This is just ridiculous.
Since 1990...so the last 34 tournaments, they have won the gold 14 times, and silver medal 3 times.
That means they have been in the final in literally half of them.
Not one other nation can come even close to that claim.
I mean I get that the organization dropped the ball in the biggest way possible off the ice and that all the changes (that have already happened) were necessary, but they regularly send super good teams to this thing even though most years their very best 18 and 19 year olds aren't available because they are in the NHL.
Not to mention that the other nations are getting really good at the game as well.
