You mean the "Olympic dream team"? Okay, here's the thing..... when one team in a competition is so far outclassing the rest for several years
everyone wants that team to lose eventually except for that team's country. :D
Seriously, take the Russians. They dominate regularly in so many Olympic events that some people just love it when some athlete from some hole-in-the-wall country comes along and beats the Russian. It's human nature. People love to cheer for the underdog.
As for Olympic hockey, I don't think you have much to worry about in that department.... the USA
IS the underdog this time. lol. They're not the only underdog mind you, but they certainly aren't favored to win gold, probably not silver either.
