Germany Issued a 'Travel Advisory' After Beating Team Canada in Hockey

It was a sad morning in Canada when the men’s hockey team lost the semifinal game to Team Germany at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. However, the REAL game began after our 4-3 loss yesterday (February 23).

The German Foreign Office, which is based in Berlin, tweeted out a tongue-in-cheek ‘travel advisory’ warning Germans living in Canada to be extra nice.

Travel advisory: Germans in Canada should exercise a high degree of empathy. Be nice, don’t gloat, give hugs, buy rounds of hot chocolate.

Just imagine how you would feel if Canada beat us in soccer

Of course, Canada responded in the BEST WAY.

Thanks @GermanyDiplo. Congrats on your first shot at gold! We remember our first gold medal match in #IceHockey like it was yesterday… 1920 to be exact. #PyeongChang2018 pic.twitter.com/3rKIonBGDN

So much sass! It was still a happy ending for Team Canada, as they won bronze in Men’s Hockey after beating the Czech Republic earlier today 6-4. I would still LOVE a round of hot chocolate, though. Danke, Deutschland!
