It's not quite how it was, what, 12 years ago, 16 years ago, where there were more than just Sidney Crosby on the hockey team.

Yeah, I know.

Sidney Crosby is a beloved figure in this town, as he should be.

He's like the all-time good guy.

You have never heard a bad thing said about him.

He also had two points yesterday in the 5-0 win for Canada.

But I don't get rooting against the team that represents the United States because if they get into a gold medal matchup, I want to root for the country that I'm a citizen of.

I'm going to root for the United States.

Yesterday, a 5-1 win over Latvia.

But we're finding that they're...

There are more people online, Austin, and I questioned yesterday afternoon, did a group of people that are Canadian infiltrate the Twitter polls that popped those numbers a little bit?

Because I want to know how many people in the United States are rooting for the Canadian hockey team if they would actually get into a gold medal game against the United States.

I can't bring myself to do it.

I was as into... The times where I'm most into hockey, yes, when the Penguins are in the playoffs, but when we get good international hockey and we get the United States playing a team like Canada, like Russia, who I know they are not participating in these Olympic Games, but when it is the United States against a team where they go in as the underdog...

I'm as into hockey as I'm ever going to be.

Last year, we had the Four Nations.

We have the Olympics every four years.

I don't know where you come down, but if we get to a gold medal game scenario, I will think back to...

previous Olympic Games.

I'll think back to 2010.
