Boo, no.
The WJC is pretty darn big in Scandinavia. As well, the Olympics aren't some magical tournament that is of the utmost importance to everyone. Even the US aren't that concerned with the Winter Olympics, let alone the hockey tournament.
I've never heard of any fans of any sport cheering for opposing countries because their favourite player is on that squad, unless of course their own squad is eliminated. People are ridiculous sometimes.
