    Who cares about Olympic Hockey?

    I was considering this weekend how many people in Canada and the States actually care about the Olympic Hockey?
    Did you watch it? Do you know who won? Did you know the olympics were on?

    Turns out that it was the MOST watched broadcast in Canadian TV history. 16.6 million, about 50% of the Canadian population, on average, with 26.5 million watching some part of the game.

    Great game!
    It could have gone either way but Canada looked stronger this time around.
    I will always go for the USA but I am very happy to see anyone in any country kick butt..
    USA needs to be proud they placed where they did.

    Agreed, the American goalie should be proud, he did an awesome job!

    I would have loved to see the US take the gold after beating a STACKED team Canada. I was pretty bummed when they lost in OT.

    It is true, we did have a stacked team. We make up over 50% of the NHL and generally have a large large chunk of the best players. In some places in Canada, EVERYONE plays hockey, like you go play a little floor hockey with some random old guys, and they are ALL incredible. It is just a deep part of our culture, for which we are very proud, especially when it comes to our wealthy powerful neighbours to the south. I don't know why but any chance to beat the states at anything just feels so right, somewhere deep in my bones it just feels right.
    Hahaha.
    I guess not a lot of people are looking at this poll who do not like hockey.......we'll see if it gets some better response as time goes on.

    More of an NHL fan but I will watch Olympic hockey.


    I'm glad the regular NHL Season is back on. My Flyers and Thrashers kicked off there first games back with great starts.
