NA vs Europe.

Because I am still going to watch!

The two non-countries!

I'm still at work, but I plan to covertly get the highlights from twitter.

Who are nonnies rooting for, either teams or individual players?

I want one of the not countries to win, just because it would be funny. I like more players on Team NA, but Europe winning would be so unlikely it would be a delight.

I'm rooting for "no injuries, please." But also for Team Kopitar.

I've decided to root for Europe just because it would be funny if they won.

USA is a mess but I have a lot of faves on Sweden so they might be my non-Europe fave.

All I want is for the final to not be one of Canada/USA, Canada/North America, or USA/North America and therefore ruin the NHL's dreams.

Come on, give me Sweden/Europe, or something. Make the NHL's publicity boner deflate.

My boyfriend thinks the team NA uniforms look like "something you wear in prison". Just so you all know.

and the black ones looks like something the prison guards would wear in that prison.

I'm just really really tired of Greg Wyshynski acting like a 12-year old about them. He had to say about 50 times in the latest Marek vs. Wyshynski podcast that he was rooting for Team T 'n' A. Strangely enough, I don't think I heard him make that joke at all on the newest Puck Soup, so maybe someone already told him to knock it off.

Is it just me or does this game really feel like an exhibition game?

I know that's what it is, but it's just so...quiet. If that makes sense.

I think Russia/Czech Republic and Sweden/Finland both had historic rivalries, but these teams don't have that.

These announcers are amazing, imo. Informative, funny, not too biased I always think Buccigross is an asshole on twitter but I like him as an announcer.

Agreed. They also have a good rapport without the banter being distracting or off-topic.

TNA needs to practice their passing. That was atrocious.

They're obviously all really good, but they don't seem to be playing with a ton of cohesion yet. They look a bit disorganized.

Small American players who skate fast and score goals are probably going to be compared to him until the nuclear apocalypse happens, tbh.

Chara's not having the best evening.

These Hull/Chelios interludes are not my favorite.

But damn Olli Maatta leading the rush in OT is a sweet highlight.

I literally only care about Johnny Gaudreau.

Just tuned in and saw Europe is down by three. Are they getting smoked or is it closer than the score would appear?
