I am Canadian but I thought the chant was asinine.
It is one thing to cheer for a team and against the US as a rival , but these are kids at an international tournement and that sort of taunting is ridiculous and embarrasing.
The booing of the American player of the game was dumb also as was the booing of the Czech player just becuse the fans wanted another choice.
I thought the article dissing this tounnement was sour grapes by a Sportsnet writer for the success of TSN in promoting this tourney.
But this display of Canadian fans acting like louts toward a bunch of kids is not something we can be proud of.
It's a hockey game. Fans cheer and boo, and they were showing respect towards Mrazek and I'm sure Holik even thought Mrazek should have gotten the player of the game.
It's hockey, not some classy event where you are supposed to be on your best behavior.
