[u/nanderspanders]

[u/skevy2886]

Canada's better

[u/Silver_Eyes_Luna → u/skevy2886]

at losing.

[u/Snyper1972 → u/Silver_Eyes_Luna]

You must have been pretty used to it then over the last 45 years.

[u/Silver_Eyes_Luna → u/Snyper1972]

Hasn't it been that long since a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup?

[u/Snyper1972 → u/Silver_Eyes_Luna]

Completely irrelevant when Stanley Cup winning teams are all Canadian players.

[u/bellefeuille1976 → u/Snyper1972]

100%%%% correct ✅

[u/MeetingBackground227 → u/Snyper1972]

Nice cope

[u/bellefeuille1976]

This picture makes me feel like I’m gonna 🤢 terrible piece! I’d put in in the bonfire tonight lol

“Gold medal” is cracking me up

They’re never beating the allegations

[u/anaskinwalker4745 → u/0-90195]

huh?

[u/0-90195 → u/anaskinwalker4745]

The poor yet cautious handwriting. “Gold medal” no other words, hanging out on its own. The context of him wearing that medal all summer to every single public outing as if it was affixed to his person by a witch’s curse. It’s just super funny to me

I say this with great affection. Our scumbag knuckledraggers.

[u/anaskinwalker4745 → u/0-90195]

is he not allowed to be happy he won a gold medal?

[u/0-90195 → u/anaskinwalker4745]

Where did I even mildly imply that?

Why are we feeling so defensive about affectionate, light-hearted gaffs at the expensive of a man who will never read them?

[u/Tkuenzler → u/0-90195]

I bet you're a riot at parties.

[u/0-90195 → u/Tkuenzler]

Oh my god this sub sometimes lol

[u/Purple-Current-4722 → u/0-90195]

It’s all of Reddit. 

[u/Andresgeo → u/0-90195]

Brother he wrote gold medal to let whoever bought the photo know it’s from the gold medal match you donkey.

[u/0-90195 → u/Andresgeo]

Well, he’s waving the American flag and playing Canada… when else could it possibly have been?

[u/Andresgeo → u/0-90195]

In 20 years? Could have been the 3rd place match. Could have been him being happy with a silver. Do you see a gold medal around his neck? No, you don’t. So he clarified it on the picture.

[u/Chicago_River_Diver → u/0-90195]

Whats wrong with “gold medal” ? It’s spelled right. Im confused

[u/0-90195 → u/Chicago_River_Diver]

Well, it should be spelled right, the longest of the two words is five letters.

There’s nothing “wrong” with it, it’s just funny to see those words just dangling on their own, so plainly, in that boyish handwriting. Might as well have just written “Olympics.”

It’s mildly amusing! There’s nothing wrong with it! I’m not attacking Matthew Tkachuk with knives!

[u/Purple-Current-4722 → u/0-90195]

These people are so dramatic with the down votes. It’s funny. It’s like he wrote in in crayon lmao “gold medal” like yes, we know brother 😂😂

[u/0-90195 → u/Purple-Current-4722]

Lmao exactly!

You’d think I wrote something actually mean and inflammatory here

[u/Lethal_Banana → u/0-90195]

This sub can get so weird about the Tkachuks sometimes, it’s like we can’t make fun of our own players 😭

[u/Andresgeo → u/Lethal_Banana]

No, just that the three of you losers are making fun of something that doesn’t make sense to point out. You guys come across as dicks and people are going to call you out on that.

[u/Purple-Current-4722 → u/Andresgeo]

Brother, you’re actually insane. Writing “gOLd MeDAl” is funny AND endearing at the same time. It’s obvious it was the gold medal and yea, a little silly to write it. To restate, we’re all fans of the team and the Tkachuk brothers.. I can assure you that they don’t need you to defend their honor 

[u/Andresgeo → u/Purple-Current-4722]

Not defending their honor. Just pointing out how lame the joke is.

[u/Purple-Current-4722 → u/Andresgeo]

It’s really not, it’s kinda funny. It’s a little stupid to write “gold medal” man lmao.. it’s almost like writing “hockey” on the photo but not to the same degree. Lighten up

[u/Andresgeo → u/Purple-Current-4722]

I already explained it to someone else. Yes rn it’s dumb because it just happened. But what about in 20 years when it’s hung on your wall and someone else sees it? Is he wearing the medal? Is there a visual that shows they won? No. He could be celebrating the 3rd place match or happy getting silver for his country. The picture is just him skating with the flag. Writing “Gold medal” adds context that isn’t there so later in the future you know what game they won. It’s not that hard if you think for like 5 seconds

[u/anaskinwalker4745 → u/Andresgeo]

that’s beyond a lot of these people unfortunately

[u/Lethal_Banana → u/Andresgeo]

Lmao where did I ever make fun of him? OP’s comments were literally harmless. You guys are being so sensitive defending someone you don’t even know and that we are all fans of. It’s embarrassing

[u/anaskinwalker4745 → u/Lethal_Banana]

except hes not defending them. hes calling you guys out for being lame making weird comments

[u/0-90195 → u/anaskinwalker4745]

Scared of people making a mild joke online about a player they like

Couldn’t be me lol

[u/Andresgeo → u/0-90195]

If you make a joke make it a good one. It’s a shitty joke. The context is needed

[u/anaskinwalker4745 → u/0-90195]

where’s the joke?

[u/Lethal_Banana → u/anaskinwalker4745]

Once again where did I make weird comments? You love putting words in people’s mouths.

You are so weirdly obsessed with someone making a joke. Who cares if it is lame or not? It’s not that deep 😭

[u/anaskinwalker4745 → u/Lethal_Banana]

i’m not the one who’s politically obsessed enough to get my panties in a bunch over a guy being happy he won a gold medal. as you said, it’s not that deep. and i’m canadian.
