These guys have an opportunity to win Bronze for themselves and their country. But ya know what? Every single player on Team Canada would rather have a plane ticket right now.

I'd rather the "Only gold is acceptable" mentality of Hockey Canada than the "Just being there is good enough" mentality the Canadian Olympic Committee adopted prior to 2010.

I agree on the first. On Drouin's penalty, can't argue it. It's a bad rule, but it's a zero-tolerance rule and the referee doesn't have the benefit of replay.
