One man said it was very hard to root against Canada. One woman said she wasn't rooting against either team because there are Hawks players on each team. I like that approach. First goal I was like, Goal -Toews! Yeaah! - oops, wait... They interviewed Sidney Crosby after the game and he looks like he's about 16. (I know he's older than that!) I could watch the entire game again. Wish I'd taped it! They showed it without commercials except during the intermissions.

I felt the same way. I cheered for every goal - my husband thought I was nuts! lol Yes Crosby looks like he hasn't hit puberty yet lol, his playoff beard is kind of sad looking

Exactly! Forget that football, get into hockey! That was one of my favorite parts of the playoffs the past two years, Pittsburgh is more of a football town and it was so great to see people get excited about hockey.
