February 28, 201016 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 28, 2010 -> 04:33 PM) I am American. I care. The American players who are playing their f***ing asses off care. And for those of us that don't normally watch hockey, it's been pretty damn entertaining.
February 28, 201016 yr I'll admit that the humiliation of all things Canadian is part of my rooting interest.
February 28, 201016 yr I'm just rooting for the culture it will have the biggest effect on. I'm sorry but no one here will care tomorrow either way except for the 25 real hockey fans and the players. This is everything to the Canucks.
February 28, 201016 yr if you were born and raised in the usa and you're rooting for canada you're a piece of s***. bottom line.
February 28, 201016 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2010 -> 04:35 PM) Some stunned silence in the Canadian crowd. Yeah because if Luongo could just catch the damn puck the game would be over..

Im rooting for Canada, you can think what you will of that but just because you were born and raised in the USA it doesn't mean you are required to only like USA teams..

Tell that to the 1980 team.
February 28, 201016 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 28, 2010 -> 04:38 PM) No one here will care tomorrow? Tell that to the 1980 team. Way different circumstances. The importance of that game had very little to do with hockey.
February 28, 201016 yr I still think if you're an American hockey fan, if something can happen that can make hockey more important to Americans, and, especially, the WWLIS or any other sports media in America, I would think you'd want that.
February 28, 201016 yr A win will only add to the general cultural feeling of complete superiority for a lot of Americans. That's gotta count for something.

Its your country, really pathetic to root for Canada vs USA. If they were facing Russia or whoever else its fine but otherwise......

I'm not a hockey fan. So I'm rooting for Canada. If other people weren't watching this I'd be watching Nuggets/Lakers.

February 28, 201016 yr Author this is a young, fun USA hockey team. Fans who don't normally watch hockey are into it. My mother knows who patrick kane is todat. Some new fans of the NHL are being bron. This is great.
February 28, 201016 yr QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 28, 2010 -> 04:43 PM) That's the exact reason I'm rooting for the Canadians. I can't stand that mindset. Exactly. Me too. I hate these new fangled hockey fans that I had never seen in my entire life that act like this is so big for them. Also, we already "won" the olympics, Canada can have hockey. It's their thing.

February 28, 201016 yr A US win or a game-winning goal by Toews or Keith would be fine with me. edit and no matter who wins, this has been a hell of a game. Edited February 28, 201016 yr by StrangeSox
