I'm sick of people saying this. Not just CP'ers, but all over the net, and including the CBC pundits.
It takes away from the non Canadian/American teams that made it fair and square to the final. They worked their arses off, put in their time, played as a team, and won their place in the final.
Sorry to say, but the gold medal game is the gold medal game. Biggest hockey rivalry in the world or not. If Canada somehow drops this game, the whole nation is going to feel how 'real' this game really was.
