Some small part of me feels bad...it's so important to them and most people in the US don't even know who won the game or care

I don't know if it's that it's so much more important to us or if it is just plain passion. I tend to think it's just that we are rabid passionate hockey fans. Internationally is usually the one sport that we can count on doing well in, it's also the one thing that seems to bring us together from coast to coast to coast... along with our health care. To really understand the passion for the game all you have to do is watch a Canadian team in the playoffs at home, every seat is full by the time the national anthem is played and they are the loudest rinks in the NHL.

It's our national past time, but unlike the american national past time we still feel confidant that we can compete with any country anywhere.

I am perplexed at why the NHL mens teams struggle's so much internationally as of late. There is nothing wrong with the quality of hockey talent coming from the junior ranks, over the last 8 years we have won 5 world junior titles and 3 silvers. the US did win the world junior title this year, but that was probably just a hiccup for us.

I just think we need to do a better job of putting teams together at the Olympics, this team is better than '06, but I suspect if we're there in '14 we will not see any players older than 34. I'm sure if they could go back, Stamkos, Green and Burrows would be on this team.
