P.K. Subban’s ‘thanks for coming’ comment after Canada loss draws reaction

Team USA ended a 40+ year drought when it came to winning gold at the Winter Olympics as they put Canada down 2-1 in OT to secure their first gold medal since 1980 -- 46 years to the day in fact.

While there was certainly a lot of controversy when it came to the game considering how wonky the officiating was, and yet another missed call is making a lot of people wonder exactly why things went ignored -- but there's something else fans are upset with.

As it turns out, former Team Canada defenceman and retired NHL player P.K. Subban managed to make a lot of his countrymen dislike him instantly.

After Team USA scored to win the game, Subban posted a video on his X account of him celebrating the victory, seemingly mocking Canada's loss and praising the US' victory:

Subban's X post was referring to Jack Hughes' OT winner, but it was the fan reaction afterwards that's the real discussion point. Several pointed tp the fact that Subban has played for Team Canada before, and his sudden shift to the other side is a shock:

Safe to say, Subban is not endearing himself to fans in Canada and one fan simply put it as blunt as they could (albeit with the anger of a thousand suns):

Colourful language aside, Subban has drawn lots of criticism for his actions recently along the political landscape and his attitude towards his own country has definitely made a lot of fans turn their backs on the former Montreal Canadien.

While anyone is free to cheer on who they would like, the fact that Subban did so with such boldness is what's bothering fans. He's a Canadian, and they would hope he would act as such -- with grace; not arrogance.
