If the American team had won and done that Canadian posters would have taken to thier forums the way other peoples take to the streets to express their outrage. It reeks of poor sportsmanship and sets a poor example. Suppose the US men win tomorrow even though I would assume they are very much the under dogs. They can come back out on the ice, still in uniforms and skates, drink and smoke and you Canadians will find that perfectly OK?
No, they won't do that, american or canadian men, they will
celebrate their victory on the ice, mill around for awhile,
then take their teams into the dressingrooms, and the victor
will do the celebrations there, in private.
Sometimes the stanley cup has some champaigne in it, and
is sipped by various players, but that is a ritual, and
is soon over, any other drinking or smoking of cigars etc.,
will be done in the dressing room, unless of course this
is is a new version of 'after the game celebrations', so
maybe the men are out buying the cigars too, and will do
the same, it will be a first.
lol
