Whether you love hockey or not, tonight\u2019s match is a must watch<\/em>. For sports, political reasons, or any other, the Canada\/United States matchup is sure to draw a large audience.<\/p>\n

<\/inj-p><\/p>\n

This game is so important that even Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is present. He made an Instagram post.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/inj-p><\/p>\n

Well-known personalities like Carey Price, GSP, and George Kittle are there too, by the way.<\/a><\/p>\n

Donald Trump, however, is not in Montreal tonight, but he is on the minds of many.<\/p>\n

<\/inj-p><\/p>\n

Indeed, during the Sweden-Finland match (won by Finland in overtime)<\/a>, a fan was spotted wearing a Canadian Trump jersey with the number 51. The image circulating on social media is really causing a stir.<\/p>\n

\n

Imagine being such a fucking idiot\u2026<\/p>\n

And these are the same people who called \u00absheep\u00bb and \u00abtraitors\u00bb fellow Canadians who were trying their best to protect others in the face of uncertainty a few years ago.<\/p>\n

Scum of the earth. #4Nations<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/DVxH04cSHO<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, I imagine the fan was trying to make a joke, but it really didn\u2019t land.<\/p>\n

<\/inj-p><\/p>\n

To add a bit more context, the American president has stated his desire to annex Canada and make the northern country the 51st state of the United States. Hence the number 51 on the back.<\/em><\/p>\n

I won\u2019t repeat what was said in the comments of the post, but it did not go over well. I invite you to take a look.<\/p>\n

Given the circumstances of the past few weeks, the country\u2019s economic situation, and the stakes on the ice this Saturday night, it may not have been a joke to make in this context in the eyes of many.<\/p>\n

Did the guy leave the Bell Centre in one piece? Did he dare to show up at tonight\u2019s much-anticipated match\u2026?<\/em><\/p>\n

Note that, unsurprisingly, despite Michel Lacroix\u2019s calls, the American national anthem was booed during tonight\u2019s game. I\u2019m not surprised.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/inj-p><\/p>\n

As for the Canadian national anthem: just chills!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a nutshell<\/h2>\n

\u2013 Hey guys!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hearing the concession staff at the Bell Centre is charging anyone wearing a USA jersey 25% more on any purchases.<\/p>\n
