How many of those guys were primarily playing not to get hurt? To a man I bet all of those guys would prefer hoisting the Stanley Cup, over getting a Gold Medal.
That's why I suggest younger players who really would see the Olympics as something worth playing for.
Who is the only player in history to win all of the following?:
1. the Stanley Cup
2. an Olympic Gold Medal
3. a World Championship
4. the World Cup of Hockey
5. the Memorial Cup (given to the top Canadian junior team)
6. a World Junior Championship
