It is hard to stay focus on the NHL with the World u20 happening right now and with all the nations picking their national teams for the Winter Olympics Games in Vancouver in Feb (I would consider this event the world cup of hockey as it is best on best competition)
Im starting to get pretty excited about the olympics too, just over a month to go now! It is the world cup of hockey, I agree. I watched the US team announcement after the Winter Classic today, was glad to see young Bobby Ryan from my Ducks made the team!
Being Australian though im torn as a neutral as who to support. I figure I should go for the USA, just because my girl is American and thats where im living at the moment. But I have some favorite players on team Canada as well so I dunno what to do! Help me?
EDIT: Oh, and the hockey the other night, Sharks vs. Capitals, was awesome! Sellout at the Shark Tank, and the crowd was right up for it! Booed Ovechkin every time he went near the puck!
Sharks played some really good hockey and made a good Capitals team look bad. They won 5-2 in the end, and the Sharks also scored 2 penalty shots in the game, first time its been done in an NHL game since 1982.
