I'm proud of Canada and support it in other ways. This collection of hockey players, I can't. It's only a 2 week tournament anyway.

I have to be honest, this is a very, very odd thing to be hearing from a Canadian hockey fan. Not only is it odd, I've never heard it before in my life.

You support the "team" not the individual players, since these players tend to come and go over the years. In this case, you support your "country", I could care less who the individuals are on the team, but even looking at them, when they are playing for Team Canada, I have a very easy time forgetting any dislike I may have for them and even cheer them on individually.

Yea to each their own.

See the way I see it, it's a Sport not a National thing. If asked what group of players I'd rather see win a Hockey Championship:

Group A: Lidstrom, Holmstrom, Datsyuk, Franzen, Filppula, Zetterberg, Kronwall, Rafalski, and Ericcson (I know that's 4 countries)

or

Group B: Fleury, Neidermayer, Phaneuf, Pronger, Crosby, Getzlaf, Iginla, Marleau, Nash, Perry, Smyth, J. Staal, Thornton, and Toews.

I'm picking Group A, but I don't blame anyone who chooses B since it's team Canada.

If you ask me what society I'd choose or who I'd support in a war, I'm all for Canada/USA! In International Hockey, win or lose, Canada and my life doesn't change either way. Sports is a hobby.

Talking hockey, names like Crosby, Phaneuf, Pronger, Getzlaf, and Iginla, I think cry baby, over hyped, cheap shot artist, boarder line goon, and bad temper.
