CANADA BEATS USA!!! Now what happens?

Team USA made a team specifically to beat Canada. They didn't. Now what. Also damn, someone tell Phil Kessel to chill!

[@theguyishere16]

You know what else is disrespectful? Not naming Phil Kessel to the team, who by the way, is a Stanley Cup Champion.

[@Flaris]

If any players were offended by Kessel's tweet. Too damn bad. Guess Team USA was built with a lot of grit and toughness, but weren't tough enough to shrug that comment off. And its hilarious which players spoke up about this. All guys Kessel should have been on that team instead of. If the US was picking a skilled team to actually try and win then none of those guys are on the roster. A lot of guys ripped into Team USA. Former players, other current players like Bobby Ryan. But it's Kessel who is targeted by the guys who got eliminated. Despite his tweet being less targeted than most. I think those guys are the ones that need to chill.

[@nicholaserkelenz6431]

ethered ever sore team us loser

[@VMMMCXV]

FlareKnight BLACKSTAR HEY!

[@jennifere.259]

Kessel's tweet was my favourite part of the night, after Canada's win. LOL

[@jennifere.259]

P.S. NO, NO feeling sorry for Torts. Guy's a scumbag.

[@TopFiveGlobalYS]

Team USA is basically the 2014 Canucks - Torts is mad - They're losing - Schneider could be involved but for some reason isn't

[@Gabriel-ic3sr]

Too soon man, too soon

[@nexushockeyHD]

lmao

[@declanmoore5959]

Lol to bad ryan kesler slept with cory's wife XD

[@Surl9596]

W

[@Randomizer903]

even as a Canucks fan, i can't help but chuckle at that.

[@BobbyT.]

Wasn't Kessel saying, "Couldn't put my finger on it." Because he had surgery in his finger, which officially ruled him out of the World Cup of Hockey.

[@JeffblinkHardy]

No

[@trolman777]

when he said he felt like he should have been doing something important he meant eating.

[@TopFiveGlobalYS]

Can everyone just calm down? Team USA is tanking for picks

[@davidbaird2211]

I think that what rubs people the wrong way about Kessel is that he has a healthy sense of perspective. Dude is a cancer survivor. Dude is lucky to be playing the game he loves for money. So instead of being a GOOD CANADIAN KID DONCHAYNO, he has fun with it. He doesn't take it too seriously, because it's a game. Hockey fans in general have a severe case of Wes Welker Syndrome. I attribute this, at least in America, to hockey's relative lack of popularity compared to football and basketball. Whenever Jonathan Toews doesn't say "I" or "me" and LeBron James does, hockey fans absolutely cream themselves. So to see a hockey player who just coasts and enjoys himself, instead of being a hard-working gritty guy (yanno, like Tanner Glass!), pisses people off. It undermines their idea of hockey as a sport of muckers and grinders who aren't as *entitled* or *gifted* as those people in the NFL and NBA. So go Phil Kessel. Continue making it look so easy people will suspect you aren't Hard Working. Continue winning now that you finally have a coach who knows how to use you. And above all - enjoy it.

[@MrBO55]

Canada vs North America would be great

[@ss-we7hm]

THE BO55 IS.BACK

[@SRehill7]

Finland pls

[@andrewsheehy4998]

It sure would be awesome.

[@discodesanti2459]

You know I was thinking the same thing, might hurt his chances in the future. But the time to put him on the team was now. Not getting any younger. They desperately needed goals and left off too many scorers. End of story.

[@Flaris]

I honestly doubt it does. If the guys picking the team now are the same guys picking it for the Olympics (if they go) or future international events then they wouldn't too much skill anyways. If they aren't, then the ones he was poking fun at with that tweet aren't going to make the decision if he's there or not. And yeah it probably doesn't matter. This was the prime time to put him on the team and go for it. If he doesn't get picked going forward, the impact isn't going to be that severe.

[@shedboy4lyf]

I think the chant the Swedes were doing is actually an Icelandic football/soccer chant. Could be wrong, but it seems very similar. Anyway, was a good game. Happy to se Canada win and Torts lose.

[@herald0fmanwe]

This is correct, it was an Icelandic soccer chant that became popular in many European countries after Iceland's fans did it after games at the European Championship this summer.

[@shedboy4lyf]

herald0fmanwe Yeah, I sort of remember watching it, but didn't know if this was just similar. That's why I wasn't like, "The Swedes steal!!!!" or whatever haha

[@Deevy8_]

+herald0fmanwe It's been around for longer than that

[@joelstevens2697]

It's been around much longer since the Iceland Soccer team kind of made it famous to everyone. All the hardcore footy fans got really pissed at people when other teams started "stealing" it. Believe it started on a small town soccer team in England a while back.

[@generalzod8284]

Yeah the Icelandic fans were doing it at the euros but it was waaaaay better

[@sam93931]

drinking his cup of wine lololol steve you're so funny and a brilliant analyst! You're so entertaining that I'm following you without even being a toronto fan O.o

[@casteri]

The Swedish chant thing was actually started by Celtic in the Scottish Premier League for one of the Icelandic players on their team (because vikings), but it was made famous this summer in Euro 2016 (European international football/soccer tournament) by the Icelandic people against England where the brought down the not so great English team (with a terrible coach) 2-1. Fun fact, more than 90% of Icelandic television sets were tuned into that match.

[@cjfraser2554]

The way you said "we won't get into it" regarding Bergeron putting them up 4-1 omg

[@larshader9265]

Steve was prophetic when be said Backes contract would not age well.

[@SeventyOne4L]

The same day Phil Kessel said no one can say anything cause he's a Stanley Cup champion and you can't take it away. He can do whatever he wants tbh I mean idk why it's such a surprised because that's what everyone was saying for the past 5-6 months

[@cameronwoodcock706]

If you want to experience a boisterous crowd, go and see any team in the Swedish elite league. The crowd sings, chants, and dances all game long. By far the loudest crowds in hockey.

[@loganlightscreative]

That jersey you're wearing is a thing of beauty.

[@wyzedefr6549]

oh...you're going to be all over Matthew's goal on your next video. So excited to see him play on the leafs.

[@nirmallaharrybachan8958]

The wine was a nice touch there Steve lol 🍷

[@nametags]

Phil Kessel's tweet was epic. It made me proud that I got his jersey when I was in Pittsburgh. And it was one of the greatest burns I have witnessed in a while. He spat out better fire than the [Insert Hockey Player here] Ego twitters manage to get out.

[@iaintnomanstealer]

Im going for team north america in this tournament as well cause honestly, as a Canadian how often do we get to cheer for the underdogs in these kinda events!?

[@iaintnomanstealer]

Also 6 million per year for 5 years for David Backes!?!? Have fun with that one boston!

[@BobbyT.]

I know Canada was going to win, and I had no faith in team USA to begin with, but they crapped the bed. I thought that they would atleast put up a decent fight. I was wrong.

[@buzztheblocker89]

please do a reaction video for the N.A. vs Sweden overtime.... that was crazy!!

[@Axe1524]

Phil impression was on point

[@RandyRazUllon]

I like the Leafs new red sweaters. Seems to have inspired the team too.

[@brad_genx_sk8er]

It's the lame ass media who don't like Phil.

[@Manima108]

No it was the media attention

[@mermaidfan36]

That Phil Kessel impression 😂

[@Atalantea]

How utterly ridiculous that a bunch of guys who could (and should) have been swapped out for Phil Kessel back when the team was actually made are pissing themselves over a tweet that wasn't directed at ANYONE when they were legitimately directly called lazy/jokes/embarrassments by several other American hockey players over the course of the week.

[@loriscece9665]

Love ya Steve but surgery is occasionally optional, or at least people have the option when to have it. Friend of mine delayed his knee surgery a whole summer so he could finish his indoor soccer season

[@GeneralthekidPlaysMC]

I sit in box seats almost every time I go to a hockey game

[@niyataylor7581]

i just came back from the blue jays game

[@Rowblob1441]

Why did Phil block you Steve?

[@CTODGhost]

Because Steve loves Phil just a little bit, haven't you noticed?

[@XxHockeyKid34xX]

Steve did you see Andersen new mask? I love it. my friend says its plain

[@Denislami8]

Can't wait until steve reacts to the Team North America win haha

[@BoltonGaming]

Man Steve you’re one of the luckiest guys in the world

[@PaydoggProductions]

Coming from the guy who said he was cheering for TNA😂🇨🇦

[@jordanlogan2745]

When I read Phil Kessels tweet I thought he was being funny. Am I the only one who thinks his tweet was misunderstood?

[@Surl9596]

Judging by the players, fans and managements reaction, I'd say they Absolutely understand that it's a funny joke

[@noahtedesco2305]

how old are you steve? just curious

[@peterbeaton8]

YOU JINXED THE KIDS STEVE. GOD DAMMIT

[@crazyk8lady562]

Steve talking about John Tavares. This girl is happy.

[@Headlght93]

it's called the volcano after iceland's soccer success this summer, and ther fans did it, and the coach was from sweden so we swededs took after it

[@seamusbelisle5425]

I always thought of Phil as a cat guy

[@Scionofgreyhaven]

Steve stop bandwagoning, you chose your side

[@longshot4892]

Bro he is still canadian tho

[@Surl9596]

You know he's from both of those teams right?

[@specmence32]

Why did he block you Steve? xD

[@jordanhession2545]

We love kessel let's go pens let's go pens!!!!

[@RandyRazUllon]

Feel bad for Torts? Nope. Screw Torts.

[@hockeyheroes9761]

kessel was poison to the locker room in toronto and pittsburgh until sullivan set him straight

[@FretzlemaniaPod]

Kessel's thing was funny. Douche move but still amazing!

[@ghostspectre1861]

Tortorella tried to make it US versus the World....unfortunately he's not Wayne Gretzky circa 2002.

[@GeorgeAndrewGoodrich]

To see where the reason the clap has become popular search "icelandic clap euro 2016" on KZbin to see some of the videos of it.

[@DarthRoyGBiv]

I thought the tweet was HILARIOUS. lol

[@xHughes43x]

The Emperor of Hockey is Wayne Gretzky. Come on Steve, that worthless piece of sidewalk gum named Bettman isn't even close to being important to hockey

[@sammyboy631]

How many hot dogs do you think Kessel can eat in a row?

[@jojoembiid2132]

I was at that game

Did you see Jeremy Roenicks tweet??

[@ChrisDiBernardoMusic]

I don't feel the slightest bit sad or bad for Tortorella, lol.

[@Gmoney033]

it was a sad day for america..

[@MGOBLUE902]

Why are you blocked by kessel?

[@QwertyDFTBA]

stevedangle.tumblr.com/post/90567628279/what-did-you-do-to-get-blocked-by-kessel-and-bozak

[@Bline-ip6et]

Marchand/Crosby/Bergy like Getzlaf Perry and Tavares. The best group of forwards on Canada for this tourney. If there were 3 probably Crosby Marchand and getzlaf

[@teashdrinks714]

i wonder if team USA had some of the players from team north america if that would make a difference, if it was the olympics i'd say most of those players would make team USA, and probably only 1 or 2 canadians would make team canada (mcdavid a lock)

[@TheLastPariah89]

Kessel wasn't injured, and didn't know he needed surgery when team USA was named... so the point about him no being able to play because he had surgery is irrelevant.

[@bronaghmca]

So we're all rooting for Finland tomorrow yea? We deserve to see Canada vs North America! We have earned it!!!!

[@AlexTheOilersFan]

And I'm watching this video just as the 3rd period between SWE and NA is over. 3-3 tie with OT next

[@k33p1ng1tr3al]

if you pause the video at 0:00. its awesome

[@kennardsloan1281]

thanks john tortorella.team usa sucks phil kessel is right.

[@WolfFeX]

wait Steve, weren't you cheering for Team North America? Jumping back on the bandwagon now that Canada is in the finals?

[@joeyhockey5770]

go team north America

[@brianna79888]

Usa that is where i from🇺🇸

[@itsnothardev]

i have no love for torts or usa. i might have wanted them in the semis but with team euro and ralph kreuger getting the spotlight id much rather cheer for them to succeed

[@rollercoasterfweak]

And I'm depressed

[@jordintootoo2332]

Did Phil Kessel play?

[@mustafizur123]

he is injured

[@lzrjohnston]

Your dumb they didn't chose him to play

[@hockeymind6519]

No he's not on the team idiot

[@marioavalle6914]

Phil.

[@varsity_13]

if you don't know what that clap was. Soccer is not a sport for you

[@odyseamysle]

This is what Island fans are doing :)

[@raz6ne721]

People feel sorry for Tortorella? I guess that is true if you exclude US Hockey twitter. Because that that part of twitter was awash with seething and angry people, some of whom were upset with the team itself, but a lot of it was directed at Tortorella and the management that selected this team. And it's all fair in all honesty, they said that they built this team with the intention of beating Canada, and they didn't even do that. I would know, I'm one of those seething angry US hockey fans.

[@clemmer1794]

The US played up that game so much because hockey is not popular at in here in the US and they were just trying to make people watch the game. Trust me even if the US were a great team most of the country still wouldn't care which is sad.

[@trolman777]

MACKINNON AYYYYEEEE

[@mattrick6493]

Bergeron puts the team up 4-1...

[@Salmaan99]

lol 3 people said first

[@kbholla]

Canada 'should' win, but this was worse than the 2006 USA basketball team

[@louisweisberg6283]

#unblocksteve

[@Surl9596]

Not sure why he's blocked

[@patrickbooth5091]

Team USA did not ice their best team in that tournament.... such a wasted opportunity. On the plus side, a lot of the best American players are young guys. Guys like Matthews, gudreau, Jones, werenski, eichel. Hopefully the US ices our best possible roster whenever we get another best on best international tournament. IF we ever get another best on best international tournament.....

[@ThatGuy1001000]

Just saying, if torts pulled quick and put in Bishop, he would have shut the door on canada

Disappointed in USA. Luckily I have been rooting for the young North American team all along. (Call me a bandwagon or whatever). But it's kind of embarrassing for USA Hockey to not even make the semifinals. Not sitting well with me. Finland you better beat Russia baby

[@MetalDave]

I have absolutely no sympathy for Torts.

[@turkturkleton2671]

I went to a game in Finland, Finland puts our fans to shame. they sing and chant and clap the ENTIRE GAME. Canada and America don;t have shit on those guys. Sorry

[@connordonohue4649]

WE GET IT WE SUCK!!!!!

[@djmpgh6616]

Canada has been superior in producing hockey players, as long as I've been watching hockey. Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm fine, and grateful for it. Look up and down their roster, and see how many actually play for Canadian NHL teams. That would be 2. Carey Price, and Shea Weber. Wonder why Stamkos didn't consider a bigger paycheck, and play for his hometown team? Just guessing that he wants to compete for the Stanley cup, on a yearly basis. That, and the fact come February, where would you rather be? Toronto, or Tampa? So, thank you Canada! Enjoy your tournament wins, and gold medals! And if you want to see the Stanley cup. You can always go to Toronto, and see it in the NHL hall of fame. Or you can wait for one of your native sons, to bring it back from the American team their on, that just won it.

[@cheesysticks4229]

Mackinnon with a beauty

[@njdss4]

I feel dirty having slightly enjoyed seeing Team USA lose (I'm American), but I did not want the team to succeed when it was so poorly put together. Torts was a terrible choice as coach, the philosophy is outdated, the people at the top seem incredibly out of touch with reality, and I hope they clean house and start from scratch.

[@kawashi8307]

Don't. This was the collective whitewashing they needed to catch up with the rest of the hockey superpowers (also American).
