If you werent a fan of the game before tonight, I hope you are seriously reconsidering your stance on hockey.[/QUOTE]

All of today's games are/were going to be awesome for the casual fan. Czech Rep vs. Russia earlier today was great, this one speaks for itself so far, and Finland vs. Sweden tonight will be great as well. Ton of NHL players for all 6 of these teams today.

Right here. I have never watched hockey before this year's Olympics. Started out watching the U.S. women demolish everyone. Now, watching this, I'm sold, and I need a team.

Chicago wouldnt be a bad team to watch. They are close to Iowa so they would be on tv more and they are young and pretty good. They are my second favorite team.

The rivalry factor is a lovely side story as well.

Kind of funny USA scored the goal after Brodeur got hit by the puck on his helmet and the 3 Canadiens ran in each other.....

How big will it be that USA scores on the Power Play the start of the 3rd quarter

If we pull this out Vancouver will look like Jonestown!!!!!

Im a Wild fan, but I cheered for the Blackhawks before the Wilds inception (I grew up on the Iowa-Minnesota border, so I cheer for Minnesota pro teams), so Ill still cheer for them as well. The Wild are having a crap year, but the Blackhawks are doing well. Cheer local, I guess is my point.

Unrelated side note: Despite it being immensely boring, all 3 of the American women in ice dancing are pretty hot.

Can't go wrong cheering for the Red Wings. The model of consistency in the NHL!

St. Louis is on TV in Central Iowa a lot, but Ive never been a Blues fan, although my grandparents are big Blues fans.

If your a yankees fan.

[hurdleisu24]

Wild, Blackhawks and Pens are my favorite teams to watch. The Wild are in the mist of changing the way the play from a trapping style to a more up tempo team

[tyrelrobert]

If your a yankees fan.

yeah.... cuz the NHL doesn't have a salary cap

More like the complete opposite of the yankees. No other team in the NHL drafts and develops talent better than the wings

What is the tie breaker for seeding
