your favourite national team besides your home country + the one you don't like

[Human Thumb*]

besides the US

like: sweden

dislike: canada

don't care too much about the rest

 

[Grabovski]

Like: Finland, Sweden
Neutral: Slovakia, Czech
Dislike: Russia, USA (I want them to lose in every tournament ), Switzerland lol

I also like underdog teams like Denmark and Belarus.

 

[Uhmkay]

Canada is obviously my favourite.

2nd Favourite would be Sweden or Finland, but I'm hoping Switzerland keeps improving. I love the Swedish skill as an all around team, and I love the Finnish style, very similar to Canadians. Sweden gets a for their women as well.

Hated: Russia. I got a huge kick out of watching their fans get upset at the Olympics when they got their **** shoved in against Canada when they and all their fans thought their offense was unstoppable. The fact that I was AT the game made it even better. Maybe they learned a good lesson. It was like they couldn't believe their eyes, their greatest players getting manhandled. LOVED IT. It was almost as good as winning the gold.... almost.

 

[Dane11]

Aside from Denmark, I would say Sweden and for the team I dislike: Norway and Russia

 

[frostyflo]

always Finland! but I love the country aswell, so its not hard to like their hockey
like Sweden and Canada too

never really liked team USA but since the Olympics I changed my mind abit

you see I like the most countries, it all depends on their hockey. the only nation I really dislike (not hate) is Russia cause I just can`t stand Radulov and especially Kovalchuk

 

[swisdan]

I'm from earth, and a little from Switzerland.

Like: Suomi, Canada

Dislike: Belarus, French ( i don't really dislike them but if i have to choice..) and Germany for one month....

I DO dislike player like Carcillo or Lapierre.

 

[swisdan]

Finland, they have a lot of my favorite players, and I have some friends over there.

Then Sweden, but don't tell my Finnish friends

I'm surprised you like Finland....

 

[FreakyEuro*]

I DO dislike player like Carcillo or Lapierre.

You and I both, pal! Especially Carcillo. What a dirtbag.

 

[AUAIOMRN]

This year it's Sweden, just because of the Oilers prospects.

 

[omaha82]

Teams i like besides Germany:

1. Canada Oh Canada... I studied in Vancouver for 6 months and had the time of my life, probably the friendliest nation in the world, but they like their hockey rough and tough, so do i Wish i could get some Poutine in Germany though
2. Sweden & Finland Extremely talented players, their derbys are almost more interesting than Canada vs USA.
3. Switzerland It`s funny because obviously they are our biggest rival, but i find myself cheering for them whenever they play vs. someone else. I think it`s impressive how that little nation built a serious hockey tradition over the years.

Teams i don`t like:

1. Russia Probably the best players in the world, but their team is so superior in most world championships that it almost becomes boring
2. Denmark Nothing personal against our neighbors from the north, but their pre-game behavior and interviews in this orld cup were arrogant and not very sympathic. Whatever, it made our 3-1 victory even sweeter

 

[Nakawick]

I believe in equality, I hate all other countries equally.

But I like to see the Americans, Germans and Fins do well.

 

[S E P H]

Favourite - US, Canada
Like - Suiss
Dislike - Russia

 

[SpezDispenser]

I'd go for Sweden.

Dislike Russia and the US of course.

 

[TeemuLaine]

Countries i like: Finland, Russia
Countries i dislike: Denmark
Countries i wanna smash with a hammer: USA

 

[makemyday]

I really like Sweden, at times even more than I like Finland. Recently I've even rooted for Canada.

I don't strongly dislike any team, my feelings depend on who's playing on the teams and who they are playing against. I can't say I've ever really rooted for the US, Czechs or Russia but I guess I could if they had players I liked in their roster and the opposing team didn't.

 

[torero]

I like :
Russians : my wife is russian ! and they are top players.
Americans : I don't know why, but i prefer them over the Canadians.

i dislike :
Germans : it all started yesterday !
Swedes : they play well and allways beat Switzerland ... but their is little passion.
Frenchs : they are my neighbours, i also love them but don't tell them !

Favorite: Finland
Like: Russia, Sweden
Hate: States

[IIHFjerseycollector]

Favorite: Finland
Like: Russia, Sweden
Hate: States
Would kill with fire: Italy

how the hell can you hate Italy, thats like hating the jamaican bobsled team..

 

[Hrad]

Slovakia first by A LOT obviously.

Then Czech Republic (Kind of, not if they're the ones who eliminated Slovakia [Which is the usual, by the way])

I like to watch Russia's talented players.

I like to see Canada lose, and I used to hate USA, but they're ok because they aren't as full of it as Canadian fans.

 

[Hrad]

how the hell can you hate Italy, thats like hating the jamaican bobsled team..

That's like hating the continent of Antarctica's swimming team.

*If they had one.
