Are any NHL hockey fans psyched up for the Four Nations Face Off? The first game is tonight. Canada and Sweden are going to start in about 10 minutes. USA and Finland play tomorrow.
Do I care?
Usually I get pretty hyped up for this sort of international challenge. When NHL players are in the Olympics it is THE BEST HOCKEY EVER. Now? Today? With the United States crumbling into a fascist cesspool? It’s really hard to get up for an international hockey tournament when you are completely fucking ashamed of your country.
If there were a Massachusetts team, or a New England team, instead of a US team I might be excited. Otherwise I wish the US weren’t involved. If it were Canada, Sweden, Finland, and someone else (not Russia either) then I would be more excited. As it is? I just don’t care.
@robertjames1971.blog For the same reason you're finding it difficult to get psyched, I feel like I need a couple of hours of relaxation. The world will go on with or without me.
Plus, I am a US citizen. My father was the son of Swedish immigrants, my maternal grandfather Canadian. I have a lot of family history invested in this tournament.
