David Letterman March 1/10 talking Olympic hockey

[pspboy7]

They aren't all from Canada, but mostly yes, it's about 60 to 70% Canadian.

[ralphyization]

Thank you Dave, whether that is actually sincere, or not, let me tell you, there were PARTIES in the STREETS!! From COAST to COAST to COAST!! A gold medal in hockey?? OMG!! We were JACKED!!!

[pspboy7]

Dave was born accidentally in America hehe... love that part.

[Booze129]

4 people are american

CANADA CANADA-USA USA-DAVID DAVID DAVID

[handsomejustin]

OH CANADA WE STAND ON GOD FOR THY!!!! =DDD

[Cxaxakluth]

@handsomejustin **O** Canada, we stand on **GUARD** for **THEE**. Come on dude, if you're going to type it, type it correctly. >.> <.<

[bluenoserr]

@Ishtfan I don't know why someone flagged your message as spam. Maybe they sneezed.

[bluenoserr]

I've heard a lot of American hockey fans say the same sort of thing. They recognise how much more the game means to us, and they were actually happy to see us win and enjoy it so much. That's the sign of a truly great friendship.

[m420carbine4]

Dave is Canadian?

[bluenoserr]

@m420carbine4 There is no more Canadian name than "Dave" (except maybe "Gord" or "Doug"), but no.

[Love4SK]

@bluenoserr ,lol, you watch way to much sctv my friend. maybe in 1980 it was. still waiting for the lumberjacket/kodiak boots craze to come back around.

[bluenoserr]

@Love4SK I know tonnes of Gords and Dougs, but you don't often hear those names outside of Canada. For example: Gordon Pinsent, Gordon Lightfoot, Gordon Howe, are all famous Canucks, but I can only think of one non-Canadian Gordon, and that's Gordon Ramsey.

[Love4SK]

@bluenoserr , my point exactly, the only gords you can name are on average 80 years old.

[Love4SK]

"Maple Leaf Forever" is a far better song than "O Canada" and wouldve made a better natl anthem.

[bluenoserr]

@Love4SK I couldn't agree more. They should have just changed the lyrics so it wouldn't be so anti-French ("In days of yore, from Britain's shore, Wolfe the dauntless hero came, and planted firm, Britannia's flag, o'er Canada's fair domain" would have to go).

[bluenoserr]

@Love4SK

Unless it is played at a fast tempo, "O Canada" sounds like a funeral dirge.

The lyrics suck too. I'm still pissed-off at Harper for waiting until just after the Olympics (when Canada was in a nationalistic frenzy), to raise the longstanding question of whether the anthem should be made gender neutral, and if references to "God" should be removed. The furious and irrational vitriol that most Canadians showed towards that proposal erased much of the new pride in Canada I had acquired.

[Love4SK]

both teams are all from Canada. ya, pretty much dave, pretty much

[SwordPlay2]

I had an american friend of mine tell me that he loves our anthem too, and he wanted to switch. Canada loves Dave!

[NYIJK10]

Yea Dave, TEAM USA's players are all from Canada. What an astounding deduction Letterman. *Facepalm* Can someone please explain to me how that's funny?

[m420carbine4]

@NYIJK10 he's referring to people that play hockey (most people think of canadians) so even players on team usa he jokes, are from canada.

[Torontorocks96]

So happy Canada won.

[hockeychickadee]

Go Canada!

[canada995]

oh CANADA :)

[Love4SK]

haha, they are all Canadian. classic

[Love4SK]

actually Canadas dream matchup would have been Canada/Russia, Crosby/Ovechkin, but yes, Canada is usa's dream opponent.

[m420carbine4]

@Love4SK no your dream match up. just two top players doesn't make for a good game.

[Zorn27]

classy dave classy :)

[macarthur19]

Paul Shaffer is Canadian. wooo he was happy.

[103Uke]

I'm suprised they applauded Dave after what he said, they had a right to boo him, but as a Canadian, I'm glad they cheered.

[theurbansoul]

I kinda wish Crosby had been able to go on Letterman it would've be fun.

[Jenn1066]

I'm Canadian, and now I love Dave Letterman more than ever.

[harbeh]

i have new respect for letterman=)

[njam101]

Very kind works from Letterman.

Paul Shaffer is originally from Thunder Bay, Northern Ontario!

[rachelx1129]

haha this is good. Dave knows he wanted America to win ;) jk. But yeah great job to both teams. Amazing tournament. All the players should hold their heads high!

[myk010]

that's why i like dave more than leno or any of them. he's actually in tune to what's going on in the world...

[makecent]

It was so nice to see Canadians giving a standing ovation to both US men and women hockey teams. I was disappointed when Pittsburg Penguins fans booed Crosby's goal after all the things he has done for that team.

[gymguy25]

I loved the way the Canadian fans gave an ovation to the US players after the game during the medal ceremonies, particularly for Miller who got the MVP of the tournament and deservedly so. Canadian hockey fan who will always be 100% Canadian but loves the US too.

[RatedRForLife]

we dont necessarily love the US we just respect a good game. and miller was deserving of the MVP.

[dishwithtrish]

I've always luved you Dave, all the way from Canada !!!

[fleming010101]

Nice try dave, you have already done a skit very similar to this. Nice try tho, next time give your writers less sick days bud..

[hemicharger]

Why did the poster cut the video off before Dave sung O'Canada, that was the best part!

[EuropeanDeity]

is miller canadian?

[julianlover195]

God, no. He's from Michigan. And, he's lived in Western New York for 8 years, so I consider him a native New Yorker now.

[jsmallwood2007]

this video should be included in the wikipedia definition of good sportsmanship...cheers Dave

[connore99]

sweet!

[dacrimespot23]

Paul is canadian :)

[TillThenPlease]

Ya, Dave!

[bigbosco75]

I've always liked Dave better than Jay, this just reinforces it! Thanks Dave from a happy Canadian hockey fan!

[smoky44ca]

I am canadian. Peace

[L4P]

You've got class Dave!

We're truly a proud bunch of Canucks!!!

[mattdawson07]

Canada Loves Dave!!!!

[nocturne583]

Just when the chin starts up again Dave gives us another reason to love him!

[SNK038]

Some of the American players had Canadian parents (moved to the US to play for NHL teams in the 80s usually) but they were all American born. Glad you like hockey Dave! Totally not watching Leno again.

[heartthatmatters]

You rock Dave! You are the best!

[aceofspades79]

that's why dave's the best.... pure class... love it!

[philly080]

dave's the best there is, and this is why!

[2000boxter]

Lot's of class for him to do that....

[Burltron]

Awesome!

[missyc79]

Dave is a very bright man!

[jordandegroote]

Adda boy, Dave.
