Women's hockey is a joke, and actions like this only go to further that point. If you want to look like trailer thrash, do it on your own time. Don't make our country look like an ass (this type of celebration is exactly what most of the people on here complain the Americans are all about. An in your face, FU to the rest of the world). It's not like winning is even much of an accomplishment. Two teams playing an entire tournament only to play a game against each other that everyone knows is going to happen is not a sport.
What John Montgomery did was spur of the moment, and nowhere near an Olympic sporting venue. This "celebration" was clearly planned. The girls didn't just get handed beer from the crowd, they went back into the lockeroom and felt the need to bring it on to the ice (or have someone bring it to them).
As you can probably tell from my opening statement, i'm no fan of woman's hockey. That's just my opinion though. If they want to keep it in the Olympics, fine with me. These women should have the common sense to know though that they are being watched by a eurocentric IOC. Doing anything even remotely close to crossing the line is putting their sport in even more jeoprady. I'm growing really tired of the Canadian Womens Hockey Team's act. The us against the world, our sport is being oppressed by the men, we'll do what we want attitude is really getting old.
*** I'd be just as disappointed if the men did if they won.
