63 h. ago Questions about Wayne Gretzky's allegiance to Canada surface during 4 Nations

Even over a quarter century after his last NHL game, few people in the sporting world can draw eyeballs quite like Wayne Gretzky.Prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game last night in Boston, Gretzky joined Team Canada captain Sidney Crosby, American captain Auston Matthews, and 1980 Olympic gold medallist Mike Eruzione for the ceremonial puck drop.Gretzky was named the honorary captain on the evening for Team Canada, but it wasn't without a few eyebrows being raised. 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...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was ready following Team Canada's OT win over the United States.Following Connor McDavid's electrifying golden goal to secure Canada the 4 Nations championship, Trudeau took to social media with a subtle jab at U.S. President Donald Trump."You can't take our country — and you can't take our game," Trudeau wrote.You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) February 21, 2025This comes after a relentless series of statements made by Trump referring to Canada as the 51st American state. This strange statement was first made by the 78-year-old president back in December and was initially played off by many as a joke. As he continued to say it, however, it started rubbing some Canadians the wrong way.Notably, he has referred to Trudeau as the "governor" of Canada rather than the prime minister. Trump repeated the statement Thursday in a post...
