It was almost another storybook comeback for team Canada who dropped to 1-6 going into the third period. The World Junior Canadian team abandoned their gameplan and were punished by Russian scoring. Maybe it was the curse of the Calgary Flames in the Saddledome, maybe it was shoddy refereeing, but Canada won’t be taking Gold and it hurts.

The next generation of hockey fans won’t be provided anecdotes of the great game of ’72, the World championship wins, the Gold Medal game in 2004. No, fans of tomorrow will all hear about the clutch performance by the 2010 Gold Olympic Medal Men’s hockey team who beat their new rivals Team USA. In fitting fashion, the Olympic Games wrapped up with the tournaments two top teams squaring off in front of a sold out stadium and a country that stopped in its tracks to watch and wait.
The game was a highlight. I had mentioned in the second period that, “I hope we don’t win 3-0, I’d prefer a nail-biter the heads into the 13th hour.” Little did I know I was a prophet.
What’s better for sport and fan? 3-0 win in regulation, or a 3-2 win in overtime?
It’s far more stressful but I’d opt for the 3-2 win in overtime because then the victory tastes that much better and the memory lasts that much longer.
The Own the Podium campaign has been a bust. But everyone has said so long as we win gold in hockey we’ll put up with the below average performance by the rest of the Olympians. But what happens if we lose in the quarters?
Canada’s national pride was taking out back yet again and spanked hard. The dream team? The super team? Try a bunch of hockey players performing like the rest of the Olympic team–subpar. Canada lost to an average American squad 5-3 who capitalized on mistakes and rode a hot goalie to victory.
Canadians aren’t happy. Twitter is rampant with people casting blame here and there, but frankly the blame rests squarely in two places: Brodeur and Babcock.
@dtjbrown said: Mike Babcock is and idiot. Here’s a guy who coaches by the names on the back, not the crest on the front.
True words indeed. Let’s take a step back and scrutinize the team from top to bottom.
Is it just me or are you embarrassed as a Canadian to watch women’s hockey at the Olympics? In it’s fourth Olympics the competition hasn’t gotten any better. In fact, the HUGE disparity between countries is a sad testament to hockey development and an indication that it’s completely outside of the spirit of the Olympics to maintain. Some agree with me and suggest that the sport should be dropped by 2018.
Think of it like this, Canada destroyed Slovakia by a 18-0 margin. Slovakia in turn destroyed Bulgaria 82-0. Your kids tyke team could do better. That’s embarrassing and clearly points out that developing nations can’t put out a product that rivals Canada or the US. They don’t have the money for development and likely never will. The product will eventually get better, and we may have to sit through blowouts as the sport grows, but in the meantime it’s not worthwhile to watch Canada run up the score on hapless competitors. Your thoughts?

For the latest in Flames news and also Calgary Stampeders new from Stampedersforum.com!
Take a second look, is that the 2004 lineup as the new coaching staff?! Darryl Sutter, GM for the Calgary Flames, announced along with President Ken King, that Brent Sutter is the new head coach of the Calgary Flames.
Some fans lost some cash trying to get first dibs on Grey Cup 2009 tickets, realising tickets would increase in some cases 15X higher than regular season values, and declining to purchase tickets before they went on general public sale.
These fans apparently lost all their deposit money. More on the issue at StampedersForum.com

The first way you can watch Flames Games online reliably is through NHL Gamecenter. Although that option isn’t free you are assured you won’t miss a game, especially important if you’re an avid fan and you don’t live in Calgary. Calgarians who have cable should be able to get every single game now with any package with Sportsnet. CBC, TSN, and Sportsnet will cover all games, PPV doesn’t exist for Flames games.
