I really wish someone like Joe Thorton or Jarome Iginla would have scored the game winner. Now we are NEVER going to hear the end of Sid EVER. <br /><br />I am wondering if we would have been happier had we been able to view these games via CBC or CTV. The fact that NBC treats NHL hockey and Olympic hockey like second class citizens is disheartening. <br /><br />The casual fan could not really tune in half the time because in the beginning of the tourney you didn't know where they were and you would be cut out of them most of the time for something else.<br /><br />I hope they keep the woman's game in the Olympics. IF it is dominated by North America than so be it. <br /><br />Congrats to both Canada and USA. I still have my Stevie Y love and Ken Holland and Babcock didn't do so bad themselves.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10996470824491773549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375151.post-23605117891429254382010-02-28T19:35:04.583-05:002010-02-28T19:35:04.583-05:00Great recap and agree with your take.

If you don't know where it is, imagine how casual or non-fans feel.<br /><br />And if the NHL doesn't seen its players to Sochi, that would be a huge mistake. But seeing as how the league has mismanaged itself into near oblivion, it wouldn't surprise me.<br /><br />I would, however, like to get credit for the line about Ryan Miller never needing to pay for a beer again.

I really respect that from a writer. You are a class act Sir.<br /><br />John Treggettlitestufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361201356159215111noreply@blogger.com
