I haven't watched the Olympics in the forty-six years since the US hockey team beat the Ruskies (and someone else in the final, as I recall), but this is very satisfying

BREAKING: Men's USA Hockey Beats Canada in OT for Olympic GOLD!!! USA! USA! USA!

“Satisfying” because of this series of Tweets posted by Canadian hockey fans yesterday:

Poor Canada: Betting Their Entire Country's Worth on Beating the 'Hated' USA. Spoiler: We Don't Care

Tomorrow at approximately 8:00 am Eastern Time, the male American ice hockey team will take on Canada in the gold medal game at the Winter Olympics. Canada is apparently basing the hope of the survival of their country on this game, and they want Americans to know we are the underdogs and the world hates us. Pish, posh ... when did Americans ever care about that. 

Update

More Schadenfreude: Toronto Star’s coverage this morning:

‘One of the worst moments of my life:’ Canadian fans mourn gold medal hockey loss

Prime Minister Mark Carney was also up in hopes of watching Team Canada strike gold. 

Carney, wearing the jersey he was gifted earlier this year by the women’s national team with his surname on the back, was cheering on the Canadian men Sunday in Chelsea, Que., which is just northwest of the Ottawa-Gatineau area.

“Congratulations on a hard-fought and well-earned silver, @TeamCanada,” Carney wrote in an X post after the game. “You made your country proud.”

Hahahahaha!

(Another) Update:

U.S. - After defeating Canada at the only thing it was supposedly good at, the entire territory of Canada has been officially declared an American province.

"And to be clear, you're just a province. Being a state is for winners," announced President Trump. "We took you over and all we lost were a few teeth. This is is so embarrassing for you."

At publishing time, Canada had admitted defeat and euthanized the national hockey team.

And the hits keep coming:
