Um, I have to disagree. Our olympic team is a bronze at best. No Bobby Ryan? No Bufglien? But they picked Howard (I know he won't see a net outside of practice) and Orpik?

Good luck. I'll be waiting for the gracious defeat comments when it's all said and done. Go Canada!
Too bad Canada did not win the semis, I would have loved some gracious defeat comments after the finals! Congrats to a possible bronze medal though!
