GREAT GAME!!!!!

What a good sport

Yo Wil,

Where's the other six verses of our national anthem? God knows, I never learned them either, but this is one of those "We won, you have to be our slaves for a day" things... Relinquish ALL lyrics to our national anthem.

R

LOL I had to look to see if Canada's victory was acknowledged yet. You were prepared! LOL

that's so great to see... it was a great game, glad to see that u really r takin it like a man. A defeated man, none the less ;)

*applauds*

Good sportsmanship, Wil! :)

(and thumper, I had the same thought as you-- i came to see if he'd posted anything, and then said to myself "I wonder how long he had that ready to go ..." :))

ok, and the next time you see one of your idiot generals on tv saying "America has never lost a war" please point them to 1812.

Olive branch?

No, really. I'm hungry.

A prepared guy is a guy with doubt in his mind ;0)

I didn't actually watch the match, the BAFTAs were more interesting to me. But well done Canada nonetheless, and well done Wil for taking it like a man!

(PS As someone else pointed out, Curling belongs, at least temporarily, to GB :0)

Haha Let it not be said that Wil Wheaton isn't a man of his word.

:D

(Althou shit-talking is always an important part of a game, admiting that canada is better than the USA is also, very important too)

~Canadian Chantelle

Great game! I must say, the US played a good game. So let's give them some credit!

A Happy Canadian Chick :o)

Way to be a good sport. Never let it be said that Wil Wheaton doesn't take it like a man.

You're still a bad ass though.

Vickie

i think we are going to post the entire hockey game war, er log. ;)

I'd prefer a war on ice (a good ol' hockey game) then on land or water (Operation Apollo) any day

WOOHOO!!!!!

Aww, and Wil, such a good sport about it! *happy dance* CanEHdian pride BABY! YEAH! =D

FUCK YEAH!!!
THANK YOU WIL!!!!!!!

Damn... That was a kick ass game!!!

Well I being a good sport that I am, I won't comment on the previous entry, but just want to say it was a good game, although I didn't see all of it. And I can't really make a comment either because I am a proud Canadian living now in the good USA. But I still did want to say...So who kicked whose ass now, hehe. We took our torch back. :-) Just funning. And although I don't normally make comments on here, I do love reading them all and wanted to contribute to this one.

I think the US national anthem is more beautiful and has more creativity. :) Love you Canada but the USA still rocks whether we win or not. Wil talk trash whenever you please!

Did you know there was a two-dollar coin in the ice at center? ;)

I am so glad Canada won, this was the most exciting hockey game I have seen in a long time. See, it really can be exciting without all the violent crap :-)

There was a CDN 2$ Coin in Center Ice!!

You're a good sport Wil, but, was there ever any doubt? If Richter hadn't been hot the score would've been 25 to 2! You've got to come to Toronto sometime to drown your sorrows -- we've got stouts that make Guiness taste like it comes from a Dublin sewer! ( God knows I've sampled them all)

John Mcgregor

Fuckin' EH! Go Canada!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!!!! YEAH! We're the best!!!

Thanks Wil! It's so nice see our flag on your site. You're a great sport! :)

Fuckin' EH! Go Canada!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!!!! YEAH! We're the best!!!

Fuckin' EH! Go Canada!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!!!! YEAH! We're the best!!!

your anthem was written in response to your lame attempt to annex Canada. you were sent home crying. And we set fire to your (now) whitehouse.

go back and listen to the lyrics.

Yeah, I think I heard that the 2$ coin was put there by the guys who do the ice.. they're Canadian, and they do all the ice for NHL games!

Good sport, Wil!

And I have to say, that I am glad it was USA that we played - I can't think of a better team to play against.

Our anthem is still better. Doesn't matter what you say it still is better! HA!

I think both the anthems suck, really. One glorifies war and the other is just, well, boring.......

YAY!!!!! CANADA ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

It was neat seeing the flags side by side, eh?

actually, Gigi, the white house that was burned down was in Philadelphia. Soon afterward construction started on the White House in DC.

(Danielle the Canadian history buff).

I wanted to play russia for the 30th anniversary.

oh well.

Well,

The Canadian flag was a bit higher. Because WE WON THE GOLD!!! WE WON THE GOLD!!!!!

This is in response to Amanda, it as acutally a loonie (1$ coin) imbedded in center ice becuase the Ice Keepers were Canadian.

and the tradition of white houses was born ;-)

i actually like ours better, but that's umm...because I'm biased...and I've been forced to play it for years.

I'll take war over boring anyday. LOL!!

My husband's Canadian and I'm American and I tell you, we got our butts kicked and deserved it. It was a great game, though. However, Chris Chelios will still always be the "God of Ice" in my heart.

Nice touch with the flag, Wil. Excellent stuff.

Um,

Choice between war and boring??? Boring baby, boring.

I didnt mean literally. LOL! I meant song wise.

Well,

That's something altogether different, isn't it?

Damn, I missed all the trash talking, on this one! Late again.

But really-congratulations to all Canadians on the Olympic hockey sweep. Brodeur played a masterful game (how about that save on Brett Hull?) You played an incredible defensive game-I was surprised to the shots on goal being as close as they were because it seemed like USA couldn't get a shot through.

But if you would have told me Mario Lemieux missed an open net, I'd have said you were crazy.

You know most the people in the USA don't know the other what five verses to our national anthem. How sad is that. I know them though. :) But I'm sure that is the case everywhere. You know.

That was a most excellent game. The US played well, but Canada (obviously) played better... :D Go canada!

Ah... it feels good to be on top. You can do all the shit-talking you want, Wil, but it won't change the fact that we kicked you guys' asses today and will therefore rule for the next four years! :D

Wait I just read the national anthem of Canada and it certainly sounds a bit warish. :)

LOL not when we draft them to american teams and they play for the USA in the next olympics. LOL!!

Yo, rock on Canada. My wish came true. Maybe not my want, but my wish. They so deserved it, and their country should be proud. Rock.

You know, their anthem was written in peace time, which makes it so much more beautiful.

English translation of the French: (so pretty!)

O Canada! Land of our forefathers
Thy brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of flowers.
As in thy arm ready to wield the sword,
So also is it ready to carry the cross.
Thy history is an epic of the most brilliant exploits.

Thy valour steeped in faith
Will protect our homes and our rights
Will protect our homes and our rights.

Being prepared showed that Wil was being a good sport.
To our Canadian friends, congradulations on the win. Your guys played a hell of a game. They deserve the Gold!

By the way, did anybody else find it as funny as I did when Steve Yzerman took that penalty (which I thought was a bad call, but I'll take it)? I have never seen him that angry before! Nor had I ever seen him pissed enough to throw a towel on the penalty box camera!

Stevie, I hope you hang on to some of that emotion for the Cup run!

What was ours written in war time? Sheesh it talks about how even though the British tried to beat us our flag still flew and we are free now cause we had to courage to fight. I mean how is that any different than Canada's? Sheesh!

Hmmmm,

I guess I found it so boring I didn't notice....

A quote from my 6 yr old daughter who watched the game with me.

"Now if all wars were as simple a hockey game, there would be no need for people to die. They would be too tired to shoot at people because of a little black puck."

hooray for canada!!!!!

best game ever, yay!! :o)

this game was way more anticipated but the US team were much more gracious losers than the US women's team... they were quite sour after their match.

i saw 2 cdns + 2 americans (the detroit teammates?) take pics together... there is some great spirit for ya :)

no. not "best game ever".

that's still '72. i'd still have preferred to play russia for the gold. but this is nice.

(and dale, as if the author of the song was going to mention that you picked the fight. *cough*itsyournationalspecialty*cough*)

HI! I must be the only person *that likes hockey, atleast* in the werld that missed this.

agh.

This is when I utter the same words that I utter every football season when my alma mater's team gets it's butt kicked...

"Just wait till next year!!!" (Well, change it to next olympics...)

Congrats hosers. You earned it, eh? :>

Well, at least we know Wil's got cahones.

Or is that spelled cajones? Spelling Police?

As an American in Canada -- either way I'm proud. It was an awesome game! Here in Vancouver the honking and cheering will continue into the night :-)

Mandeville -- from the mouths of babes comes the simplest and profoundest observations. I whole-heartedly agree with her.

As for the banter of the anthems and the burning of the Whitehouse -- The US anthem was orignally a popular British song of the time that the people set Key's words to, so not too much creativity there. But it is a catchy tune otherwise it'd be boring too. And it was the British Navy that officially burned down the Whitehouse in DC. They had dinner there and then torched the place. Canadians would have made the fire into a BBQ and then ate. People have got to drop that one. It really is reaching when there wasn't even a Canada then.

Parle vous francais, Wil?

I was cheering for the Canadians because (a) I thought they'd been screwed long enough and (b) they had more players from the Colorado Avalanche on their team. So it was good to see that our man, "Yo Joe!" Sakic, was voted best forward of the tournament. He had 2 goals and 2 assists today, including the game-winning goal in the 2nd period and the final goal of the game.

Though it would have been good to have Patrick Roy in net for Canada, Martin Brodeur was up to the task. Actually, both he and Mike Richter were; they made some incredible saves. Roy himself couldn't have done it better.

I really felt that, up until Canada's goal to go ahead 4-2, it could have gone either way. (And I was half expecting to see Team USA score in the 3rd and carry it 3-3 into overtime.) Even then, Team USA could have fought back. But Canada just wanted it more. And sometimes that's all that matters.

No matter who won, I knew it would be a hell of a game, one for the books, maybe the best hockey game ever played anywhere. And that looks to be true, too.

Eric

Damn, Gigi. No need to be nasty about it. Ya won - the shit talking was about the game, not Anthems or who beat who in a war. This is about hockey. Besides, the War of 1812 was 190 years ago. Let it go.....

Gigi at least the USA does shit. Canada is just there.

Wil,
We've even got you beat in the 'long suffering' department. There's no way the apparent ineptitude of the kings can come close to Harold Ballard and his Make Be Leafs.

John McGregor

Ash, you have a point, but our country's history is a bit scant so far, so we have to stretch it a bit. The Whitehouse story will never die, facts be damned. :-)

What a great game though!!! Exciting, evenly matched, great play by both teams, and great sportsmanship at the end. Classy of the American men to be happy for Canada. (Boo on the American women for their poor showing). Although since the men's teams play together throughout the NHL season, and played together recently at the all-star game, it's not hard for them to be happy for one another.

I was worried about Canada's chances at the start of the tourney (yikes, we were bad!), but we got some momentum going as a team, and it carried us through to the gold. Go Canada!!!

Aw that was sooooooo sweet Unka Wil

well, best game during my lifetime!

i am only 23, after all... :o)

canadians rock

Good game, eh?

Do they have cheese in Canadia?

We WIN! (I can hear cars outside honking like mad still...and its two hours later.)

Ha Ha Ha! You've got egg on your face now Mr W!!! Hey, and are you wearing your glasses? Mrs W says we have to keep reminding you....

Our anthem was written at war time, Canada's at peace time. I wasn't starting a fight, I was stating a fact. Hell, I wasn't even taking a stance on either fact! CALM DOWN.

Here are your additional lyrics to the Canuck Anthem.......

O Canada! Where pines and maples grow,
Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow,
How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western Sea,
Thou land of hope, for all who toil!
Thou True North strong and free!
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee!
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee!

O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies,
May stalwart sons and gentle maidens rise,
To keep thee steadfast through the years,
From East to Western Sea,
Our own beloved native land!
Our True North strong and free!
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee!
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee!

Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer,
Hold our dominion whithin thy loving care;
Help us to find, O God, in thee
A lasting, rich reward,
As waiting for the Better Day,
We ever stand on guard.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee!
O Canada! We stand on guard for thee!

Cheese, yes, we have cheese in Canadia, but apparently no American cheese..... Everywhere I ask for it I am met by a blank look and the inevitable query, 'you mean cheddar?' Huh??

In 1988, I was going to school in Washington.

As was my wont and inclination in those days of yore, I conned three of my closest friends into renting a car on the absolute spur of the moment and off we drove to the Olympics in Calgary.

Highlights:

1) Four large (all over six feet) guys asleep in a compact with a cooler between us and six feet of snow outside in sub-zero conditions.

2) My new Canadian friend who I met in the boy's pee pee room while drunk.

3) Getting escorted off of the (closed) bobsled run by machine gun-toting security personnel.

4) Hurling a flat tire down a long, snowy embankment and realizing too late that I really, really shouldn't have done that.

5) The smell of my own vomit.

6) Tickets purchased from scalpers at the very last minute to the gold medal hockey game for $5 Canadian apiece.

7) Our chant during the game? "Hole-sucker!" That's all you need to know.

Our group was called the Calgary Committee.

And many tittie twisters were administered as a result of our own frontier-style of kangaroo court justice.

What crime compelled us to pull the car abruptly to the side of the road and group tittie twist the offender?

One word.

Snatch.

The forbidden word.

Remind me to tell you that story sometime.

It's better than the Pooh story.

By FAR.

you actually expected america to win?
the only reason any of the nhl teams are any good is b/c of russians and canadians.
but i do love those redwings... go Yzerman!

thanx, i was wondering what the lyrics were to "Oh Canada!"

Um, what's American cheese? It's like asking what's Dutch cheese, or French cheese. As far as I know (and my cheese knowledge may be faulty) kinds of cheeses are more specific like gouda, or brie, or cheddar or parmesan. So what is this kind of cheese you call "American"?

we call it "plastic"

Yes, Roughy, we do have cheese, -- a frozen Gouda made a great puck for for a game of shinny when we farm kids couldn't afford a real one ( and it went like a God Damn red bullet!). The scores were always in the double digits 'cause you only ever got in the way of it once!

Canadian0812

I recommend the Downhill Freestyle Mogul Slalom Skeleton Halfpipe 50 k Four Man Combined Frozen Cheese Toss and Ice Fishing Derby for the next Winter Olympics.

What a great game. Both sides played exceptionally well. Go Canada! It would have been so cool if The Shat had presented the gold medals, but hey, you can't have it all. Wil, you have my congratulations on your good sportsmanship.

I remember being in the states a few times last year and I kept seeing "American Cheese" on sandwich menus and stuff.. I finally decided to be brave and have some if this American Cheese and was shocked to find that it was in fact those disgusting processed cheese slices..! My boyfriend, who had been staying there for a year already, did a "..I could have told you that.." He said the same thing when I ordered a breakfast with "Canadian Bacon" and ended up with a thin slice of something that looked and tasted a lot like cheap ham...

Told you. it's what we refer to as "plastic".

Go canada, I knew they'd win. They're real competition was Russia!
Ha Ha!

great game for sure...we did it!

Hey, you made the screen resolution really big...it doesn't fit in my browser window anymore.... :(

That's right Wil, eat your crow while its still warm. We kicked your laclustre team right in the ass, got to love it. :)

A graceful admission of loss, I'm very, very impressed. :)

To be fair, the Americans played a good game too. A good game only happens when there is good competition. Record it in the history books everyone - these past 6 months have been nothing but the rewriting of it all. :)

Ya know......

Everytime I hear about Canada anything, I am reminded of 2 things:

1. The song Blame Canada from the South Park Movie. It's too damned catchy.

2. My friend, Warren, who grew up in Canada and in the Southeren US. When he would speak it was an odd mixture of accents. Example: What ya'll up to, eh? What's this all about (pronounced a-but), ya'll?

I know this has nothing to do with hockey, but again just seeing the Canadian flag brought both to mind.

So Canada won, I take it? :-) Didn't they beat USA Women's Hockey for the gold as well? Well, congrats to our neighbors of the North. Would have loved to seen the game, but I had to work (damn retail). Actually, even if I didn't have to work, I probably still wouldn't have watched it because I've kinda strayed from the Olympics after Michelle Kwan took the bronze. I know I know, she deserved it because Sara Hughes skated so much better (which is completely true...she kicked major ass on her long program) but I so wanted Michelle to win (I've been such a fan of hers since she was deemed an alternate for the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer). Damn Tara Lipinski and stealing her gold in Nagano. Why must these 16 year old upstarts must get in the way of Michelle Kwan?! But, I'm over it.....really I am :-)

We RULE! mwahahahaha!!!! :)

To put things in perspective...

When Television's Wil Wheaton was snacking on cucumber sammiches and New Coke with Dan Quayle and family, Spudnuts was lying face down in a snowberm, his cheek frozen to the curb in a pool of his own sick.

Now...

You tell me who was sucking the sweet ju-jee out of the mudbug skull of life and who was just phoning it in.

what can i say? we did invent the sport! both women and men got the gold and proved it for us. You're a good sport Wil.

Chuck E. Cheezus H. Keerist.

This thread is lousy with Canadians.

You can't swing a dead Irishman or flamboyantly gay cat in here without hitting a Spork-eating puck-monkey.

Thanks, Wil. The US played a great game, too.

Thanks for being such a good sportsman about it! :)

Dale and Gigi - please just shut up! You are both annoying and are making your respective countries look bad. There is no need for the Canada/USA bashing and "my_country_is_better_than_yours" BS. Both countries are great, and both of you are acting LAME.

AWWWWWWWaaaaa--- :(( And this is why I don't like to go on the road at the last minute!!
I missed the whole thing Me a huge Hockey Fan!
If I had known that I wouldn't have made it home in time I would have set the VCR-- well what'a done is done. my sister told me all about it.
-Way to Go Canada!

Hehehehehehe......

I love hockey.... and the Canadians are the best at it....

But it was close and let's have another one, eh?

Now, if I can only learn curling....

Hey, kids...

Let's not take this too seriously, okay?

I mean, it's just a silly hockey game.

It's not worth getting all worked up about.

It's not like it's pairs figureskating, for chrissake's.

heh.

The best thing about the game is how classy the American player were afterward. Nice show boys.

As a Canadian, I am quite impressed. Nice to see it didn't go ugly, like say it would hav been with some other countries.

A classy finish.

P.S. WOOOHOOO! Canada ROX!

I am not talking about disgusting Kraft cheese slices (we won't even discuss Kraft 'Dinner'). I can get those nasty pseudo cheese slices at my local Zehr's. I am talking about very yummy mild (say Land O'Lakes brand) American cheese. American cheese IS a kind of cheese (like Brie or Gouda). Canada has great hockey, America has great cheese.

Thank God! Spudnuts is back!
puck-monkeys....hehehe

YO CANADA YO CANADA YO CANADA YO!!

Now, if only all the tools who are driving past my downtown toronto home would just stop with the horn-honkin' flag-wavin' crazeeeness so that I can get back to studying for my midterm tommorrow.

Yes I am just bitter.

And I have never heard those 'o canada' verses posted above in my life. Are those seriously real?

D O U B L E _ G O L D !!!!!

YEAH BABY YEAH!

(Mike Myers is Canadian too eh!)

"Spork-eating puck-monkey?"

Hey Wil and anyone who wants to learn a bit about Canada. Go to this site. I was searching for a site to learn more about the country I now live in. My hubby is Canadian.*Grins* ANyways go to:
[url]www.ualberta.ca/~bleeck/canada/[/url
I am an ex-patriot...and I-LOVE-CANADIAN!...eh

http://www.ualberta.ca/~bleeck/canada

I'm very proud to be Canadian right now...
Thanks for the Tribute to our Wonderful Country Wil

hey everybody! what a crazy day! i work in a grocery store, so at about 10:30 this morning, we got hit with a crazy rush of ppl just pickng up pop and chips and munchie type snack food for the game, and everybody kept asking me if i was sad that i couldnt watch the game? and of course, i said no...i dont like hockey! and there were some people taht accepted that at face value, but then there were some people who started calling me unpatriotic and stuff! that really made me angry! of course i love my country (canada) and i would be proud to see it do well in the game, but im not hung up on it, as i dont like the sport, and if we didnt win, i wouldnt be all torn up about it, because i DO NOT define my country by their athletic acheivements! i define it by being canada and thats all!
so anyway
by 12:45, the store was empty! and it stayed that way til about 4:00! it was deathly boring! shroves of us all went to the back where they had a small tv and watched the game (i went because all my friends were going - what can i say? im a lemming - while others were actually watching the game! buahahah!) and when it was all over, one of the managers back there made a store wide announcement for the staff and for the few shoppers, that we had won...it was so great! buahaha! loved it!
and i just want to say that i love all of the verses of o canada! there are actually 6, i do believe, but hardly anyone knows any of them besides the first one (i ony know it coz ive done them in choir and stuff...) its so great!

Mmmm. Cheese.

The best cheese in the world comes from Wisconsin. None of this California cheese crap. CALIFORNIA CHEESE SUCKS!!!!!! It's quality, not quantity.

Y'know...I've never even liked hockey.

But.

Reading the comment thread for the previous post was some of the most vicariously exciting stuff I've seen.

Y'all are great.

Best game I've ever read.

As a proud Canadian I would like to officially accept your congratulations and offer my admiration for your ability to admit that *we kicked US butt!!* Love ya Will.

Rob,

Most Americans, provincial lactating thunder mug squatters that they are, know "spork" as that little utensil which is neither spoon nor fork but is also spoon AND fork, if they know anything at all.

But ANYONE who has taken the time to explore the exquisite nightmare that is our neighbors to the north knows full well that Spork is also a canned meat along the lines of Dak and Spam.

The Canadians know this.

ALL Canadians know this.

That is what makes them strong.

And it is also what makes them so very, very vulnerable.

Are you watching the closing ceremonies?

Watch the Canadians.

You can see it in their eyes.

They KNOW.

They've got that perverted gleam that only a lifetime consumption of currant juice, condensed milk, and Spork can provide, like the super-race of fremen from Frank Herbert's Dune.

They crave the spice.

The canned, potted meat by-product melange that can only come from Planet Arrakis in the galaxy of Manitoba.

Canadians are MORE than human.

And much, much LESS.

They are a terrible nation of miscreants and mutants who will not stop, will not yield until ALL are mated to the oily pork teat of Dak, Klik, and Spork.

I've been to Canada.

I know.

And they know I know.

That's why I am never safe.

I've got the celebrities on one hand and the Canadians on the other.

Both are determined to take me down.

But I fight for YOU.

I will never yield.

I love you.

All.

I, too, am very impressed with the sportsmanship of Wil, both teams, and most of the posters here (with the notable and unfortunate exception of DaleJr... it's fun until people go on a bigoted tirade).

Nice job, Wil! Rock on, eh!

Oh Canada.

What a great country I live in. This game was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*looks at Spudnuts funny*
No man...no I'm serious now.

Wil,

You really do think you're funny don't you? Just cuz *our* pairs skaters were...
no..not going there.

Nope, don't go there... as a fellow Canadian, you know how it works =). Goes both ways though, to be fair.

O Spudnuts, spudnuts, spudnuts.

It is tres tres dangerous to disclose the secrets of another nation.

You never know who is listening. And as you can see from this list, there are many Canadians, including ex-patriot Canadians listening.

Who knows, your next door neighbour could be Canadian.

And us Spork-eating snow-blowing puck-monkeys may have to seek you out and go glacial on your buttocks.

But, then again ... you might like that ;)

Wil types "More Badly"

The grammer police don't like that.
The grammer mounties like that even less.
Shame Shame! Looks like you have to be the goalie for the next team Canada plays.

Way to go CANADA!

Um....

Technically speaking, American cheese (not the processed plastic crap) is a slightly softer version of mild cheddar. Imagine cheddar at the first stage. That's because we don't have the patience to let it age much.

On the other end of the spectrum, another uniquely American cheese (at least I think so), you have something called "rat-trap" cheese, aged so much that it's sharp as hell, but sooo good. I know you can get it in the south..I've only seen it in Louisiana but then I don't ask for it. I pity the person who was so desperate for some cheese that they pulled it out of the rat trap to find out how good it was.

im sorry, while im happy they won an' stuff.. i think hockey is a demented game. :D

As per Ross the Canadian's request;

Just click on my name!

Aw. Unlce Willie's Mojo had no adverse effect.

Isn't that a beautiful flag Wil? Ah, yes...the red and white look good with GOLD added to it! Hehe...thanks for being a gracious loser...

...btw, thanks for the entertainment over the years (on TV and movies)...you're truly a fine actor...see you in Nemesis!

I was once asked by an American what my phone number was. I told him it was "7".

He wrote it down ... thought about it ... And then tried it a week later.

This is a 100% true story.

He also liked to chant U-S-A a lot.

I'm sure we've got a few equally dumb-assed Canadians =)

Royal Farker: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I once had a guy from CA ask me really casually, "So, do you live in one of those igloos 'n stuff?"

I took a good, long look in his eyes and realized he was not kidding. Sooooo sad :(

No wonder you're wife and kids love you so much! A gracious loser as well as a gracious winner ( I mean if the US had won I'm sure *L*) A very nice tribute to the winning team.

You seem like a nice guy Wil. :)

"ok, and the next time you see one of your idiot generals on tv saying "America has never lost a war" please point them to 1812.

Posted by Gigi at February 24, 2002 02:09 PM
"
America never HAS lost a war. The result of the war of 1812 was a peace treaty signed on equal grounds. Nothing close to a defeat. The ONLY time our country has come close to a defeat is Viet Nam, however, that was a conflict, not a war. Had it been declared a war, Viet Nam would have been fought a LOT differently, and rest assured, we would have won it.

First of all, I just want to reiterate from what I've said earlier-Congratulations Canada! You more than deserve it!

That said, I want to point out one thing that seems to be overlooked.

We won the Silver medal.

There is no shame in that.

I am just as proud of Team USA as I am happy for Team Canada.

Congrats to both teams!

Wil's so NOT a gracious loser...

Mandeville--thanks for sharing the insight, I like your child!

Wil-wear your glasses.

Look I really do not care who won.

Lets get our priority's straight..

SPUDNUTS IS BACK..and THATS ALL THAT REALLY
MATTERS!!!

Well, I live in Wisconsin.

That's like living in Canada.

Except, you know, more conservatives and guns.

You know I have to say that Mike Richter played
one hell of a good game. I haven't seen a goalie
play that good in a long time. In my opinion, Second star. First goes to Sakic and third to Brodeur.

Quote of the day: Thanks for the hangover team Canada.

Richter did play very well. I was very surprised by his play in this tournament. I never really thought of him as an "elite" goalie (a la Roy, Hasek, Joseph, etc.), but he certainly played like one. Unfortunately for us Americans, Brodeur was the one to make the BIG save (on Hull's shot, which I still can't believe he made!).

Woohoo! Yeay Canada.. we've been wanting this one for a long 'ol time. It was a great game overall though and the States put up a great fight. Good show!

The Maple Leaf Forever baby heh

Hey, Spudnuts.

I take this opportunity to make you an honorary Canadian.

And thus, better able to track down through our (the Canadians) telepathy network of e-ville.

There is nowhere to hide. Give in to the artificial food product.

Whoa...

Movie Idea...
Wesley Crusher.. Borg Queen and the Canadians.
Completely unstoppable.
The Cardassians will piss their pants..

Wait..

So wrong...

bad movie tittle..
good band name

Also I'd like to announce that we have a few postions to fill on the Soulcracker Board...

I'm looking for a few good smartasses to clean up the mockers and haters plaguing us.

Well either that or actors for my new CBS show..

a very thoughtful and sweet thing to do, wil.........thanks......

we canadians appreciate things like this.....

you're a good soul to post our flag and anthem on your site today....cheers to you, eh!

About 10 years ago, I overheard a couple in Niagara Falls (Ont.) ask a cashier in a gift shop for a roadmap, as they'd like to drive to British Columbia for the day.

The next people in line were asking for directions to Ontario.

So very true. So very sad.

I do have to say this.

If the US had won the gold medal, there would have been cheering at home and in the bars and a few beers hoisted over the heads, a few high fives and maybe even a few head butts for the seriously intoxicated.

But, we would NOT have been celebrating in the streets for hours after the game like the Canadians. It meant more to them than it did to us (AND, I'm so not trying to trivalize it for you Canadians.) I think it's great that a country can be so excited and happy over a victory like that. Party on, Canadians - you've earned it.

Can you believe the Canadians have a sport called "curling" that doesn't involve beer? Guess that's why they got the silver.

Although they kicked our ass in that too.

--NT

Thats just because curling's more of a single malt type of game and the beer keeps freezing when you set it down to play a stone.

John McGregor

Yer a good sport Wil! :) Glad to see you eat a little crow though. ;)

Great game. Great Olympics too.

CK - aka TonyInCalgary

Compliments to the canadian team.......

But I, as a poor german hockey-fan have to say: the biggest surprise is the german team taking part in quater-finals :)

We lost 0-5 against USA

But Canada gave us Satisfaction (luv u canada)
:)

Canada; see "South Park"

---'I'm with Starfleet. We don't lie.'

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share my experience in the celebration that took place in the streets of Toronto last night. It was the most surreal thing I've ever seen. Yonge Street was closed off and full with a sea of people, 80% of them carrying canadian flags. Many were painted up.

A ton of people were waving their flags attached to hockey sticks, there were a bunch of street hockey games going on, hours and hours of cheering and honking. I felt so proud to be Canadian. There were even some people dressed up in full costumes! I saw Batman, Wolverine and a few people wearing nothing but a flag wrapped around them. While walking through the sea of people going up and down the streets, everyone was just passing each other giving highfives. There was such incredible positive energy in the air, which was a nice change from the usual stressed out, suspicous negativity that sometimes dominates big cities like Toronto.

We were in a pub while the mayhem was just getting started and there was a steady stream of people stopping in off the street, climbing up on chairs and the bar, waving our flag and getting the whole place screaming even louder.

One of the funniest moments of the night is when we walked by this small group of Russians yelling "We're number three! We're number three!" in beatifully thick accents. :)

Cheers,

-Karl

Hey Wil,

I am sure Wayne Gretzky, Pat Quinn, Jacques Martin, and Ken Hitchcock, Kevin Lowe etc would send you their sincerest gratitude;)As do I.

Now its time for you to cheer for another winning hockey team, the Leafs, cos Lord knows your Kings aren't gonna get anywhere with Potvin in net, trust me I should know;)

Thanks again

There is if you're an American.

Silver medals are for unscrupulous, smelly Frenchies.

And the Bel-jish.

From Bellgeeum.

There are only three metals which are of value to the people of Les Etats-Unis:

1) Platinum.

Preferably in the form of a big, motherfucking belt buckle in the shape of Texas. Or that nudie mudflap chick.

2) Gold.

Preferably in the form of a big, motherfucking toof. Or teefs. Or as a hand-carved, ornate codpiece decorated with eagles and snakes which says: "my huge American dick resides within, fucker!"

Finally...

3) Lead.

Preferably in the form of ammunition or full-body smocks which can be used to shield our vital organs from the debilitating gamma rays of our decaying atomic waste heaps.

Steve McQueen, Magnificent Seven: "We deal in lead, mister."

That's what Detective Lieutenant Frank Bullitt, SFPD says so you can take that to your Canadian bank in the forest and cash it, Jacques.

Trivia:

What episode of ST:TNG was shot on location in Canada?

That would be the episode where the Romulans travel back in time to sell magic eye paintings at the Edmonton Mall.

It's a seagull.

No, it's a whale.

Do I need to hold my hand over one eye or something?

Is there an Orange Julius in this place?

Some nausicaans opened a Chick-fil-A. I think they have Snapple.

Cool. That's totally a whale though.

what a game. toronto was a mess afterwards - people in the streets everywhere - honking, screaming - fantastic! about time we had something to cheer "aboot".

~spoonie

It was nice to see Wil suck it up, but it was a great game. I love that save where Richter made alike a pretzel and caught hte puck on the back of his left skate to keep it out. That was my favorite.

BTW, the borg Queen is a canadian :)

- Law

It's so nice to see someone who doesn't curl up in the corner and revert to Canada bashing just because WE BEAT YOUR ASS!!!! I'm so sick of stupid Canada bashers and your site made me all happy again. Yay!!!!

i'd say something about all the Canadians rubbing it in our (American's) faces, but I'd be doing the same thing if it was the other way around. Plus the Canadians played damn good, so good job =P

Nice to see our flag up there, Wil - thanks/merci for being a great sport! It was a beautifully played game all 'round - I think we just wanted it that touch more (only waited 50 years, eh?). But man Richter is one tough goalie - he put up quite the fight. So hurrah all round for the players, who make it all worth watching. And hey, I live in downtown Toronto and I really loved hearing all the cheering outside my windows - it capped off a great afternoon. I don't think it was that noisy since the Jays won the World Series.

The Canadian team should be disqualified for using whammy hex voodoo magic.

A two-ney embedded in center ice, indeed . . .

No doot aboot it:
http://campnormal.tripod.com/molson-canadian-no-doot-aboot-it.mov

You people....

It's all about the toque.

I'm proud to be an American and all that yadda-yadda blahblahblah. No really, I am. But there is no denying that Canada's national anthem kicks our national anthem's butt. What a stirring tune! And no bloody, martial language. If I'm ever famous enough that I'm asked to sing the national anthem at a ballgame, I'm gonna put in a bid for the Canadian one. No kiddin'.

First of all, I want to congratulate our Canadian friends( and they ARE our friends) on their hard-fought victory: You deserved it or you wouldn't have got it. Well done!
Second, I would like to point out that the war of 1812 was a war of agression fought by the British when we wouldn't let them conscript our sailors into the British Navy. It was NOT a war between the United States and Canada. It was British soldiers who burned down the first White House in Washington, DC, which incident helped fuel the American anger that led to among other things, both the victory at New Orleans and the first time American regulars (under Winfield Scott) defeated British regulars on the field of battle. This occasion is why the cadets at West Point (and eventually the Confederate Army) wore gray- Scott's troops (the first to undergo what we would think of a basic training ) wore gray because there wasn't time to ship them the American army standard blue uniforms.
I would also like to clear the confusion about the American anthem- it was written as a poem by Francis Scott Key, when he was held prisoner overnight by the British while they attempted to take Fort McHenry. The lines about "rockets red glare" and "gave proof throught the night" refer to the only way Scott could tell if the American flag was still flying, that is, if the fort was still in American hands... It's not a song about war, it's a song about the survival of the American nation, through whatever adversity or strife we may encounter.
Please don't abuse this wonderful anthem in an attempt to attack each other's nation. This is not only silly and stupid, but frankly, insulting to BOTH anthems and nations.

Rant over. (Sorry.)

AMEN DAKE!!!!!!!

Canadians want the gold medal?

Fine.

Let's see how they like life outside of Bush's Missile Defense Shield.

You want under the big laser beam space type shield magic bigtop?

Price: one gold medal and you take Michael J. Fox back in a couple dozen tiny, little boxes.

Don't fuck with us.

Just don't.

Canadian life OUTSIDE of the Missile Defense Shield:

Mutant RCMPs scavenge for gasoline in an irradiated forbidden zone of deviant viral filth and cannibalistic three-headed moose.

Canadian life INSIDE the Missile Defense Shield:

All-day full-body massages by Farrah Fawcett clones while being spoon-fed delicious chocolate pudding.

You really want to hold onto that medal?

I mean really, REALLY?

Hope you can use it to buy back your family from a brain-sucking Shania Twain.

Good game Canada! Congrats.

Great place to visit, too!

Yes! We Canadians may have kick some Yankie butt on the ice yesterday, but we only won 17 medals? The US won 34. Now I ask you, who kicked who's ass?

Hey Wil (and everyone else) -- the flag is the wrong shape!

This is just one of my pet peeves... Canada's flag is precisely twice as long as it is high, unlike the US. If you ever see the two with the same shape, it's a error... the white square is supposed to be exactly a square, and the red rectangles twice as high as they are wide...

Sigh... I'll get off my soapbox now. :-)

Cam

Cam -

Don't think Wil drew the flag freehand. Looks compressed to fit the space to me (like he borrowed the flag from another site or downloaded it from somewhere) Ask him where he got it and blame them. Or "Blame Canada" (ok, couldn't resist that). Just be happy that it's here. American flag is wrong a lot too. Some people are stupid enough to hang it backwards. Duh - Stars on the LEFT side (if you're looking at it).

Wil, you rock =) Thanks for the tribute! Very gracious of you in your completely-smushing defeat =) (Sorry for spending my youth thinking Wesley was such a Weenie!)

It was an amazing game, by both teams. You Americans played really well - I was kinda worried until we got that 4th goal! Well played. You really earned the silver! (so don't go thinking you can blame the IOC for biased ref-ing and get yourselves gold too! ;) )

To address a couple of points: When we burned down the White House, all Canadians were either British or French citizens. So yeah, we did it. And it was pink before that, so you should thank us! How manly would Bush look waging war while living in a pink house? ;)
And hey guys, part of the fun of the "US-Canada rivalry" is the fact that we can laugh about it. We're friends, allies, all of that stuff, and we all know Canada is better, so why can't we make fun of each other without getting pissed off? =)

Well, "toque" is what a snobbish pothead does. With their pinky out.

Canadians wear tooqs, eh?

17 medals is pretty high...actually, it's the highest medal count we've had yet (in a winter Olympics, that is).

No, no. You can keep Shania. And Alanis, please and thank you.

no really, you can shania back. and celine... and bryan adams too, while you're at it....

Hockey is to Canada as baseball is to the USA, so thanks for the gracious posting, Wil.

The US team put up a good struggle and have nothing to be ashamed of. Thanks to the US for hosting a great olympics.

The best tidbit about the game, of course, was the loonie buried under center ice and collected by Gretzky after the game for display in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Great story.

People finally stopped honking their car horns here in Victoria about ten hours after the game ended, from what I could tell.

I missed seeing the TNG team bobbing down the track. Is it true that Buffy entered a team of slayers? (sorry, couldn't resist)

doh! I meant you can HAVE Shania back...
(!@#$$@^%@^SPELLCHECK#$%#!@!@#!^%^#%&!!#~!)

"Yes! We Canadians may have kick some Yankie butt on the ice yesterday, but we only won 17 medals? The US won 34. Now I ask you, who kicked who's ass?"

There are 30 million Canadians and 280 million Americans. By rights with your argument, Americans should have won closer to 170 medals in order to make up for the almost 10 to 1 population ratio.

Mirelle: Exactly! Actually, there is much silliness in the Canadian media that ignores this point. We do ok for a small nation (in population).

To put things on an even footing, perhaps we should just go up against California (even though they have a few million more people than Canada). Ok, the bobsleigh team is set (Frakes, Dorn, Spiner, Stewart). Suggestions, anyone, on what Wil should do? (Luge if you like him, skeleton if you don't?).

Toke is what a pothead does.

Toque is what a Canadian wears.

Tooq is just how the poor illiterate northern fewls speel it b/c they're huked on phawnix.

Here's a link to reference how incredibly correct the cheese is on its knowledge of the hats of the far north:

You are a big dude Wil, a very big dude indeed. I don't recall seeing to many people indulging in a cheerful round of shit taking before a game then following that up with a gracious tribute to their opponents.

Of course what is ice hockey compared to 1000 metre short track speed skating?

But none of this matters - cause my son was born yesterday and the olympics are so much dross compared to that! (until he is in em naturally!)

Grendel (aust.)

Long time lurker, first time poster.

BEST... GAME... EVER...

Seriously. That was the single best game of hockey I've ever had the privilege to watch. Even if Canada didn't take it, it would have been an awesome game.

Both teams were fantastic. We were just a little hungrier, that's all. Gretzky put his ass on the line picking the players he did, and the pressure was on for them to deliver. Boy, howdy! Did they deliver!

if everyone was as good a sport as Wil, and had the same strength of character, this world would be such a happier place! You da man WW.

Thanks Mr. Wheaton, that's pretty cool of you. I'm pretty sure if Canada lost that game I'd be quicker to make up excuses than congratulate the opponent (after all, we WERE missing our three best players in that fateful Nagano game, though I don't recall my reasoning for getting our asses handed to us by your boys in the 96 World Cup).

In all seriousness, it was one of the best games I've seen (but not THE best). Team USA's third period reminded me of Russia's third period against them in the semi's, and of Finland's third period against Canada in the (whatever you call the game before the quarter-finals).

I didn't even know you were a hockey fan. The only thing that annoys me is that I missed out on all the shit-talking. And you were wrong, man, they DID take curling from us, both men's and women's. That said, I'd take both hockey golds over both curling golds any day.

Oops. That Finland game was the quarterfinals, not the game before them. My bad.

Hey! With all do respect Canada deserved it!!!

Woo-hoo!! Did anyone see how the entire country reacted !!!! It was amazing Truly a Canadian moment!!!!

Makes me pround to wear that beautiful red and white flag!

However I think the Americans took it very well, I was quite surprised! Good sports Good fun! :)

Oh and Wil you rock!

Posting the national antheme and it French too!!

Merci beaucoup mon ami!
Au fond tu est très gentil!

Salut,

Who the hell watches hockey?

The Canadians.

Who the hell has year round ice?

The Canadians.

Who the hell cares about the winter olympics?

The Canadians.

Who would bend over for a US penny?

The Canadians.

I sure do love Canadian ass.

Let's change the subject over to basketball now.

I am good for confession.

Speak to me.

You are here. And you are there.

It is not too late to repent.

Like Jim Rome, I have decided to limit my focus with regard to distribution of my product. As such I shall take my leave of this most excellent of sites. I return now to the dank pit which spawned me...

Lakerboard.

Lo.

Many months ago.

I came to WWDN with one mission.

One goal.

One dream.

To restore the gold medal in hockey to the nation of Canada.

I have done that.

We have ALL done that.

You.

Me.

Levar Burton.

And to a lesser extent the actual players on the Canadian hockey team.

And so my job here is complete.

My other goal...

To pull a train with Asia Carrera and Corey Feldman, sadly, has yet to be realized, but as Wil Wheaton once told me in one of our daily late-night four hour phone sessions: "if you call me one more fucking time, I will come to your house and beat you to death with a WFS mug" by which he meant "don't ever let go of your dream."

Those words are with me even now.

And though I never did get to pull that train, we did win the gold and we did get to have cake and ice cream in the back of Bob Costas' trailer in the Safeway parking lot in Provo.

Farewell.

It was all that.

...

...

...

...

Oh.

And the chick in "The Crying Game?"

Is a guy.

This place is better than the other in a refreshing way. Well, minus the search engine.

I'm no genius. Just some guy.

Stop watching and snap out of it.

Speak to me!

Please don't go.

Please don't go.

Don't go.

Seriously, do two chics at once. It's great.

Really.

C'mon dude, laugh. But stay and block the riff raff.

Me and wil are close. Don't worry boot it.

Harold Palmer, huh?

Alright, Stripe.

Stop bothering the nice people at WWDN.

Get your ass back to Lakerboard where you belong, bitch.

I like the word Cockenstone.

No. We belong here. I feel at home here. We are in a mirror, and this view is better.

I can't f'n believe Will Wheaton has a site! My god.. he was my childhood imaginary boyfriend for about 6 years, haha

So glad he didn't turn into a freakboi like corey haim, he has a cute little family and everything *aww*
I have got to post here more often

Spuddy just WHAT medication ARE you on?
I mean this split-personality stuff of yours is
beginning to worry even ME!

Deep breaths Spudnuts..DEEEPPP BREATHSSSSS.
NO!!!Don't hold your breath!!

BREATH breath!!

And please stop self-medicating..

YEAH BABY!!! CANADA KICKS ASSS!!!

THANKS WIL!!!!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Cindy Andrie
Victoria BC Canada!

To reward your magnanimous acceptance of Canada's double-barrelled hockey dominance I'm offering to send you a case of real beer.

That's right: genuine 5% (or 9% of you want the Quebecois stuff - Le Fin De Monde/The End of the World is a tasty malt beverage that'll leave you naked and hungover in a snowbank with a new tattoo on your ass) beer! Brewed right here in Canada.

I'll even ask you what you think aboot the taste, eh?

Wil,

Wow, what can I say. The post you have written on the board makes me weep at the sight of it. Not in a bad way either. It was a good game...no....it was a great game. Both sides played really well, both in the Men's and Women's hockey game.
Loved the Shit talking letter, but I assume that now we can serve our reply:

Dear America,

Toque-wearing, back-bacon-eating, gold-medal-not-getting?
I beg your pardon?
Well, seeing as how we WON the game, I suppose we can now serve you your Tea-Dumping, Ya'll-saying, 'Zee'-pronouncing, Cultural-Pot-Melting, Watery-Beer-Making, SILVER medal winning asses to you.

In the politest possible way,
~Kaylin

All in all, it was a great game, and I can't think of a better country to play against than our neighbours to the South of us.
As a result of the Canadian Hockey team (Both Men's and Women's) I believe the winners have the right to request anything they want from the loosers (But still great players)

Wil, WEAR YOUR GLASSES! *LOL*

I'm going to watch "Canadian Bacon" again and reassure myself.

Yes. Canada certainly schooled ya. Did you know they delayed Sunday's Raptors game because of Hockey?

Wanna sing with me the ENGLISH TRANSLATION of the French version of "O Canada!"?

O Canada! Land of our forefathers
Thy brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of flowers.
As in thy arm ready to wield the sword,
So also is it ready to carry the cross.
Thy history is an epic of the most brilliant exploits.

Thy valour steeped in faith
Will protect our homes and our rights
Will protect our homes and our rights.

I think they delayed EVERYTHING for the hockey game. Heck, for the entire 17 days of the Olympics, even. It's like when Homer steals the Olympic flame because it's cancelled his favourite shows one too many times (the Toronto episode). No SNL for two weeks!

*fires Shania from a cannon, deep into the American southwest* Enjoy! ;)

If you are interested in playing a fantasy league baseball this year let me know. We use Fanstar software that automates the scoring and also creates a league webpage that far out performs "Yahoo"

You geeks also need to check into Geocaching or
www.navicache.com

This will get your butt's outdoors!

michael caine is harry palmer.

WWDN: two celebrities. one weblog.

'ullo.

Well, I'll probably get flamed for saying this, but...

We only lost because their Canadians were better than our Canadians this year.

What'd you expect me to say? Everyone knows that we residents of the USA, save those who formerly lived in Canada, have no clue on how to play hockey... and I consider this to be the gospel truth...

Well, there's my $0.02, at any rate...

-X-

Well i'm going to throw a spanner in the works by saying I think all sport should be banned!

My reasons:

1. At school if you were not good at sport you were made to feel useless and crap as if you were a sub human and not worth living or knowing.

2. There is way too much money sport. It should be about fun and health.

3. It's way too competative and people take it way too serious and thats when hoogalism happens. Yes I know it's only a minority, ut I know people who fall out because if the results of a sports fixture.

4. What's the big deal about sport anyway?!

I know this will cause people to get upset, and I appolize but I wanted to get my penny worth in.

CANADA RULES!!!!!!

CANADA RULES!!!!!!

I really enjoyed the game and I agree with you in that it was one of the most well played games I had seen in a long time. My wife and I both had trouble knowing which team to cheer for as she is American and I am Canadian and we both live in Montreal. It made for a fun afternoon at any rate and I am happy that the two best teams made it to the gold medal game. It was great!

BTW, anyone else think the Olympic-sized ice surface makes for a vastly superior game to watch in comparison to the standard NHL rink?

Well I'm happy that Canada handed you your cocky self-serving non-gold winning asses back to you. Canada owns Hockey now and forever.
Here is a little joke that I as a Canadian quite enjoyed, and you will probably also enjoy seeing as you have a sense of humor.
"It's the first day of school and the teacher thought she'd get to know the kids by asking them their name and what their father does for a living. The first little girl says: "My name is Mary and my daddy is a postman."
The next little boy says: "I'm Andy and my Dad is a mechanic."
Then one little boy says: "My name is Jimmy and my father is a striptease dancer in a cabaret for gay men."
The teacher gasps and quickly changes the subject, but later in the school yard the teacher approaches Jimmy privately and asks if it was really true that his Dad dances nude in a gay bar.
He blushed and said, "I'm sorry but my dad plays hockey for Team USA, and I was just too embarrassed to say so."

YES! It's only taken fifty years! (And you know more of my national anthem than I do. Oh - I mean you CAPped more of my national anthem than I know - oh, and I'm not actually in the U.K. and...uhhhghh...)
GO CANADA!!!!

That was a mighty decent thing for you to do. As a country, we were feeling a little low (since Sept. 11) and a sporting win proved to be quite the tonic. God bless you and your family.

PS. Enjoyed the site. Just read about it today in the Montreal Gazette (Canada).

gay canadians, unite! i'll be in the area (montreal) if anyone wants to chat with a sassy little puerto rican 20/m. serious bidders only. even better if you're into dragons!

What is your anthem's Words Like O say can you see What's after that?

You don't know your own anthem?
