Silver and bronze finishes can be good indicators of consistency, particularly when measuring relative dominance.
If Canada had 3 golds, a silver and bronze, it would indicate a higher consistent level of dominance than 3 golds, a 4th and a 7th. Only taking into account 1st place finishes provides for an incomplete overall picture. It counts the highs but (purposely) omits the lows.

One last thought on the 4th place finish from Nagano. I don't know anyone who thought Canada would beat Finland for the Bronze medal. With all due respect to Finland they deserved to win the that game and outplayed the Canadian team. Hockey culture in Canada has historically said that if you don't finish 1st in a tournament the rest doesn't matter. Finishing 2nd or 8th still means that you lost. Canada has often lost games that determined positioning other than first place. The incentive, the edge, is lost often in a shit show. On the flip side that is one of the reasons Canada wins so often.

Canada has more gold medals in Olympic tournaments featuring NHL players. And other best on best competitions. AND in the Olympics & WCs w/o NHLers. I would say that's dominating.

The US mens hockey team hasn't done anything on the world stage since 1996. Should probably worry more about that first.

Lol, US has nothing to do with your absolutely
delusional characterization of Canada.

Canadian Hockey butt kissers were
telling us how "dominant" the 2021 WJ
Canadian Team was...lol. Care to tell me
how that ended up? Hint it wasn't called
domination...lol.

I personally don’t get some other Canadian poster’s obsession with the USA, for me Russia is the main threat and adversary. But we are talking about best on best at senior level, not junior hockey

Not when you go medal less 2 out of 5 times tool.

And the other times are 3 gold medals :sarcasm: that's more than the other nations. That is domination. Get over it.

Cool, congrats to the US juniors, maybe now they'll actually do something on the men's world stage for the first time in what, a quarter of a century? What a tool you are.

Once again a one shot game. Something that you can do hockey. I don't think anyone will tell you that the American team was more talented than the Canadian team.

There is very litte difference between the US Jr group
at the 2001 and 2002 levels.

Do I need to remind you that that in effect
the US B Team beat your A Team in The Hlinka
and don't give me ANY BS about it. The goal
was scored after the game ended. Then two
years later the US beats you again in the same age
group. Also spare me the Laf/Dach BS as US was
missing Hughes, Robertson and Beecher.

Funny, I remember in January this group of Canadian players watching the US players get GOLD put around their necks. Payback is a bitch isn't it?

Considering that we won it last year, and have 13 more gold medals, im not too torn up about it. Can't win them all I suppose.

How about doing something relevant at the men's level now? Like....at all :huh:
