Hockey Minister Fran&ccedil;ois-Philippe LeBlanc said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s our national sport and, boy, when a Canadian loses, a Canadian gets sad, and when a Canadian gets sad, well, it&rsquo;s just too much to handle sometimes.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto;

Bronze and gold are the only winners on the podium, making the Canadian team cry even more.<\/p>\n<p>To add insult to injury, the Canadian team flew back to North America by way of Miami, Florida, where the American team spent a night partying and singing the American National Anthem before coming to Washington, D.C., to attend President Donald Trump&rsquo;s State of the Union Address.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <span class=\"0ji2HRC3LBDGxnHuQqxIs8uX6wY78MAbq2zOnUwjeB0eio1Z7dWAZ1OKSE9rob5dhImPRXGySLpFVJ6tEch5lc9kgVQm\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The US hockey team rolled into E11ven night club in Miami and led the club in singing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-womens-soccer-team-kneels-for-anthem-wears-black-lives-matter\/\" title=\"US Women&#039;s Soccer ...
