I apologize to all that are offended by this thread, these games are already a success psycholigically for Canadians (Two gold medals and counting) and will be fondly remembered if we can get that Mens Hockey gold medal.

I think it is one of the biggest mistake we as Canadian sports fan can make by tying the perceived success of these Olympics on the Men's Hockey. Oh and your financial argument is kinda bunk considering all the renos that would have had to be done to the 'existing infrastructure'.
