Agreed. The funny thing is some people equate a gold medal to being the best. Sorry but that is not the case for certain sports. You have sports like track and field where the person who has the lowest time, the hardest throw, or the highest jump in the last year and is winning all the meets is almost guaranteed to get the gold unless something freakish happens. But when the favorite wins they are the best based on the measured values. But for sports like hockey or other competitive games, it's dependent on the players, the team, the coaches, the dynamic, and other factors. You see it in soccer where sometimes a team that isn't slated to do well ends up winning (e.g. Greece winning Eurocup).
So Canada didn't win but Canada didn't send its best (the NHL stars) so did we really lose? Under different circumstances we probably win.
Why the Bundesliga? Just because it's in Germany, the league has players from all over the world. Same with the other leagues. I know you're being sarcastic but at least be correct in the point...lol
