You guys may have beat us in hockey...but then you had Nickelback play.

Just so you Canananananananananadians know, Nickelback is less popular than a pickle:

I dont get why americans think most canadians like Nickleback, infact most canadians hate them.

Im a proud member of that group.

Go pickle!

I don't mind Nickelback.
Then again, I started liking them well before it was cool to hate them.

I liked the stereotypical Canadian Buble-fest-o-thon that took place.

I also heard Nickelback before they got popular...one of my local radio stations did plugs for smaller bands, and back in the day Nickelback was riding the post-grunge movement. I would probably hate Nickelback less if [they were less popular] or if Chad Kroeger wasn't such a tool.

[] = I put that into brackets...my feeling on Nickelback's popularity is that there is nothing wrong with being popular. I'm not one of these people who hates bands because they are popular...I mean obviously...I love a ton of popular bands from DMB to Metallica to Incubus...what drives me nuts about Nickelback is that a lot of people think they are hard rock or metal and that they are the ceiling for what those genres have to offer. In a way Nickelback sort of promotes closed-minded music listening for a lot of people.

Anyway...I give you Canadians a hard time. I know you all don't love Nickelback. In fact a lot of awesome music has come out of Canada, including one of my favorite hip-hop labels.

Also, serious congrats on Hockey.

I think Russia mad a very stupid choice to have Socchi host the 2014 winter games. They are building about 99% of the needed buildings (event building to hotels) from scratch to the tune of 17 billion dollars.
