soooo how bout them Canadian NHL teams...
Yeah, our NHL teams don't do so great. All our players are on the US teams. This is why I don't follow the NHL. I have no reason to root for any team in particular. They're all loaded with Americans, Russians and Swedes. Canadians still make up 51% of the teams, but still.

After these Olympics, I might just start watchign the San Jose Sharks though. Three Canadians there proved to be some of our best guys in the Olympics.
 
I think the USA team actually played Canada more evenly in this game than the last. And I was pretty happy with the play of the Blackhawks olympians all tournament (although Seabrook didn't get much ice time today).

The Senators and Canucks top both of their divisions.

That's not bad considering there's only 6 Canadian teams.

Besides, I'm an old school Oilers fan (from the suburbs of Edmonton). I'm used to cheering for the worst in the league.
 
ATTENTION NON NORTH AMERICANS

We don't give a fuck.

Alternatively

ATTENTION NON NORTH AMERICANS

We mean Ice Hockey, but you know what, we like to shorten the names of things, fuck off.
 
QUESTION TO NON-NORTH AMERICANS:

Isn't it technically called 'association football'?

(I'm not sure if it is, but that's what I've been told.)

nope,

Well, isn't that called Gridiron Football?

All I'm saying is, if Europeans can drop 'Association' from 'Association Football' and have everyone in the world understand what they're saying, and Americans can drop 'Gridiron' or 'American' from 'Gridiron Football' or 'American Football' (as the case may be,) I think we can get away with dropping the 'Ice' from 'Ice Hockey.'

In the states you sound like a douchebag if you call it ice hockey. It's just hockey. Any variation gets its descriptor added to it. For example: field hockey, roller hockey, street hockey, tonsil hockey. If you say 'hockey', it's generally assumed you mean ice hockey.
