Suffering the hockey blues

Yesterday was a pretty big day in Torino for Canadians. Lots of good and if you're a hockey fan, one big DOH! At least that's how the front page of the Vancouver Province called it. I thought that this was a pretty amusing headline.

 

Anyone watching Canada play hockey yesterday would have to admit -- we didn't deserve to win. Where was the heart???

 

At World Juniors -- those guys placed with heart.

This Olympic team was flat. I can live with them not winning a medal -- but it would have been an easier pill to swallow had they had gone down playing great hockey. That just wasn't the case. Would our young talent have helped -- perhaps -- Phaneuf, Crosby and Spezza would have maybe brought some youthful enthusiasm -- but leadership and experience is important -- it shouldn't be discounted. That said, they could have gained experience this time around... so who knows... I just know that you can blame whoever you like, but you should blame the players. Coaches always take the heat -- but they aren't in control of what happens out there on the ice... and boys... you stunk. Bad.

 

just my two cents..

and can I just say, yikes -- 2 canucks with injuries... ohlund and salo..
