He entered the ice from the American bench, gave a thumbs up to the American players, and appeared to not even acknowledge Canada nor wear any gear for the team.Gretzky:Enters through US benchGives thumbs up to US playersWears no red or NOTHING repping CanadaDoesn’t even look Team Canada’s wayHe’s a traitor & MAGA cowardGood riddance. #4nations pic.twitter.com/1YqguI3yqF— Alex 🇨🇦 (@alex_upnorth) February 21, 2025Gretzky hasn't exactly kept his political thoughts hidden over the last...
