Frankly, this Olympics is almost as uncompetitive, despite Canada almost blowing it twice against inferior teams.
3 of the 4 quarter-final games went to OT, one of the semi-final games went to OT. Several round-robin games that didn't go the way they were expected, unless you focus just on Canada's round robin games.

I'd say this has been a highly entertaining tournament, with deserving teams playing for the appropriate medals in the end of the day.
