FINLAND!!!
After becoming a Stars/hockey fan, first Olympics that came about I needed a team to cheer for (Australia didnt qualify for the Olympics that year 😅 ) so I looked over the rosters and instantly went with Finland.
I've always gone for them in international competition but now that I'm a Canadian citizen I have a default team. It hasn't been a problem until the Four Nations Faceoff. I woke up in the morning and eventually put on my Canada jersey. During the pregame they were going over the lines/pairs, I saw Harley had been left out so I took my jersey off in disgust and went back to Finland. They almost had the big comeback. Patrick Laine sucks
The Finish call of Kiviranta hat trick is the best call ever (available on YouTube)
