Let's get the men's 8 tonight gold and everyone will be able to breathe again.
It's all about odds though.

Medal hopefuls are probably in that 5-8 range in the world. The chances of them winning a medal is maybe 25%. So really with 4 already competed Canada should probably expect 1 or 2 medals at most. But really, the odds are still likely that there's going to be that big fat zero in this case.

If Canada is still shut out after tonight's events and 4 more medal hopefuls then we're starting to lag behind.
