you were heavvvy favorites to win the gold, and it doesn't look good right now for you guys, eh?
maybe the next time people won't just say "Give canadauh the gold" because they are overrated.
its got nothing to do with who is not on the teams, team Canaduh has a great team on paper and should be playing better. staal or spezza would not change anything, right now its fundamentals they lack.
It seems like this happens every four years, but Canadians never accept it as reality. There are other good hockey countries other than Canaduh. Finland beating Canaduh isn't like Pittsburgh upsetting Ottawa like most Canadians would like to see it as. It's more like Philly upsetting Ottawa.
Canaduh does not have anything to prove, no extra motivation as in the past... in 2002, they had the 50 year curse, in 2004 they had revenge for 1996. Of course the Olympics is a motivation, but everyone has that same motivation Canaduh is just lacking that something extra that carried them the last couple seasons.
