I like rooting for the under-dog in tournaments like this. It's fun to see who might be a cinderella story and pull off some big upsets. Love when a relatively lesser player ends up playing way out of his mind, like Kontiola in the Olympics a while back. Or when a one-man-show beats a stacked team, like anytime Kopitar plays internationally.
I'm cheering for team Czech, and team Europe. Czech because I want to see if Hemsky still has it, and (our own) Michalek as well. Plus Mrazek is one of my favourite goalies.
Team Europe because of all the players who would normally never have a chance at an international championship, like Kopitar, Bellemare, and Vanek. Not to mention my other favourite goalie (our own) Freddy Andersen!
