, it should be noted. How conveniant). It's bad enough you're woefully ungraceful in both victory AND defeat, you then have the nerve to say you're anti-troll in doing so.

This is hilarious. In terms of this thread it was started by a Canadian who felt the need to pound his chest over an AHL All-Star victory. His nation must be pretty insecure then.

You think Canada doesn't pound it's chest when they win the juniors? You're delusional. I bet Canada just moves on right away after winning.

Right, because what a single Canadian says outweighs what every single American member of LGW has been ranting about non-stop since the WJC ended. Unless you're implying that Canada is SO sparsely-populated that one guy constitutes 'his nation'. If I'm delusional, you're delusional AND a proudly-xenophobic moron. Canada gets proud when they win the WJs, no doubt. I've never encountered such a sustained berating of other countries because of it, however. More than I can say about what you guys have been doing so far.

Every single American member of LGW? Could you be more dramatic? I'm not saying Canada is sparsely populated, but I am using your own words against you.

When did I say one xenophobic comment? Go ahead, point it out.

US hockey fans get proud when they win the juniors too. You just want to put a damper on that because you are upset Canada lost to the US. It's painfully obvious. This whole thread was brought on by your Canadian buddy and not one American said anything xenophobic. This so called continued berating is non-existent.

See, the thing that you're failing to get through your head is that a relatively even matchup is the key to a good rivalry. Think about it; it would definitely have been satisfying if the Wings beat the Avs every single time they met during the 90s, but it would have made for a terrible rivalry because it would be so one-sided. The result is some awesome, intense hockey, and the US-Canada matchups during the WJC rarely fail to disappoint in that regard. Because of that I for one am perfectly willing to acknowledge the US regardless of whether or not we happen to beat them; it's not like in the Olympics where Canada always feels the need to choke against Switzerland or Lichtenstein or whoever, I can count on both teams to bring their A-games against one another come the WJC. Obviously I can't speak for everyone in the country, but I can't help the fact that people are idiots. In contrast, the abundant message that comes across from the aforementioned WJC thread (given how immense that thread is, I'd contend that pointing the finger at every American member of LGW isn't nearly as much of a hyperbole you seem to think it is, by the way) and in this one is this mysteriously-generated notion that Canada's entire hockey legacy has been reduced to rubble on the back of one tournament win, which is completely ridiculous. But this of course applies to those who follow hockey in the first place; even more prevalent than that is the more general attitude of complete apathy when they lose because the US apparently couldn't give two s***s about hockey, then scream from the rafters when they win purely because they did.

tl;dr - being proud/disappointed in your team's performance should never be above acknowledging your opponent, it's the fundamental element of good sportsmanship. This applies to Tane too; I wasn't going to touch this thread with a ten-foot pole until the Americans started entering en-masse refusing to let this WJC stuff die.

quit your bitching you whiny little *****

a canadian started this thread... I seriously thought this was a joke haha. n then you have the nerve to come in here and act like we are the ones who are pounding our chest and we are insecure?... you win some, you lose some. i haven't seen any threads as embarassing or retarded as this when the us won the juniors

get over it... sorry the US beat you at the ONLY thing you can do better than the rest of the world. read the first post of this thread before you start talkin s*** to the respondents you ******* bum

You're still pretending that this thread is the other juniors thread that you seem so angry about. This thread does nothing in terms of bashing Canada or chest pounding about a US win. The only bashing and chest pounding was provided by Tane.

Dude, the "Americans" in this thread did nothing of the sort. It was the Canadians in this thread who started all the trash, just as you have. Quit trying to blame this on everyone who is not at fault.

It was a CANADIAN that could not let the juniors go and brought up this AHL All-Star game. Stop pretending otherwise. You claim sportsmanship and then go on to bash an entire country because of a few LGW posters.

Canada Beat the US and the rest of the world in the AHL All Star game 10-9.

It's just another feather in the cap of How far ahead Canada's development system is over USA's. Even with teh Help of the Rest of the World's best minor Pro hockey players, Canada Still beat them. World Junior's are yesterday's News, Canada's back on Top.

As a Canadian hockey fan, I hope other Canadian hockey fans are as embarrassed by this post as I am.
