Leaf, your comment about forechecking made me You can tell they were clearly just USA Olympics! fans or they were post-lockout fans. They would have never understood the trap game that was run by the Devils for many years. It's certainly a different game to watch, but what I got to watch, I definitely enjoyed.

I was disappointed that Sweden was down both Henrik Sedin and Backstrom for the gold game. If Sedin was healthy and Backstrom not suspended, I think they had a shot to take down Canada. Daniel Sedin gave Backstrom a lot of praise, saying it was almost like he played with his brother out there. That certainly says a lot about Backstrom's game.

Finland deserved to beat the USA, and USA deserved to be beaten. Burke's time has to be done as GM of the team, and I'd love to see the defensive unit go through some changes for the next Olympics.

Also agree with Leaf's assessment on Crosby and Kessel. Very impressed with Kessel recently, the only reason he still has heat is because he's a Leaf.

Backstroms suspension was BS imo but the IOC has some of the most stingiest batch of people when it comes to performance enhancing shit.

The fans I watched with essentially were made up of people that watch hockey like once or twice a year. I had to tell people what team Quick played for

I mean, I understand it, but he was also under care of the Capitals' doctor and had that medication approved by the NHL. That should have allowed him an exemption. It's hard when you have "professional" athletes like hockey players come into the Olympics though, because they have to be worried about two sets of rules for performance enhancers.

I bet they couldn't even name the Parise's team, and he's the captain of the squad.

Yah they didn't know who Parise was easily.

One person didn't know which team Price played for

The IOC are tough sonsofbitches these days, especially after the hit they took with the free for all in athletics in the 80's.

There was a Scottish skier in Salt Lake City who lost his medal because the American verison of his Vicks inhaler which he used for those two weeks contained trace amounts of a banned substance that the British version did not.

Backstrom was given a silver medal, can't believe they even though to withhold one from him
