Czech's 3, Canada 0

It would be rough being a Team Canada player. Anything less than a gold medal and it’s a poor performance.
Today’s silver will be forgotten after a week of the media wondering what went wrong. Why couldn’t we score on Vokoun? How did we allow three goals to cross the line?
I think what Canada needs is about ten years of losing. We need to get the pressure off our players. Canada is considered the favorite at most tournaments and other teams use that.
Canadians also have to face the reality that there are some really good teams out there. It was really anyone’s tournament. The USA, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Slovakia. Everyone had a good chance.
I don’t know why we think we should be rolling over all these other teams. It’s just not going to happen anymore. The hockey talent is evenly spread throughout the world.
We still have the majority of the players in the NHL, but the number is slowly disintegrating.
I didn’t think Canada played their best throughout the tournament. I know we didn’t take all of our best players, but silver is still pretty damn good.
Maybe next year our players won’t have quite the load on their backs as they did this time around.
