They won exhibition games...meh.

Fun to watch for sure, but still a gimmick.
I wouldnt mind seeing them tossed in the quarters.

well they could just win against sweden. wouldn't be suprised at all if they did. just don't want it to happen

Swedish?

I'm a Canadian thick and thin and I want them to win as much as any Canadian.

But it doesn't change the fact that I enjoy watching NA way more. The entertainment value is there. It kind of makes it dull when we go into a game knowing we are going to win

They're a hell of a lot more fun to watch than Finland, USA, Czech Republic and Team Europe that's for sure. For someone who doesn't really care who wins, give me a Canada vs North America game every day of the week.

Young players don't get enough credit when picking these teams. I think they go to semis and win.

And then probably lose against Canada. But what else is new

I went to the NA game last night. Probably the best international game I've been to. And I've been to the WJC a few times.

Fair answer. I would like to see the NA team win because they're the most fun to watch, and I'd like for them to play the most games. I sincerely don't care about which country wins.

Probably. Personally I don't care who wins, just looking forward to some good hockey.

I'd take watching these kids play over watching Markov, Chara, Koivu, Plekanec, Dubinsky, the Sedin's, Jokinen, Michalek, Datsyuk or Polak plod around the ice for the millionth time I've seen them.

Hoping for a North America vs Canada final. Should be a great entertaining game.

Always liked watching the Swedes. Seem to always be that quiet team that everyone knows are good but don't get enough credit for it. Instead Russia gets overated.

It's a one time thing so enjoy it. They will to relegation's for the next one they do.

Would I be this into it if NA wasn't in the tournament? Probably not. But it's gauged my interest because of it. I'll give the next one a fair shot regardless of what teams are in it.
