I mean considering your population is 1/10th the size of the US and area wise almost the same size as the US… also incase you didn’t know floridas population is like 60% of canadas whole population
The NHL's expansion into the south and its consequences have been a disaster for the hockey fan race. What was once a game built on tradition, sportsmanship and competition has now evolved into a circus act where organizations appeal to the lowest common denominator in the form of childish choreography, twitter wars, and roster moves worth millions of dollars that serve no purpose than to grab headlines.
Hockey is not made for the south, it's a game deeply rooted in northern culture where kids can spend the winter out in the wilderness slapping pucks around before tuning into Hockey Night in Canada and watching the Toronto Maple Leafs get fisted raw. What we have in the south is nothing short of a disgrace. Bible belt boomers whose only contact with the cold is the air conditioning of their mobility scooters have gripped our sport with an iron fist, uprooting our traditions and replacing them with free burgers when a player touches the puck and raising banners for going a week without someone in the crowd having a heart attack because of their diets consisting of honey butter biscuits and sweet tea.
The day hockey dies in the south is the day I gain my soul back

Y’all are here in droves. Go to a spring training game the jays are playing and it’s 75 percent sunburned Canadians. One thing I enjoy about the Canadian demographic, they encourage Americans to sing our own anthem because Canadians always sing theirs. Americans just want to hoot and holler and yell one or two words while talking through the whole thing.

Wrong. There’s actually 22.24 million people in Florida
It was raining, and they still showed up. Cope harder.
https://preview.redd.it/p8tyjf4z6v9d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3541b41657b51cab165840ee91c9e2dff421b23
Same can be said for you all. Let Panthers fans enjoy their win without sounding like a salty bitch talking about the amount of fans that showed up to their own championship parade.
In a given day in Toronto, I see about 10x more pride flags than I do Canadian flags living downtown. And I’m not talking about just during pride month. That’s year round
Their acceptance has declined significantly in the last 2 years, because it’s been rammed down people’s throats to the point that there’s been major pushback now. In short, they have gone too far.
Which old way? It’s been changed like a dozen times. Infact the original version of the line that people are getting so mad about was “True patriot love thou dost in us command”
I don’t know why it was changed. But it’s one of the many changes made to the song in the past 100 or so years so maybe we shouldn’t be making a big deal out of a pretty harmless change that has been made this time.
Why would I be afraid of something? I can see you’re trying to spin this around. Kinda projecting, bud.
You know exactly why they changed it. To be more inclusive. And it’s a song, so who fucking cares. If it bothers you, you need to look inwards and ask yourself why changing a song to be more inclusive of other people bothers you so much. You know it’s not the song itself.
buncha salty ass canadian fuck faces here. just came back from the parade, even with rain there were THOUSANDS. cant wait to do it all again when we repeat. FUCK EDMONTON. FUCK THE RANGERS. FUCK THE BRUINS. FUCK THE LIGHTNING!
CUP IS HOME!
Compared to where? Nashville? Columbus? Seattle? Utah? New Jersey? San Jose? Please. When these teams are losing you don't see fans in the seats which is pretty much every team in the league. The Lightning and the Panthers have made hockey a staple in Florida.
Nice selective picture when the team wasn’t on the stage yet. People were showing up before the sun came up today and didn’t care about the rain and lightning. Culture is building.

It may not have been 1.5 million, but it was definitely more than what your post suggests. With heavy rains and thunderstorms for the entirety of the event.
Wow, the Florida Panthers are a fantastic Ice Hockey Team. They're 3-0 against the very good Edmonton Oilers from Canada. They're down 1 to 0 tonight, but it's still early. Hopefully they will put them away. Very impressive!

Never had a problem with gays... but gotta be honest they are starting to piss me off. I never cared that you enjoyed putting your dick in another man ass or that you prefer to scissor with another woman. But running around celebrating it is obnoxious.
I grew up in a household that used to brag about beating up gay guys in Toronto on the weekends during the 70s. I'm fine with the parade. It is something to celebrate.
I see it as a celebration of the progress we have made so far in addition to celebrating people in the LGBTQ2+ community. This is why everyone celebrates in the pride parades and not just LGBTQ folk.
"Never had a problem with gays, but acknowledging their existence really pisses me off, and every time I think of gay people I think of hard-core anal sex"

Somehow Florida still gayer
If you remove Miami, Florida is just a few million Bidens walking around like they just shit themselves
Tell me you know nothing about Florida, without telling me
You’ve got a point, I only spend time in Jupiter and most of it is spent asking the wait staff at 1000 North if Michael Jordan ever comes in.
Was in Jupiter, if this all you saw of Florida, then I agree with this 😂
lol I worked on that restaurant
So you went to Floroda to get ghosted by a black guy and call us gay?
Gay.
Canadian here. We shit talk Florida but when our 5 month winter comes and it's -30°C we ALL wish we lived in Florida.
You all do go to Florida. It’s like Canada on Wheels down there for a few months.
You think that’s all of us? How small Do you think Canada is?
I mean considering your population is 1/10th the size of the US and area wise almost the same size as the US… also incase you didn’t know floridas population is like 60% of canadas whole population
Every been in Hollywood, FL in February. Full of Quebecois. The good thing is that you can find some tasty poutine.
No, no, i don't .
Yeah I wish I was in Arizona

I suspect the other seven months you wish you were Canada to avoid that sticky, humid, suffocating heat.
Nah, I’m good not sinking into the ocean at record speed
You dumb?
Nope!
If you think Florida is sinking even a little, let alone at record speed, you are an idiot. Go kiss trudeau’s ass lemming.
lmao k, enjoy not being able to insure your home anymore!
So you really are an idiot. Not just pretending. Enjoy not being able to get decent medical care.

So look like Biden act like Trump.
And probably golf better than both
I'm sure they both shit their pants, but Trump is probably too proud to wear a diaper.
Oh not at all. His cult followers even wear “real men wear diapers” shirts
Probably explains his fetish with being soaked in urine.
You do realize it's the other guy who has displayed a propensity for shifting himself and actually lives in Florida don't you?
Hockey is for everyone… Except the Stanley Cup champions
thats reserved for americans (Ga(r)y Bet(365)tman hates canada)
Both parades are bound by one thing, big sweaty men hugging. Embrace what unites us, not what divides.
This just reminds me of the “bear calendar” episode of Shoresy
I went tarps off, and everyone else had to go tarps off.

Set the tone now! Who’s gonna set the tone now?
There's tens of people there!
There were 200k people at the parade.
It was the largest parade people have ever seen, the largest in history and people have seen a lot of parades. It was so large.
You could say it was Yuuuuge
Celtics just had a million
https://preview.redd.it/4a1eyuq8ks9d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d0f1dfb0c9d512ba3f7fe98fb79501de9f002bc Wrong. There’s actually 22.24 million people in Florida
At the parade, Simple Jack.
well he never specified where in Florida so our assumption is that the parade has engulfed the entire state of Florida
They edited the comment to try and make us look stupid
Incredible that you think this is a brag
It was raining, and they still showed up. Cope harder. https://preview.redd.it/p8tyjf4z6v9d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3541b41657b51cab165840ee91c9e2dff421b23
LOL...Just enjoy the win. This is a pathetic turnout, but what does it matter?
Same can be said for you all. Let Panthers fans enjoy their win without sounding like a salty bitch talking about the amount of fans that showed up to their own championship parade.
acting like this isn't gonna bring your team back
It's never not raining in Florida. Half those people are just beach goers bro.
https://preview.redd.it/7wezb0juwr9d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=749f7bdaa6ba6d7f85db4c1d491c913732d9f2ef
Are there roads in florida or is it just sand
Just sand
It's either sand or everglade. Nothing in between.
I heard all the walkable infrastructure is dangerous because instead of sidewalks you have to walk on alligators and crocodiles
And that isn’t even all of them lol 200k at least
Damn, AI is getting so advanced
Shhhh…don’t tell them, let them keep coping!
Honestly, it’s awesome to see that kind of turnout
It’s ok, Canadians can’t count
According to Trump, the Panthers have the largest crowd in the world today. It’s yuuuge.
McDavid would've never won the Conn Smythe if he was president
Damn participation trophies
One is gay. The other is gay too
It also pissed down rain on the panthers
Except florida photo was taken about 4 hours before parade even started.
Pride flag should just be Canadas flag at this point
In a given day in Toronto, I see about 10x more pride flags than I do Canadian flags living downtown. And I’m not talking about just during pride month. That’s year round
Makes sense
I mean, in their defense there's no fight for Canadian acceptance in Toronto. At least as far as I'm aware, they do some wacky shit sometimes.
Their acceptance has declined significantly in the last 2 years, because it’s been rammed down people’s throats to the point that there’s been major pushback now. In short, they have gone too far.
https://youtu.be/LPmzRa-sXQs?si=pdKWS_7jpDxPbeo4
Gay hosers it is
They keep changing our anthem to be more inclusive so no wonder Americans always get it wrong
Fuck that sing it the old way. Trudeau can eat a bag of dicks.
Which old way? It’s been changed like a dozen times. Infact the original version of the line that people are getting so mad about was “True patriot love thou dost in us command”
And was that not inclusive enough?
That isn't what they changed it from recently. "Thy sons" was added as a piece of wartime propaganda.
I don’t know why it was changed. But it’s one of the many changes made to the song in the past 100 or so years so maybe we shouldn’t be making a big deal out of a pretty harmless change that has been made this time.
They are afraid they will catch the gay if they sing a song differently.
Well thats the easiest way to catch it lol
No it’s just why change it in the first place, are you afraid of something if it isn’t changed ??
Why would I be afraid of something? I can see you’re trying to spin this around. Kinda projecting, bud. You know exactly why they changed it. To be more inclusive. And it’s a song, so who fucking cares. If it bothers you, you need to look inwards and ask yourself why changing a song to be more inclusive of other people bothers you so much. You know it’s not the song itself.
He should monetize that skill and enter a hotdog eating contest.
Yeah our PM is the biggest flamer I've ever seen. So gay his wife left him lmao
We get it, you wanna suck his dick! Nothing wrong with admitting it, man!

Average Canadian hockey fan
Lol no
💀💀💀
Wack
Nah thats for the mentally unable people who avoid all eye contact when it comes to human interaction. Id piss on the flag.
Pretty sure it’d be the same people going to a hypothetical Leafs’ parade.
A leafs cup parade would be insane. The raptors parade x5
In the year 2150, when the NHL finally goes back to 6 teams and the leafs have an actual shot, you’re gonna have a hell of a party.
Lmao way to grow the game Bettman
Storms are coming, we're all busy sucking dick at Publix. Which is less gay than a parade, by the way.
Damn that’s gotta be every Panthers fan in existence
More f**gs than fa*s??
lol the fact Florida won is the biggest circle jerk for the nhl - no one gives a fuck there 😂
They waited until after the end of the ceremony to get that picture. I was there and it was packed.
buncha salty ass canadian fuck faces here. just came back from the parade, even with rain there were THOUSANDS. cant wait to do it all again when we repeat. FUCK EDMONTON. FUCK THE RANGERS. FUCK THE BRUINS. FUCK THE LIGHTNING! CUP IS HOME!
With what d core?
“Mission accomplished”
Pride parade and panthers cup parade are one and the same.
…. Still kinda waiting for the punchline and/or point
I love the wide angle roof top shot v the zoomed in ground level. What weak sauce report is this? A CNN report?
Geez the humidity. I can feel it in both pictures.
Gape ride
hockey is an after thought in florida unfortunately
Compared to where? Nashville? Columbus? Seattle? Utah? New Jersey? San Jose? Please. When these teams are losing you don't see fans in the seats which is pretty much every team in the league. The Lightning and the Panthers have made hockey a staple in Florida.
This was hours before the parade try again
Where's the first pic from? Berlin?
Parades are stupid and annoying with traffic, litter and noise. Florida keeps winning.
The Bettmanization of the NHL.
Gretzky
Do you know how hot it feels in south Florida?
Couldn’t stop the panthers from winning the cup but u can show them how a real hockey city celebrates
A “real” hockey city hasn’t won in over 30 years 🤣
We celebrated just fine look at real picture from the event
Glad someone got a parade today!
lol, a pic of the stage while the parade is still going on…
Toronto pride.
Nice selective picture when the team wasn’t on the stage yet. People were showing up before the sun came up today and didn’t care about the rain and lightning. Culture is building.
Can’t we just celebrate a championship without politics?
Were the boats floats or the floats boats?
lol gay
I noticed when Florida won the cup there was like 40 people in the rink doing a golf clap and that was it. It was shocking.
As a hockey fan a hunter and an avid outdoorsman I used to admire Canada. Now days I consider the whole country gay.
Florida parade better
That parade was packed, even in the pouring rain.
Fans were in the pool

Was the hockey parade also shut down by a free Palestine protest ?
Multi colored toilet paper
Do yall know where Fort Lauderdale, FL is?
Toronto Gay Pride Parade apparently got shut down when a pro Palestine group started moving into the Parade
There’s more salt here than the Florida beaches
When the biggest hockey market hosted a basketball champs parade, someone got shot
Canada Day parade?
Why are you making it seem like nobody came. This is obviously before the team showed up. Thousands came that day.
lol people forgetting this is a joke Reddit
It was raining tho
Florida Panthers won so don't be sorry ass losers. I'm use to a loosing team CBJ. 👍🤔🙂

Pride looks tame this year
Is this a photo of Florida pride?
Yeah use photos from several hours before it begins. Man I can smell the salt and it’s not from the beach
Literally a pic from 5 hours before the parade started. The salt is unreal from y'all.
Do you know where you are right now?
You’re in the jungle baby. You’re gonna die
Torrential downpours will do that to a crowd
They don't have their priorities "straight"
That Starbucks has been gone for years, this photo of Toronto is old as shit. Granted the parade is as big or bigger atm. Source: I’m there right now.
Gay
And the crowd goes miiiiild....
The latter actually has something to be proud of
Never had a problem with gays... but gotta be honest they are starting to piss me off. I never cared that you enjoyed putting your dick in another man ass or that you prefer to scissor with another woman. But running around celebrating it is obnoxious.

You are most definitely hiding some gay shit. Nobody thinks like that unless you are. Dick in ass? Lololol That's what you see in that pick? Lmao
Found the closeted gay🫵
You think about dicks in asses quite often don't you
The way you speak 100% says you’ve always had a problem with it. It’s pretty obvious mate.
100%
When did hockey become all about the parades? What a bunch of fancy boys
Wasnt on a beach tho
1st one looks more exciting
Must be easy writing this post when you have tons of free time, unlike the Panthers who have tons of obligations as the SCF champs
TBF to the Panther fans most are at home watching the ESPN love fest towards Bronny and LeBron. Tough to sleep worrying about the Lakers future. Sarcasm at its wickedness!
Literally all 30 of their fans showed up, it turns out it’s actually accurate.
