The stage is set, Canada Vs. USA Part II. Last Sunday the US beat Canada in their sport, on their soil. The US will try to do it again on Sunday on NBC at 3pm ET. Hockey to Canada is Football to America. How would we feel if Canada beat us in Football. It would hurt, and wouldn't make sense to us. That is how they felt last Sunday. It received the highest TV rating in Canada history. On paper this Canada team is very impressive, and should beat the US, but the game is played on ice and not paper. After Canada's defeat to the US, they placed Roberto Luongo in goal replacing Martin Brodeur who was struggling. Canada also changed up their lines and played very well against Germany, Russia, and Slovakia. The US went on to beat Switzerland, and Finland. The US came out explosive against the Finns like Canada did against the high powered Russians. The intensity will be real, and the crowd will be unreal. The US will be booed throughout the game, and the crowd will be deafening when Canada scores a goal. This game is a good thing for the NHL, and for the US. I don't remember so much buzz about a hockey game. As a hockey fan I love it, and I get to share it with my family. I never thought I could have a hockey party. I have done it many times for football games, but nothing else. I am excited to have my family over to watch our country play for Gold against the Nation that bleeds it. For the US to beat Canada twice in the Olympics in their country would be like the 24-time Stanley Cup Champion Montreal Canadiens moving to Kansas City. It would be a blow to all Canadians. The pressure is on Canada, and as Herb Brooks said in 1980, "Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the" Canadians "have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it."
