Not only that but some (keyword: "some") Americans themselves get all bitter and scornful when another country (but especially Canada for some reason) is more often than not their superior in a sport, but especially so in a high-profile sport such as hockey.


But again, I can only speak for myself. I'm happy when the game is played well no matter who is doing the playing. Whether it's the Russians who win gold or the USA or whomever, they will have earned it, you can bet on that.
