And Nagano. That all star team with Gretzky didn't even medal. But they were allowed to return to Canada.  Stupid comments by posters here. 

Thanks to former Canucks coach Marc Crawford who did not use Wayne Gretzky in the shootout lost to the Czech Republic.  Gretzky was not chosen for the 5 member shootout.

Really Kevin Poulin faced only 15 shots and made only 11 saves against Germany..... Didn't watch the game was sleeping but those stats show why Canada lost imo that's horrible.

You needed to watch the game.  :) 

Goaltending was not the problem. He was solid.

So was Crow banned from returning to Canada? That's the whole point of bringing up the 98 and 06 teams that failed to medal in olympics.  Those are a much bigger defeat than this yr.

That's considered solid with those stats..... Yikes, so offence was the problem..... They only took double the amount of shots they faced, looks more like the Germany goalie was more solid.

Have to agree the goalie wasn't Canada's problem. If you watch the goals there wasn't much he could do about them. First one was a good screen by Wolf. Second and third great passes off the rush with good finishes, especially the third goal. Last one another screen with a deflection right in front of the screen.

 

Discipline was very much an issue in this game for both teams. The Brule hit was really nasty.

 

 

 

Hope the link works in Canada.
