I just like good hockey, I really don't care if that comes from the NHL or the local Midget team. Just because they don't play at NHL caliber doesn't mean it wasn't a great hockey game. I don't know I guess I can just enjoy more hockey then just the NHL.

Woop woop!

I don't enjoy when the game is played at half the speed of other games and people are falling left and right...sorry I don't find watching players who are less skilled than some high schoolers play a game.

Yet you like Anaheim

I believe Anaheim has the most players left in the Olympics and are the only team guaranteed to bring home a gold, silver and bronze medal :unsure:

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

Then you haven't watched him play much as it's pretty well known he's not the best skater. Says a ton about the rest of his skills since he's second in nhl scoring

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

I never took shots at Canada in the least.

To clarify in hopes of staving off my execution:

All Canada has is the Winter Olympics. In that, it is the only thing they, as a country, dominate in. Every event is crucial to them, regardless of quality or anything because they are dead set on trying to win the medal count or come as close as possible. Now, not to say they don't support Canada in the Summer games or anything. However, they are more willing to let events slide and are simply proud when their countrymen medal or when their showing is particularly strong (not sure if slide is right word, but I guess what I'm trying to say is, they don't get as mad if they don't medal or disappointed due to expectations and realities). Canada's emphasis is simply on the Winter games and not the Summer games. Women's hockey becomes crucial as it is something Canada should be medaling in and is a key part in Canada moving up in the medal count and chalking up another Gold. Compared to the Summer games, if Canada loses in women's basketball, they may be disappointed, but would not be as insatiably angry if they drop the game. Same thing with men's basketball. Now compare this to men's hockey or women's hockey where they would riot if they lost and got Silver. In both of the Summer sports I mentioned, they'd be elated with a silver. It's a matter of expectations. So essentially, all Canada has is the Winter Olympics, because it is the thing they are expected to dominate and have great success in, hence it's a silly to ask Canadians if they actually cared about the women's hockey game today, because of course they did. They were heavily invested, because the difference between gold and silver is massive when it comes to the Winter games. Just looking at you guys freaking out over luge or the biathlon or whatever, proves this. Every event is massive in the Winter games, while you guys may let things like basketball or the marathon or whatever slide because, "Oh well, we weren't supposed to win anyways."

tl:dr:

People are more critical of winter athletes this year.
People care about summer and winter. They want to win winter though.
