I would say that this hockey team met expectations. A team made up of overseas players and a couple of NHL rejects was not going to win gold. Would have been worse to lose to the Russians in the final. The loaded OAR will put this German team in its place.

Certainly this does not take the shine off the rest of the Canadian team. Considering the level of funding in Canada and the fact that we have significant doping controls,we have done really well.
