City Of Boston Owns Up To Lost Hockey Bet, Mocks Canada With Tiny Habs Flag

America’s Cover Band, Canada, gets one over on the US of A and then immediately gets dropped back down a peg, just for being Canada.

The mayors of Boston and Montreal made a friendly wager before the Bruins-Canadiens series: losing team had to fly the winning team’s flag over their city hall. The Habs (I won’t pretend to be hockey knowledgeable – I learned of the “Habs” nickname today) won the series, and Boston paid their debt like assholes. The baby flag will remain there for one week, although few will notice it.

Winning ungraciously, losing like assholes: the American way. Well done, Boston.

      You’re making us look bad. If you weren’t a bandwagoner you’d know that losing is what we did years since the late 60’s. Be grateful we get to watch good hockey and don’t be an asshole about it.

    Having an American flag over 4 times the size of a Canadian hockey flag. TFM.

      I’d say that’s a pretty normal move considering it’s our nation’s flag vs a hockey team’s flag….on another note. Fuck Canada

    ” [. . .] losing like assholes”. America does not lose. We never have, and we never will.
