The Leafs traded Nazem Kadri on a great contract after back-to-back suspensions in the playoffs for retaliation in defense of his teammates. Does anyone believe what Kadri did was more indicting than say… William Nylander watching Matthews’ knee get blown out on a dirty play, doing nothing, and telling the media he didn’t see it despite video evidence to the contrary?

There’s no question Canada’s the little brother to the United States, but we’ve always had big bro’s back. Always. And they’ve had ours. Many Americans have trivialized our alliance based on the size of our military and our population. To anyone who cares more about the size of our country than the size of our hearts, fuck yourself. That’s not necessarily Matthew Tkachuk, though - I don’t blame Tkachuk for not liking the boos at all. I wouldn’t either. But, if you gave me the choice between the President of the United States, his executive branch, his family, members of the house, the senate, and millions of American citizens full out disrespecting Canada and its sovereignty…. or…. “O Canada” getting booed during a few hockey games (so far)… I gotta think I’d be far less offended by the boos. The boos are merely a communication mechanism that was organically conjured up to deliver a message from the people of Canada to the people of America. 20,000 people aligned, sharing a sentiment, without preparation. Fascinating, really. I know Americans are sensitive to their patriotism - rightfully so - but this isn’t a ceremonial flag burning. It’s a utility for expression. If it didn’t sting, it wouldn’t be effective. Don’t like it? That’s fine, so long as we’re all on the same page that Canada didn’t just randomly turn into a bunch of assholes overnight. I just hope America heard us when the message was different, and I hope they remember. It’d be a shame if they didn’t.
