What’s controversial about it? Just an American fan base chanting USA. Haven’t even seen anyone say it was controversial

Canadians and Europeans are shaking at the mere mention of three letters said one after the other.

For over a century, the smartest people on Earth have failed to find logic and reason in the mind of a Bostonian.
Pity them and move on.

It’s just weird. This isn’t a battle of Nations.

If you’ve been to Boston you wouldn’t be surprised by this news.

Not controversial, just stupid.

Controversial? Isn’t it just a bit cringe?

As a wrestling fan growing up in the 80’s, the USA chants will always be funny to me.
Just makes me think of Hacksaw Jim Duggan carrying the 2×4. Part of me wants to jump up and do his , thumbs up, tongue out, HOOOO!

I wouldn’t chant USA, but because Canada has dominated international games over USA, due to my jealousy I do enjoy not having Canadian teams win the cup since 93.

Not controversial, Americans just ain’t very bright

Patriotism was practically invented in Boston circa 1773. This shouldn’t be surprising

People sing something dumb, gets made fun of…
Why are people so triggered 😂😂

Pretty well all of bostons icons have been Canadian, and the Leafs’ current one is American. Average townie intelligence. What % of the league is Canadian vs American? Right

Who the hell is acting like this is strange? It happens all the time when a USA team faces a Canadian team in the playoffs. People acting like this is weird must be very new to hockey, or very new to watching playoff hockey.

American Bruins fan here. The Chant is dumb.

We were chanting USA and singing Ole’ because it was FUNNY. Hockey Reddit had no sense of humor and hates fun.

I don’t know why anyone from either country would think anything of this. The best player on the Canadian team is from Arizona. The captain of the American team is from Nova Scotia.
Ignorance exists everywhere.

But… right? Map is accurate.
I don’t get the outrage.

If this is how I can piss off Leafs fans every time they invade Nationwide, I will absolutely do it. Thanks for the inspiration, Boston.
mattcojo2
Yeah the people upset about that are absolute idiots.
The place they played in last night, is in America.
The team they root for is in America.
What’s the big fucking deal? “Oh the players…” they play on an AMERICAN TEAM it’s not about them.
Imagine if you got upset that the Alabama crimson tide chanted “Alabama” because not every player is from Alabama.

Can we get a Canada sucks chant for game 2? That would be controversial.

On a scale of being Massholes this is very mid.

Funnily enough, bruins captain = Canadian, Leafs captain = American
xtzferocity
How is it controversial? Are people stupid? It’s a flex that the US markets win and Canada has the leafs
CriticalAd3618
I understand why people think it’s dumb, considering people of all nationalities are on these teams.
But also we’re cheering the jerseys right? So like this post says, Toronto versus Boston. USA vs Canada.
But also it’s just a dumb chant, who cares?
I’m far far far far more offended that the Bruins faithful started the Ole chant. Keep that shit in Montreal for Gods sake
