Pretend what? I've seen plenty of USA v. Canada matches and Americans just don't care enough about Canada to boo them. I don't see what the issue is here. It's some weird, one-way hate coming from y'all. I mean, if y'all want to boo, go ahead. Just don't get pissed when we call you out on it and try and make up lies to cover it up.
It'a sad that Canadians think we have enough time to care either way about your country. I have never, ever met an American who had anything bad to say about Canada or Canadians. Ever.

Thanks NiagraGirl. I got a little carried away and thought I'd save it for another day.

The Czech Republic and Finland are not much bigger hockey nations than us . Percentage wise, sure. But here are the number of players in each country:
US: 500,579
Czech: 100, 668
Finland: 65,251

Indeed. I doubt tourists from overseas see even much of a difference. Same **** with a different name and flag.
I hate when our boys get booed in Canada. Truth be told, the only thing that makes Canada relevant is ifs proximity to us. They know that and it drives them to mindlessly boo teenagers they don't even know. Sad truth, sad country. Yeah I know, your good at hockey. No one off of this board gives a sh•t.
Weird thread is weird. I've been to Canada a few times so I'm no expert but from my experience it's pretty much like the US... except lame chain restaurants like Shoney's are called Golden Dish or something like that.
I think unless we live near the border Americans don't give the Canadians much thought, positive or negative. I think the majority of us assume Canadians are mostly like us, and therefore not really worth thinking about... kinda like how I would never think about Iowa... cuz you know what's the point?
So, guess now that Russia is Canada's REAL rival, the booing will come to a stop...

As in the USA is the little man in hockey so we mock them?
In all seriousness, for me it has simply been a response. Americans have cheered against Canada often to the extent where they boo our anthem. I really don't care who started the trend, I'm just tired of being cheered against by Americans. As a result, I return the favor.
Oh god, shut up...don't call a country sad because a group of 20,000 fans booed a hockey team.
Not likely unless you want Canada to stop considering your country a rival.
foxnews says things infinitely worse about americans and non-canadian countries than about canada.I think it goes beyond just sport. Many American TV commentators, on Fox in particular, take great delight in denigrating Canada in a variety of ways. The most outrageous being that of our military. Many of these personalities don't even know we have been at America's side in Afghanistan for the past 9 years and have lost 157 heroes. This kind of thing, even if it is my a slim minority of Americans, causes many here to get upset.
There are still Americans who claim the 9/11 hijackers came from Canada for petes sake. I guess it is ignorance and misconceptions so many Americans have about our country which many find so upsetting.
so?Oh yes, that's right we're all lieing and there's absolutely never been any Americans bashing Canada, it's a figment of our imaginations.... Go on being oblivious but don't question why Americans are often called that if you choose to have that kind of attitude.
Good for you! After all, all Canadians who have ever encountered any kind of bashing from Americans are liars according to you anyways.
Go ahead, I'm quite fine for Americans to treat us as a major rival, it's a compliment of sorts for sure.
