2002 was much more of an important win. It was the end of the Olympic drought and a palette cleanse after Wayne & Marc ####ed up Nagano 1998.

Home ice OT win. Otherwise I completely agree, 2002 is significantly more important a victory for Canadian hockey. Way, way bigger deal than 2010. Nearly Summit Series levels of importance. And possibly ahead of 87 in terms of the most important team Canada wins in the country’s history.
2014 is basically a footnote at this point which is hilarious since it was the senior teams most dominant tournament ever.
