I don't get how a Canadian got the Stanley Cup. Isn't it only won by American teams?

I'm quoting this because I want to also love the post.

You're saying you like it, you love it, you want some more of it? You try just so hard, but you can't rise above it?

No that's the Olympic men's hockey cup, which is only won by Canada.

No, they would have.

The reason why there's a bunch of international ice hockey tournaments is so Canada can feel good about winning something... other than the one trophy they haven't won since 1993.

Frank · Jan 24, 2015

So salty.

jwhouk · Jan 24, 2015

So truthy.

You realize that, prior to the 1990's, international tournaments were an afterthought in Canada? That was primarily because they weren't winning them.

Here is a comprehensive list of Stanley Cup winning teams that have not featured at least one member of the Canadian Olympic Team, since NHLers could join the Olympics:

The Red Wings, if you don't count coaches.

From 1960 onwards to 1990, there was only one team winning international tournaments.

That country no longer exists - no matter what Vladimir Putin may believe.

I have decided and ruled that the fictional character that most resembles @Jay is Gomez Adams played by Raul Julia.

You may now return to your Valentizing.
