I don't know what this is all about, but the guy from Pension Plan Puppets is apparently responsible for it.

Hey, even a parody of jingoistic sports fandom is enough to get my American blood pumping. USA! USA! USA!

Lambert and Chemmy (the PPP guy) did a Tumblr page last year during the WJC's, this is just an updated version, I believe. I love the "About" section.

This World Juniors is going to be awesome. All 3 of Canada, Russia, and the USA are icing stronger teams than last year (Chris Peters of the United States of Hockey keeps telling me 1992 is the strongest US hockey birth year ever). And Sweden and Finland are pretty darn good, too. I mean, Finland has the best player in the tournament. And Switzerland might get Nino again... and Latvia and Denmark have 1st round talent on their teams.

Yes, he did. :lol:

Anyways, in this spirit, here's a link to the awesome It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 'Wrestling for the Troops' episode.

Ya too bad but hard to complain about such a great game!

I turned it on at 5-1 in time to see that brutal 6th goal then the comeback effort. They were so close to getting a 6th too. Wow.

It took an Iranian-Finnish centre to finally deliver gold for Sweden.

Great show.
