    Thats not a good feeling for a superstar to have!

  2. 8teamparlay

    This isn’t nearly as bad as the cherry picked line haha

  3. Marmooset

    I kind of figured it was being pumped up for rage bait.

  4. My .2c: Team Canada definitely has more, higher tier skill players on it, and it showed with their play style. America had an absolute wall of a Goalie and a good skill base as well. You can argue  » the better team didn’t win » but at the end of the day, the Goalie is part of the team, and there’s been many a time in hockey history a Goalie on a heater has « stolen » games/series. In all, it was a fun Olympics and a great game. Hope to see a rematch in 2 years

    “The US won, therefore they are the better team” is the same as saying “Lindsay Vonn came in last place, she was the worst skier at the Olympics”

    Cherry picked quotes. I never seen that before in my life 🙄

  7. CulturedReaving692

    Canada had the better players but USA played better

  8. Bobbyaahh

    Hockey media is insane. The quote pushed was a complete 180 from what he was actually saying.

  9. MikeMac999

    I cut anyone a lot of slack for things said after a crushing disappointment. He called it like he saw it, and I can’t say I disagree.

  10. Builder_studio

    providing context to a cherry-picked quote? in this economy?

  11. hagopes

    Anyone who knows Nate knew that quote was bullshit. That response wasn’t targeted at the Americans, it was always targeted at the person asking the question. The man hates answering questions more than anyone, especially if he doesn’t like the question.

  12. nalam8493

    The apology must be as loud as the disrespect. Mackinnon’s a great player who just failed yesterday but all the disrespect he was getting was wild. Dude’s still the leader in terms of the Hart this year and leading the best team right now

  13. aflyingsquanch

    Use it, Nate. Use the anger to crush your opponents this year for another SC.

    Also, this entire « scandal » is a giant nothingburger.

  14. OkraNo8365

    After seeing the clips of pedo protector cornball kash Patel in the US locker room it immediately ruined the excitement I had for them winning. Wish Canada won it now.

  15. TheHip41

    7 game series Canada is winning that. They are the better team. But one game KO game anything can happen.

  16. cuteintern

    « Hey, we just lost a heartbreaker, but no, why don’t you ask me if I think they’re actually better than us instead of letting the game and the final result speak for itself. »

    Classic lazy sports media shit-stirring.

  17. forustree

    I had no issue with the cherry picked line either. Awesome response.

  18. grumpygazelle

    Now everyone go say sorry to nate for shitting on him because of the cherry picked quote yesterday.

  19. Ground-Pound6969

    Are you saying Reddit jumped to conclusions without knowing the whole story? Shit. What a day to learn something new.

  20. SpazzticZeal

    That’s just hockey. We all know how it works. Sometimes, you just get beat by the best player on the ice that day.

    What was wild to me was that after that 5 on 3 PK, Canada sermed to gain the momentum even more, not the other way around, which usually seems to happen.

  21. LePouletPourpre

    Just like Men’s basketball in the USA, the world is catching up. Canada will always be a S-Tier team, but both Finland and Sweden kept Canada and the U.S. on their toes. This game could have easily been for the bronze medal. Also don’t forget Russia will (someday) eventually be back in the mix.

  22. Various-Struggle-714

    As a happy American, I have zero issues with what he said. As always context matters

  23. cmnights

    fuck social media and their rage baiting, or just media in general

  24. Scissors4215

    Talking to my brother he put it a really good way,

    “Canada proved who the better is, now they just have to figure out a way to win the game next time.”

    It’s the great thing about sports, especially winner take all series. Anything can happen

  25. DAMNacho

    It still sounds as if he’s saying his was the “better team”.

  26. No_Vacation_3148

    Canada was the better team that day, the score did not reflect it, as often happens. That’s why they play the game. 2nd time a goalie standing on his head has made all the difference to US gold. Congrats to both teams on medals! Great accomplishment either way it finished and whoever got there.

  27. RougeRock170

    Wonder if Hellebuyck goes back to sucking in the playoffs or if he finds his playoff game too.

  28. Hare__Krishna

    No, no, no. you can’t offer context, that’s illegal. We have to take player quotes out of context for maximum rage-baiting.

  29. FaceRockerMD

    But this doesn’t fuel an international hate circle jerk. That’s not the social media way!

  30. eastamerica

    The team wearing gold medals played a better game (since the goal of the game is to put the rubber pucks in the back of the net).

    Puck possession and chances are the fodder of those who didn’t.

  31. onemanwolfpack21

    Reading this and the question probably was something like, did you feel like you were the better team? Total setup. Total bullshit.

    Nate had a tough game but that’s Nate. He can look off for most of a game and then catch fires once or twice and win it all for you. He or the Avs, have never been good in 3v3 or 4v4. We lose almost every time because they are built to win 5v5. They had 2 Avs on the ice when they lost. Sometimes you live and die by those high skill players trying to do what only they can do. 99 times out if 100 Nate buried that open net shot. Unfortunately that 1% happened in a crucial moment. Plenty of other missed opportunities throughout the entire game by the entire team. It’s never one play that loses it. But….we have to have someone to blame.

  32. MaynardAgent

    So Mr, Simpson, you admit you touched hercan

  33. Sauerkrautkid7

    My attention span can’t read all that

  34. PlasticPaws

    Doesn’t sound even half as salty as the clickbait quote

  35. Choice-Ad6376

    Cherry picking headlines like a mofo.
