What do they expect Team Canada to do, not score when they can? I suspect that if that were the case, the opposing teams would be insulted, and Canada would be lambasted for being full of themselves and handing out uninvited pity. I think that Ms Ruggiero is just bitter that Team USA got beat by Team Canada in the last olympics. I would venture to say that if Canada did not do anything but their best, it would be contrary to the Olympic spirit. I say Ms. Ruggiero needs to get over herself and concentrate on what she needs to do and stop worrying about the Italian's team's feelings. I bet she'd be pretty miffed if they were leading the overall goals for board, and Canada accused them of running up the score. It's not our fault they can't score more goals then us. Sheesh, grow up!
Wayne Gretzky is having a lot of trouble getting the media to focus on Team Canada, as they are all busy quizzing him on his possible involvement in Rick Tocchet's gambling ring. So far there has been no evidence pointing to his involvement, althought his wife seems to be. I think the media should stop hounding him, and asking if he should be stepping down from his position with Team Canada. Innocent until proven guilty no?
