It's not.

The success on the medal table is even more impressive over the past three Olympics when you consider a tie for bronze in Sochi is the only medal Canada has won in an alpine or nordic event in that time.
As for the men's hockey, without the best I don't really care. Germany making it to the gold medal game is better for growing the game, so as a hockey fan I can take that for what it is. It isn't disappointing like the other under-performances were. We can't possibly hold this team to the same expectations as the ones with NHLers, or even the women or curling teams.
