First.

I thought if you looked at the last 6 periods of hockey team Europe was the best team by a considerable margin.

Just didn't have the talent to put away the Nucks I guess.

I find hockey strange that a team can clearly play better in almost every way but still end up losing.

Posted this in the other blog earlier:

Not sure if anyone else has seen it, but Patrick O'Sullivan made an excellent suggestion. He suggested before this stacked group of Canadians age too much (Within the next 2-3 years) they should have a "Ryder Cup" style hockey series. Canada vs The World in a 7 game Series. I think that would be absolutely amazing to watch, and Canada is currently so stacked, I believe that's the only way to give this group of guys a true challenge.

Mike Babcock is the only coach to capture a Stanley Cup, World Cup, World Championship, World Junior Championship, and Olympic gold medal, all by the age of 53. A true milestone!

Pff, O'Sullivan said that on Twitter on the 27th, I said it on Tanner's blog on the 25th. Clearly O'Sullivan is stalking me.

Or it's an idea lots of people have had.

Whatever.
Meh.

"Sid now currently holds a Stanley Cup, Olympic Gold, and World Cup championship. "

What about Perry, Bergeron and Toews?

I think that is meant as "reigning champ"... current holder of those titles.

Got it. This would have been true for Toews in 2010 and Bergeron in 2011.

But, what about this claim - "Team Canada has now won 26 straight games with him in the lineup.
"
Please elaborate.

That's a considerable overstatement.
