Brendan Gaunce Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm a Canuck fan at heart so why should I care if players that I hate (i.e. Duncan Keith, Perry, Smith, Bergeron, Doughty, etc) can bring home a medal for a team that is brought around every 4 years for only 2 weeks.. Not jumping on this bandwagon, who cares if they're Canadian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm a Canuck fan at heart so why should I care if players that I hate (i.e. Duncan Keith, Perry, Smith, Bergeron, Doughty, etc) can bring home a medal for a team that is brought around every 4 years for only 2 weeks.. Not jumping on this bandwagon, who cares if they're Canadian? Are you Canadian? Cause I won't be cheering for those players specifically, in fact I'll be hoping they do as bad as possible without being a detriment to Team Canada, but I'm still cheering for Team Canada to win Gold. You can cheer for the team/country without cheering for individual players on the team. In the same way, you can cheer for individual players on teams you may hate/not care about.

Peaches Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I hate Keith and Doughty, but as long as they're wearing the team Canada jersey I'll be supporting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, I was born in Arizona, moved to Vancouver at a young age and still cheer for Canada over the USA, I'm more of a Canadian than you are.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 These signs in Sochi 2014 living quarters should make NHL players feel safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Here's a better look at the schedule: The pre Sochi 2014 NHL schedule wraps up Saturday with 10 games on the East coast. This is because all NHL players, staff, family & friends going to Sochi will have to make their way to Newark or Atlanta on Sunday for 1 of 4 of the league's all-nationality flights. The planes will leave mid-day and land in Russia mid-day on Monday after a 11 hour flight and 9 hour time change! Players will have 3 days to shake out jet lag before Olympic games start on February 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Gaunce Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 It's called supporting your country, people like you make me sick. The kid that bulled you in high school ends up going to the Olympics and has a good chance for a medal, you still going to root for him just because he is CANADIAN? I know I wouldn't. Keith HEAVILY has hurt Daniel's career and costed a playoff series for us, why should I cheer for him along with the multiple other players who I dislike on Canada?

Like others have said, you don't cheer the individual players you cheer for the team. I don't like a bunch of players on Team Canada either but I'm still gonna cheer for them, I cheer for the Canucks but I dislike most of the players on the team.

hockeyville88 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Rumour going around is that Hamhuis suffered a concussion. 4:15 mark Give how bad he's played all season long, and given how much we'll need him to be on his A game when the Olympics are over, I think he should not be going to Sochi. I also think Henrik should stay home. It's inexcusable for a $6.1 million to play with broken ribs for a team that's paying him nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
