[QUOTE="Canucks, post: 507403, member: 43938"] A majority Canadians believe whatever Cherry says and get really hypocritical this time of year. Case and point Sedins being called divers (which they can be) but Dustin "I'm a flying ballerina" Brown getting a free pass? Or last year Mike Milbury's rant on how Vancouver as a city is full of pompous trash and no one on CBC defending us. Or my ultimate favorite, how classless Vancouver is yet Boston taunts and throw trash at a player who just broke his back and had big enough balls to skate back to the bench. I know the rest of the country has quite literally nothing to cheer about for hockey recently (especially Oilers fans) but it was pathetic how the country kind of abandoned Vancouver in the final. Love this country sometimes. Meh, with that though comes my favorite canadianism. Any time a discussion about the best cities in the world, Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal will get honourable mentions. However, they are always followed by someone from Edmonton saying Edmonton really isn't that bad. To be fair not having a full squad at the euro World Championship is essential to everyones development. Canada gets players introduced to systems and show players what big ice is like. As well, Canada gets to thinker with different team make ups. Plus you can't have all those Oilers prospects golfing every summer until they leave in UFA. Russia gets to think they are good enough to beat us when it matters (7-3 best on best though.) And smalled countries like Norway and Denmark get to develop. If anything, this tournament has massively helped Switzerland (Canada killers.) I felt the 2010 olympics was the best hockey tournament ever as all teams were playing a decent standard (except Russia.) If anything you could have tossed a few more teams in and really rounded out the tournament. God I hate Sutter hockey. What on earth did I do to deserve a LA vs NJ final? [/QUOTE]
