So screw the bloody US. I'll be royally pissed if Canada loses.

Don't get me wrong, I want Canada to win as well. However, the US pulling off a win could potentially do for NHL hockey, than what the the Gretzky trade did. Bring more interest south of the border, and fans. That cannot be a bad thing with the current state of many of the American franchises.
Also as a realist, Canada has a scary road to Gold now. All bets are off, and I would not put a nickel on them winning the gold. That Russian teams scares the hell out of me.
