Today, I am a woman of torn loyalties. I'm American, born and bred, and will be rooting wholeheartedly for my national team today when they take the ice. But I'm also a Sharks fan. Team Canada has four Sharks on it: Marleau, Thornton, Heatley and Boyle. I'd love for these guys to win gold. It's a potentially heartbreaking scenario.
No matter what, all five Sharks on the ice today (Joe Pavelski will be on the ice for team USA), will be coming home with medals. That's something to be proud of. I can't lie though, if the USA takes silver, I will feel some disappointment. But it will be short lived. My pride for the overall success of the Sharks, and the knowledge that this will be a well watched game here in the States, will overrule any disappointment felt by not seeing my boys win the big, golden shiny.
Go Team USA and Go Sharks!
