exactly it dosent matter. What matters is what happend last time not what happend 3 years ago. Russia has the most gold medals in hockey period USSR or not. And we have the most exciting players in NHL. No disrespect to Canadians they are great. But you cant say Malkin, Afinogenov,Ovechkin,Yashin,Semin,Kovalev,Zherdev or Samsonov arent exciting players to watch.
We could also talk about the fact that Canada hasn't lost to the Russians in any type of tournament expect for the world jrs for five stright yrs before that loss, but it really doesn't matter since where still goin to keep winning anyway.
Ya cause Sakic couldn't even lead, their were some concerns when he was picked captian and I was concerned. Lets face it, he won those Stanley Cups and other international titles cause he played along side proven leaders such as Patrick Roy and Mario Lemieux.
Samsonov isn't :P

All it matters is Canada got shutout and Gretzky left the rink crying
madboost35 5 years ago
Exactly, but they didn't do that in 2002 that's why they won.

thats a country spirit right there, who cares about their contry when they live in US or Little US(canada) all they care about is money.
madboost35 5 years ago
Just when they didn't care. They have no desire what so ever. They were worried about the money that was waiting for them in the NHL.
