Pronger - Dejected and DONE
Well, well, that BITES, but doesn't surprise me even in the slightest the way they played through this tournament! I think next Olympics NHL players will be allowed again, because it's here in Canada, but I wouldn't be surprised in the least if after that it's done. Many of these NHL guys do not play with the urgency and drive to win an Olympic medal the way, say the Canadian women do. The woman are together as a team for 8 months and train and play and practice with the sole purpose of winning an Olympic medal. This band of egos arrived 24 hours before their first game, and their highest priority is winning the Stanley Cup! As it should be, as it's those teams that pay their salary. You have to play as a team, not as 12 supah stahs!
I feel bad for them, and I'm mad, because I'm a Piss Poor Sport, but it's done like dinner.
The USA faired exactly as good as us with their team of NHL players.

I think they need to rethink the whole "allowing NHLers to play for the Olympics" too. It's stupid they ever allowed it in the first place. I didn't even care about men's hockey. I enjoyed the women's though, because they play because they love it. The men play for a pay check, their drive and determination just isn't there.
