Unfortunately, I haven't been able to follow the tourney on television. Been using all of you to keep informed! A couple of observations:
1. I really hope that the Canadian fans aren't booing the American National Anthem. That is intolerable!
2. USA fans, quit whining about your team getting booed during game play, or post game for that matter. I'm an American, and I kind of think it's cool that they respect us enough to jeer. A complement in my opinion about our new found status in the amateur hockey world. As far as political aspects go, just remember that Gretz is with us, so nothing else matters.
3. Sounds like the typical Canadian outfit. I know that last year they were crazy skilled, but for the most part I have always admired the Canucks brand of outwork you, great goaltending, smart coaches, North American style. Again, I haven't seen one second of this tourney so tell me if I'm wrong.
4. I don't think the Americans will see the final for a rematch. Already played two in two days, one day off, then two in two just to reach the finals? Am I right? Just don't see it unless their goaltending steals one.
