I'm rooting for the Canadian hockey team, perhaps even if they play the USA in the finals.

In terms of generating joy for my fellow earthlings, I just think a Canadian win would be "happier". I can easily take joy in the triumphs of people I respect.

I think I could watch it if I understood it. I couldn't stand curling until I learned how to play it, now the strategy and drama is very appealling.

Now, I have to get back to practicing my Queen, We will Rock You cheer for tonights game.

That's so Canadian ;\)

I'm more a root-for-the- underdog person, Canada is no hockey underdog.

I don't know how to play cricket, I know some games take like five days to play, and that is crazy.

EDIT: T-Minus 100 minutes!!

Neither is the USA

Belarus... Now there's an underdog. Their women's hockey team lost last year to Slovakia 82-0.

Hey thanks thats a nice thing to say. When it al comes down to it its just a game. It is our national sport and it would be nice if Canada won since we are hosting the games.

I hope Im right when I say this, Id say football or baseball would be the US national sport and if the US played Canada, you would kick our a$$.
