STAR ATHLETES LOVE (OLYMPIC) HOCKEY

STAR ATHLETES LOVE (OLYMPIC) HOCKEY

Despite just missing Gold, with their tremendous Olympic effort, USA hockey certainly gained some fan support — the Twitter World was buzzin’ as star athletes from all sports voiced their support for USA Hockey before, during, and after the game.

Fellow American Olympian Apolo Anton Ohno caught the game first hand tweeted live at GM Place:

Wow...USA! You guys inspire me!!! All heart! Like a lion!! Chilling upstairs with Lindsay Vonn and friends http://tweetphoto.com/12861842

Larry Fitzgerald showed his tremendous faith in USA Hockey when he tweeted

Gut check time for Team USA...Miracle On Ice Part 2...GO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!! #LetsgoUSA

We all knew about Larry’s remarkable physical ability---but predicting the future as well?

WHAT I TELL YOU!!!!! USA IS NOT BACKING DOWN!!!!!!!! #LETSGOUSA

The always vocal Jay Feely borrowed Al Michael’s timeless words just after Zach Parise’s game-tying goal. He tweeted

USA!!!USA!!!no way!!! I think I hear al Michaels 'do you believe in miracles?

Fresh off a Super Bowl victory, Reggie Bush showed his true patriotic colors by tweeting

I hope everyone understands just how big this is! Take it in! This is for our country!!!

There was certainly one person who wasn’t swept up in the patriotic fervor that swept the twitter world last Sunday. However, Steve Nash, undoubtedly pulling hard for his own native team, could not even watch the game. Canada's finest was flying to a game of his own as his team triumphed in Vancouver. Nash, as always, still remained classy in victory.

Congrats USA on a great tourney. Thank u Canadian team 4 getting it done. So proud but worst flight of my life. Sid the Kid?What can u say?!
