I stand by the sentiment. well you're from canada, that is your one time to beat USA in hockey, seeing as a canadian team didnt win the stanley cup since 93 (while the kings won twice ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only NHL team I care about are the Senators (with a side interest in the Stars, since it's my local team - surprise, I live in Texas ), if nothing else it would annoy me to see another Canadian based NHL team win (especially the Canadiens or, much much worse, the Leafs).

phelps 6,862 Posted January 23, 2018 #216 Share Posted January 23, 2018 by the way, very interesting team, the Finnish one... I'm not sure they're as good as the Russians and the Swedes, but surely they're gonna be among the medal contenders...as always, most of their fortune will be on their goalies' shoulders... the Swiss...well, the Swiss are almost always the same team...no surporise from them... they're gonna play a very entertaining and technical style of hockey, they will probably make some upsets to the top 6 "big name" Countries, but they still lack some size and some offensive power (meaning also one or two true "natural born goal scorers") to have a real shot against the powehouses of the game...
