Sir, with all due respect, I believe you instigated this with your "big laugh." I am, of course, willing to move past this, if you realize that I'm not here to start anything. I just want to enjoy the Olympic experience on the boards.

Wasn't looking for an apology, but thanks, I suppose.
Cheerio.

No. Salt Lake had NHL sized ice. You'll see it if you taped the game from there...or even the Gold Rush 2002 video shows it...or lastly, if you go to the following site, you'll see that it was on small ice.

11. The Peaks Ice Arena, Provo, by VCBO Architecture, LLC
The Peaks Arena at Seven Peaks Resort offers 114,000 square feet of building and features dual international- and NHL-size ice hockey rinks as well as seating for 2,000 spectators that can be increased to 8,000 during the Olympics. The facility also contains multiple locker facilities, a pro shop, clubrooms, a concession area, and administrative offices. Seven Peaks Ice Arena hosts the men's and women's Olympic hockey events and serves Club League Hockey and the Brigham Young University Ice Cats. The facility also handles community functions such as concerts and parties.
The problem for Canada is the big ice...and they don't have a clear leader to lean on while they figure out how to play on this big ice.

Disagree. The smaller, craftier players have simply been left off of this team (for the most part). Speaking of Kariya, Sullivan, Crosby, Bergeron here.
By the way: does anyone other than me think Bergeron would be a nice addition? He's a work horse that does it all. Not an elite talent right now, but proven performer, high intensity, great speed, and he and Crosby have looked good together before . . .

Bergeron...
Why didn't I think of that!
Oh well, something to look forward to in 2010 then.
He's also the fiery character that this team could use.
And while we're having fun, maybe the other Bergeron on the back-end could look good in a tournament which places emphasis on skating and quick transition.

if there was a game Canada was going to bounce back in, Finland was it. this whole "saving it for the real games" is ridiculous. you think they didn't want to score on every shift of every one of the prior 6 periods?
if they were capable, they would have come out ON FIRE in Sunday's game. if there was a comeback in them, we would have already seen it. by all means, may the the optimistics comparing this year to the 2002 round-robin stumbles go on enjoying that mythic world for another 48 hours or so.
it's so funny, like Cheney shootin somebody and the hardcore's comin up with excuses. this team isn't a team, and it's a riot to read the apolosists spinning when they've had a shotgun of snake-eyes in the face.
shut me out once and we'll call it hot goalie; shut me out twice, shame on me.
today was the comeback, and it didn't happen.
ya ever seen those building demolitions in slow-motion?

They've dug themselves in a hole, when nothing goes in players get nervous and then nothing truly will go in. I am Finland fan, trust me I know, watching Nash on that breakaway was like watching Hagman. It shows all over their game, they are tentative with the puck and as such are way too slow to move it. Which means they have to work like horses to get any kind of chances.
What you do in a situation like that is keep it dead simple. Bang it in, battle in the boards, get shots. Quinn knows that and they started doing that in the later periods against Finns. It should pay off eventually.
