I enjoy the hockey and getting to see the next crop of NHL prospects. How many Latvian players are going to make the NHL? For many of the players on most teams, this is the peak of their playing careers. I was stoked to see Latvia pull of the miracle, it will be a highlight of many players lives, let alone hockey careers. I also think it helps grow the game in other smaller markets which is only beneficial in the long term.

Not unpopular at all. I cheer for Flames prospects, regardless of what team they're on, and underdogs.
The fact of the matter is that Canada goes into this tournament as favourites every year, if nothing else I want every other team to make them earn it.
