Ryan Miller's Olympic mask is the most patriotic thing I've ever seen

Watching the United States vs. Canada hockey game last night, I was obviously super-pumped to a.) be an American, and b.)still be better than Canada at everything.

Then I saw the close-up of Ryan Miller's amazing mask, and my patriotism went to Johnny Appleseed fighting Nazis with bomb-dropping bald-eagles jingoism.

As if having Uncle Sam on your mask isn't enough, Miller turned him into a jacked-up, demonic Uncle Sam, with a USA tattoo, as if the whole red, white, and blue outfit wasn't enough.

And I think the other side features a bald eagle ripping through his helmet.

(FYI- I did notice this earlier in the Olympics, I just forgot to write about it. But I got the red, white, and blue flowing today.)
