Can the boys come home now? I miss Red Wing hockey.
What a disappointing Olympics for me.
Agreed. This Olympics just was not as good as I expected.

Aren't the majority of players in the Olympics from the NHL?
Maybe they should use smaller ice...
Has nothing to do with the team makeup, the point was, you cannot crash the crease the same way in international hockey that has always been a problem for Canada. They are really allowing more of that then they typically allow and that in my opinion is because that is standard in the NHL.
I know all but one player and that would be Jimmie Ericsson (who has turned down NHL offers) are NHL players, not really the point I was getting at.
Total domination by Canada.
I was rooting for Sweden just because of the number of Wings on the team. It was a pretty boring game though and overall olympics. I'd rate Russia-USA game as the highlight of the tourney
Gotta say as a guy rooting for Canada I find the turnaround in our Olympics threads the last couple days as Canada beat America and Sweden pretty fun. Went from a pretty bouncy energetic atmosphere in these threads to basically everyone saying the tournament sucked

Not really, not at all.
This is terribly boring hockey.
What did we get to see?
Crosby 1 goal in 6 games, Teows, Malkin, Ovechkin ....
Great goaltending? No
Hits? No
Goals ? No.
Boring to death

Agree for the most part but there were some pretty great goalie performances in this tourney. Price was great (that defense didn't hurt), that Latvian goalie's game vs Canada and Rask.

Well 4 years ago we beat Canada once then got damn close to doing it twice.
So then we had to wait 4 years to match up again, and acquired some high expectations and hopes in the mean time, then had a really disappointing showing.
So yeah, pretty much just took the wind out of our sales.
I left the 2010 Olympics just waiting for 4 years to go by with huge excitement for the 2014 Olympics. After this year I don't have the same feeling at all. Quite the opposite actually.
