Been geeking out on the 6 Day race data 🤓👟! Up to 200K steps/day 111 hrs moving time/33hrs stop time 560+ mi = 11:53/mi moving pace Slept ~1.5 hrs/day 😵💫 If I cut stop time in ½ = +66 mi → 627 mi 🤔. This is 3.6% off the men’s WR (645 mi). How much can you suffer?
“We actually ended up using America’s favourite strategy against them,” said Connor McDavid. “I wanted the trophy, so I took it without asking them what they thought.” ❤️🇨🇦🏆
THIS should have been Canada's honourary Captain.
Tonight is war people, never forget this iconic quote by Hayley Wickenheiser #4Nations
My condolences to Premier Trump of the losing province of the USA
You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.
Canada’s flag being raised and the national anthem being sung in Boston. USA. 51st state…😂😂😂 11th province maybe? #4Nations
Tonight is war people, never forget this iconic quote by Hayley Wickenheiser #4Nations
This might be the biggest Canada-Russia game since ‘72!
I really believe that like everyone else, Wayne Gretzky is entitled to support whomever he wants. And while he's done a ton for Canadian hockey, making him the Honorary Captain for Team Canada for this game is just plain tone deaf.
Sid and I were just a couple of baby faces the last time a game of this magnitude was on the line. Hoping @S_Crosby87 and Team Canada can come up big again tonight! GO 🇨🇦 GO!!! #4Nations
A perfect representation of how tariffs work…
Dear America, We're not booing your hockey players. We're not booing your country. We're not even booing you. We're booing your asshole of a president who keeps threatening our sovereignty for zero reason. Once he leaves us alone it'll stop. Hope that clears it up for you.
