No I get that, but what I'm saying is that they could probably dump this whole team, and go and recruit another team about 3 months before the Worlds, have a couple of practices, some beer and wings and win a medal at the Worlds or the Olympics.
I think we over romanticize about things like this because we're Canadians and the game is in our blood.
At the end of the day, what does the Olympic committee or USA Hockey really owe this team. Training, facilities, travel, equipment and coaching, they're not a pro organization, Its supposed to be about the opportunity and sacrifice.
