The defending champion Canadian men's hockey team is now out of the Olympics after a 2-0 loss to the Russians today. And the fact of the matter is they simply didn't deserve to win. The Russians were a better team. And even though they beat the Czechs 3-2 yesterday - only due to the heroics of Martin Brodeur in goal - the Canadians didn't deserve to win that game either. And they definitely deserved their loss to the Finns on Sunday. Worst of all, they even lost to the lowly Swiss 2-0. I mean, this is a team that scored no goals whatsoever in 11 of the final 12 periods they played in this tournament (and 2 of the 3 they did score in the first period against the Czechs yesterday were really soft goals). The simple reality is that the Canadians sucked!
