I hate the Russian hockey players so much. Especially at the WJC. Can't stand those cocky 17 year old d-bags. That said, I think this was said all in good fun. Go Canada Go.
Don't really expect anything different. I just hope the Russians don't go as far as causing a ref controversy like the one in 2002 women's match in Salt Lake. I wouldn't put it past them.
However if they win, or make it further than Canada I don't mind at all (as long as it's fair). And it might be nice to see them win in front of their country. Not as nice as a Canada gold, but you know what I mean. I just hope for good clean competitive matches.
Honestly I probably enjoyed the hammering of the Russians just as much as winning the gold. Whenever I feel that the rivalry is waning, games like that remind me of how much I want to destroy them.

I just hope our players don't come down with a "mysterious illness"
I would expect any politician of any country wish failure for the favored opposition.
It's what makes sports so awesome. I'd hope our leaders would say the same thing if the Russians were a clear favorite walking onto our home soil during the olympics.
This Rivalry could potentially take a huge leap forward this year. Looking forward to it.

Its all NHL officials for the games.....there wont be nonsense like that SLC debacle.
As for the original sentiment of the Russian official...good! Why shouldnt he want Canada to fail at the Olympics against his country? Only makes sense. I am sure if you asked the Canadian ambassodor to Russia who he is cheering for...he may just answer Canada and hopes it comes at the failure of the Russians.

Do you also hate all the cocky 17 year old d-bags that ware the maple leaf? Only difference between their d-bags and ours is where they are from.
