    Blame the players. They played 90% of the games along the boards.

      They didn't look good at all...and you are right...they allowed teams to push them out...and they did get forced along the boards...

      about the only guy I saw attacking the puck was Eric Cole...and he was getting his ass kicked half the time...

      I can't think of a thing that looked good for the US team...

        Cole was also kicking a little ass back, specifically Teemu Selanne's ass...

          Among others Nick...

          He got laid out a few times...because he was the only fucking guy for TEAM usHITa that was attacking the puck...

          but Cole is as scrappy as they come.

          A lot of folk look at the Canes and see Staal as the key guy...

          but Cole is the heart and soul of that team of overachievers. He's the guy that kicked them into overdrive in '02 when they made their run to the Cup...

            Time for Canada to get off of their high horse...

            That's what they get for selecting 70% ham-n-eggers....

            Russia will take the Gold now....

                Yeah...and the 70% hamneggers CAN be blamed on the "Great" one...

                  My homeland ignored guys like Staal, Crosby and Spezza, in favour of older guys who did absolutely zero out there. And they didn't even have anyone who could provide leadership.

                  Very disappointing, but maybe this will kick Team Canada in the ass and they'll change the approach next time.

                  You can imagine when Ovechkin scored today, while Crosby sits at a home, my reaction wasn't very good...

                    Canadians played it waaaaaaay too conservative.

                    We are fucking Canada, baby!

                    Throwing puck in deep for a line change when you have possession???

                    Must have done that 20 times a period or more!

                    WTF??? You have the puck, go fucking dominate!

                    Silly shit. Russia deserved to win.

                      It's unreal to me that they didn't get Crosby and Staal on the team...to at the very least...give them the experience...

                      big mistake...

                        Exactly. Dump and chase the whole game. Then they played with the puck along the boards, never taking any shots. Just awful.

                          A lot of criticism of that here when the team was announced. And Wayne is on record as saying that if Lemieux and Yzerman were healthy, they'd have been on the team ahead of others.

                          They would have provided leadership, but we needed some young, scorers.

                                Just ain't the same without Canada vs. USA. We both got beaten out
                                today. *sigh* Another team was meant to get the gold this time around. IMO Torino olympics are not bad at all. Everyone deserves credit where it is due. 2010 they head over to Vancouver.
