Twitter reacts to Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden’s Habs-Bolts bet

Last night marked the beginning of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning. Game 1 didn’t go so well for the Habs, with the Bolts winning 5–1 and outshooting Montreal 27–19.

During the game, Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau wrote to U.S. President Joe Biden about whether he’d be interested in a “friendly wager.” Biden replied in classic Biden fashion, with, “You’re on pal.”

The details of the bet are still unclear, Twitter has been flooded with comments making suggesting for what the stakes should be. (It will most likely involve the loser having to wear the other team’s jersey for a photo op.) Check out some of the ones that caught our eye below.

If Tampa Bay wins, Canada gets Trump.

If @TBLightning win, we get Canada’s healthcare system, their maternity and paternity leave, their subsidized prescription drugs, subsidized university tuition and their minimum wage. #GoBolts #NHL #tampabaylightning

Joe Biden just accepted Justin Trudeau’s friendly wager regarding the Montreal Canadiens vs. Tampa Bay Lightning in the #StanleyCup Finals.

If the Canadiens win, @Potus will wear the Montreal jersey for a day. If Tampa Bay wins, Ted Cruz will be shipped back to Canada.

Deal?
