I am cheering for Canada but hope Kipper has a valient effort in defeat. Basically I want Kipper and Hagman to keep Finland in the game but by no means do I want them to win it.

I also am pleased that Lou hasn't had to be big for us. You can even argue he has been quite ordinary thus far.

He may have won a Vezina in your books, butnot the NHL's book.

Obviously Canada. Just because Kipper plays for the fins would never make me cheer for another country other than the one I was born in. If every Calgary Flame happened to play for another country I would still cheer for Canada. Its a no brainer.

Do you cheer a little more for Kipper & Finland against Luongo & Canada if they are playing each other in the Bronze medal game?

If it happens I hope Kipper chokes and gets pulled in the first. Screw Kipper, I'm cheering for Canada.

Canada winning 1-0 with Iggy scoring an unassisted lone goal and Kipper making unbelievable saves and getting the game MVP. But Canada the gold. Also it wouldn't hurt me if Kipper does win it, since the man deserves some sort of championship. I was cheering for him in the world cup after our 04 run, but he lost that too. So it sucks for Kipper.

I am cheering for Team Canada not Bobby Lou. I would like Kipper and Hagman to do well but not too well though. I will be happy to see 2-1 Team Canada win with Iggy scores 2 goals for Canada and Hagman scores the lone goal for Finland.

Well I am cheering for the name on the front, the Flaming C.

More than that, I'm conditioned to love Flames and hate Canucks. I dunno. I'm mostly watching the Olympics because it's really high quality hockey. I don't really have much of an emotional attachment to Team Canada to be honest. I'm cheering for them to win but it's not above my attachment to the Flames.

It would be better if Finland beat canada 4-3 with Iggy getting the hattrick on 5 minutes of icetime on the 4th line.

Go Canada and go kipper if that's possible!

Would be sweet if Iggy got the game winning goal against Kipper.

I don't really give 2 craps about international competetition in hockey, so if Kipper was the only Flame in the game, I would cheer for Finland without hesitation... but I won't cheer against Iginla.

Basically, such a game would be a no lose situation for me as a fan.

I cheer for Canada, but if we were to lose, the thought of kipper sticking it to Luongo would ease the pain...but having said that I don't want to lose..

If Canada meets Finland, I'll be cheering for Iggy to get a hat trick on Kipper. After all, we has shot on him for years...

In this scenario, I'd cheer for Canada, but I wouldn't actually be that upset if they lost to Finland. So this would be a good game for me to watch because I wouldn't be stressed out about it. Either team wins and I'd be happy.
