Are you rooting for your Favorite NHL Players?

In the Olympics. I dont want Canada to win, I want the USA to win. But when Brodeur is playing, I cant help but root for him to stop every shot he faces. Though when the US Plays Canada, I'll be fine with a 2-1 USA win if he plays. If he doesnt, 8-1!

1. Not really, just rooting for good hockey.

I don't even care who wins it.

3. I don't know if any Coyotes players are in the Olympics

So I guess no. I'm rooting for Canada/USA at this point but like Forkboy said I don't care who wins it all.

5. There are three Coyotes players in the Olympics.

Bryzgalov is Russia's goalie, Michalek plays for the Czech Republic and Lepisto plays for Finland.

9. Puts me in an awkward situation...

Canada has four Sharks on the team, including the entire Heatley/Thornton/Marleau line...but I usually root against the Canadians because of the sense of entitlement they have when it comes to the Gold Medal..

It's the USA that has the entitlement when it comes to the Gold Medals in the Olympics.

12. Not in hockey.

I don't feel as strongly about it as Upton does, but the Canadian team is always expected to win Gold with the NHL players taking part. Especially this year with it in Canada. Be kind of cool to see Latvia win or something. :)

11. I'm rooting for the USA and Canada both

The Sharks have four players on the Canadian team, all on the same line! Joe Pavelski is the lone USA Shark. But I'm not a nationalist. I don't really care who gets the most medals. Every game is like an all-star game. I'm just enjoying it.

14. I'm pulling for the US, but if they don't get it I'd like it to be either Canada or

whichever country has the fewest NHLers. And just good hockey, no matter who wins, will make me happy...

15. I have to say I'm rooting for country first...

Because it's our game, dammit, and it's on home ice. (Obviously a Canadian here.)

I am rooting for Sweden second though, because of the NHL - Daniel Alfredsson is the captain of my Ottawa Senators, and he is a total sweetheart.
