I expected the Canadians to win, but Jesus, I figured the Swedes would at least show up. Then again, them choking was a given with the Sedins on the team.

What a waste of time this Olympic tournament was. The only team that didn't underachieve was Canada, and they took the gold with a routine performance. I don't think Sweden played one single good game in the tournament, but they got to the finals nevertheless.

Reading up a bit about the NHL. Just read this stuff, about some hate against Vancouver Canucks.

How do you guys feel about this team, and maybe other teams in the NHL. What are your favorites and which ones do you absolutely detest?

I couldn't care less. Did you look at the date on that article? The Canucks aren't bad right now, but they certainly aren't a championship team this year. I suppose it would be nice for them to win a cup one of these years.
As for the whole bring the cup back to Canada, seems a bit silly to me. Part of why I like the NHL is that the teams are so international, it's not like there's ever been a year where a Canadian didn't go home a Stanley Cup Champion.

Red Wings, followed by the Flyers, followed by the Devils. If I detest any one team, it's Pittsburgh. I guess I used to not like the Avalanche, but the rivalry's been pretty much dead for the past ten years, and with Detroit moving to the Eastern Conference, it's likely dead forever.

It says a lot about North American hockey. In Europe, rinks are bigger, so there's a lot more room for stickhandling and creativity. North Americans are pissed when a team, who's core consists of skilled European players with different ideology, dominate in their league. On the other hand, if a bulky and violent team were to dominate in the Finnish league, I imagine I would be similarly pissed. It comes down to preference. I, myself, prefer to marvel at skill rather than strength.

It's not at all about style of play.
There are plenty of high skilled, less physical North American players. It just so happens that staunch defense wins more often than not (look at how much Team Canada dominated everybody)
Frankly, i'd take a chara over a karlsson anyday on any ice.
And as for vancouver:
It's not at all about the team being comprised of non-canadians. That's not it at all.
It's about the horrible media.
It happens in toronto, and it's worse. Phil Kessel, the most consistent top scorer over the last few years, the only person to be top 10 in scoring the last 3 years and #2 in points across the last 2 years (only 1 point behind malkin) gets **** on left and right. The guy is a ****ing scoring machine and his career doesn't lie.
same guys for the sedins. Great players. Great skilled duo, fun to watch, but the vancouver market and the ****ty vancouver knee-jerk folks just love to **** on them just because.
The mayor of montreal came out and criticized the canadiens' captain. What a ****.
That's what happens in hockey markets.
Classic cannot be used in the same sentence as Canucks or Senators. That is not allowed. Classic involves Bruins, Black Hawks, Penguins, maybe Ducks. Tied 2-2 after one period.
Speaking of Bruins... **** you Ovechkin.
