Donny Football

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.

I know I'm a little bit older than you, but I can remember being very into the U.S.-Canada game, and Sidney Crosby, the man who's a hero yet again, he had the golden goal for Canada.

I was kind of crushed as a young fan.

The guy on my favorite hockey team here had the game-winning goal, but I wanted Team USA to win.

You were demoralized, Donnie, by that loss.

I'm watching Ryan Miller, the former Sabres goalie, just stand on his head game after game.

Guys like Zach Parise out there.

He might have been the captain of that team.

I don't know.

But I was so into that, and I couldn't imagine not rooting for the United States.

So one of those have your cake and eat it too scenarios.

Kind of like when Marco Andre Fleury would come back here with another team and it's, man, I hope Fleury is phenomenal and the Penguins win the game 1-0.
