Most of the team are citizens of other countries. I'm sure they could care less about meeting him. George II Oct 2017 #4

Half the team looks as if they are being held hostage and I see a lot of what I'd call fixed grins.

There are more Canadians on the Penguins than Americans.

He might not know it, but Canada is the country in NAFTA which isn't Mexico. A country he has offended in many ways, besides his comments on the unfairness of NAFTA.

His comments to Burkle regarding "being on the other side" were particularly stupid since Mario Lemieux is Canadian - as is Sidney Crosby who he singled out for praise.

Since Trump seems to believe that Canada is some sort of enemy, it seems especially odd that he praises a team where more than half the jobs have been given to foreign workers
