StrangeSox Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I'll admit that the humiliation of all things Canadian is part of my rooting interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjshoe04 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 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.

Heads22 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 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.

StrangeSox Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 A win will only add to the general cultural feeling of complete superiority for a lot of Americans. That's gotta count for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

StrangeSox Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) 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.
