I remember a few years back, I saw the Russian and Canadian Olympic hockey teams go at it. It was an excellent game.
Who was the crowd favourite? I always <3 to see the underdog win in any sports match. Brings those egotistical high-paid players a reality check. Always nice to see. Ice hokey is cool. To bad most Dutch channels only have soccer and the ocasional tennis match or grand prix. That more or less caused me to never keep up with ice hokey leagues. A shame, really.
