So what if my Leafs are occasionally laughable, the Oilers are in the toilet and Quebec is still heart-broken because the Nordiques left town?
It's time for us all to strap on the hockey gear from the basement and hit the collective chesterfield as one.
["Prediction 1 - Canada 6, Germany 1": photo GAH]
When the puck is dropped to begin our game against Germany I want to hear an encouraging roar sweep across the land.
When Heatley skates across the German blue line during his first shift I want the Germans to feel the weight of Canada on their chests.
Yes.
When the German goalie faces his first shot I want him to start sweating and then swear that it’s going to be a long, long game because he feels all of Canada is rolling.
["Prediction 2 - I won't get called up for the 3rd period"]
And when Luongo traps his first shot I want him to sense there are millions of Canadians stuffed behind him between the pipes - all wearing wide grins and suitable helmets.
So, Canada.
Grab your helmet.
