    Undecided if i want Canada or Sweden in the Gold medal match... I'm normally an underdog kinda guy. Who is the underdog?

    Sweden is clearly the underdog, a much smaller country than Canada..(we have a population of only 9 million)
    Um ya so the physical size of the country doesn't really factor in :p are you already out and about trying to drum up support for Sweden???lol
    Doesn't the size of the country factor in?? What a bummer...well it doesn't matter cause we're gonna win :-*

    This means i have to get up at 4AM on Sunday, lol. Recording it isn't an option because everyone in my neighborhood loves air horns! All major hockey games have to be watched live. I can't even pause them to go get a snack. It's kind of ridiculous, lol.</p>

    All part of the fun, right?
    Maybe dont go to bed Saturday, keep the party going? :)
    This is actually the more likely scenario!

    I don't think the population of a country has anything to do with it. The Russians have the biggest population, they lost. The US has a population ten times the size of Canada's and they lost. Canada's population is between three and four times the size of Sweden's, but that's clearly meaningless - Canada will win because we're awesone, not because there are more of us. :D;)
    No, but seriously, i don't think there is an underdog here. I mean, Sweden just beat Finland. Canada barely scraped by that team. Should be a great game!!

    Epic game. The score was flattering to the American team.

    Had to delete my other post I typed up...no, I'm not flattered.

    There are rumblings of bars n' pubs either staying open all night
    or opening early for thirsty Canadians to watch the final.
    Let me know if you are so fortunate!

    Cheers.

    I'm sure there will be plenty of places open for watching, but serving alcohol will be problematic in most places I think. Liquor laws restrict the hours when businesses can serve. I don't think it's legal at any place between 2am and 9am in Greater Vancouver - it probably goes later in some places. So even in ths East bars will probably have to break the law to serve during most of the game.... although the laws in BC are particularly ridiculous on this. Maybe there are some provinces or cities that would make it easier or have special licensing.

    Well there you go! Way to go Toronto! .... The timing of this game is actually a major blow to the Vancouver economy. Millions and millions won't be spent. No wonder TO made that decision.... I wonder who the four teetotallers are?? lol

    It would be nice, but I doubt it.

    :)) Oh my god, that is so stupid. :)) I understand why he did it, which just tells us that he is TERRIBLE at understanding people. By being one of the four he has called way more attention to his drinking in problem than he would have if he'd just voted with the crowd, PLUS he voted against businesses raking in money hand over fist.

    Our favourite pub here in Calgary announced they will be open at 4:45am and pouring pints by puck drop at 5am. I'm curious how they can swing that given the law.
