Some sports are rivalry generations. The other is about a Dalit fight or national pride.
On Thursday, both Canadian hockey victory in the United States was a little. Annexing Canada was riding on the game, much symbolically, against the background of the taunts by President Trump against the background of taunts and 25 percent on Canadian accessories.

Canada’s coach, John Cooper said, “Canada needed a win, and the players affected their shoulders.” “It was a different. It was not a win for itself. It was a win for 40-plus million people. People knew this and they distributed. ,
The game shut down a round-robin tournament facing 4 nations between Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States. This was the first international tournament after the 2016 World Cup hockey, which included some best players in the National Hockey League to represent their countries.
The championship on Thursday scored unfamiliar geographical results for Canadian sports fans. After losing to the first round match of Canada, it was the responsibility to prove the urgency and the world to prove something very important for the world.
Instead of normal electric expectations before the sports match between Canada and the United States, the buildup of this championship created bitterness. Social media was humiliating with insults in both directions. My group chat plotted how many Canadian flags would adequately humiliate a sports bar. Bygone was fickle pregem stakes among world leaders.
Despite being an immoral sports watcher, the tone felt abnormally familiar. Intensity reminded me of hostile football rivalry between Albania, my family’s country and Serbia. The two countries have a political relationship and are involved in wars against each other.
On the other hand, Canada and the United States, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau commented in recent weeks, fought as close colleagues with each other who share unique friendships on the global stage. Certainly, before the threats of Annexation of Shri Trump.
“You can’t take our country-and you can’t take our game,” Mr. Trudeau wrote in a post on X after the nail-biting victory.
On Thursday, Shree Trump began with a needle that Canada was “under the leadership of” someday, perhaps, our funded, and very important, fifty first state “” under the leadership of Governor Trudeau.

Typically, Canadian matches against the United States are about the domination and pride of the game, equally in the women’s hockey league and in football and basketball, a Canadian musician and 13 book author Dave Bidini, a Canadian musician and a writer of 13 books about hockey Said. He is changing.
“This geophysical climate adds a completely new depth, I think, in this type of sports and perhaps for the next four years,” Mr. Bidini told me. The last time he recalled political tension during an international hockey incident, during a match between Canada and Soviet Union in 1972. Canada scored a winning goal with 34 seconds. As a child, Mr. Bidini feared that the Soviet Union would consume its country if the team lost.
“Looking back, I think it was so absurd,” Mr. Bidini told me before the game on Thursday. “But it was the climate of time, and tonight is the closest that it has come for Mirroring.”
“I hope Canada wins because I think it will calm the noise a little,” he said, referring to the dangers of Mr. Trump.
For other noise, there were hoarse in sports-playing places across Canada. In a packed sports bar at East East of Toronto, fans around me provoked the United States. They burst into Jubilee after the first two goals of Canada by Nathan McCinone and Sam Bennett, and in enthusiastic cheers after three impressive savings by goalkeeper Jordan Binington. The audience broke the raga of “Seven Nation Army” by White Strips more than once. Pizza pizza, a Canadian fast-food franchise, put advertisements during the game for 25 percent “reverse tariff” discount on pizza.
Connor McDwid, who played with fellow National Treasure Sydney Crossbie, scored a win in overtime.
Then came the finale: the national anthem.
Matthew Roberts, an audience who was not sitting away from me, excluded the first words of “O Canada”. Others quickly joined.
“I sang ‘O Canada’, as much as I was loud to achieve the crowd,” said Mr. Roberts.
As the encouraging fans filed out of the bar, Mr. Roberts told me that he is not generally the most patriotic or invested sports fan, but the atmosphere that night called it for it.
