Sure enough. Any medal by the US would have been a great achievement in this tournament. Quite a contrast in the team mentality between Modano's comments above and what Gretz and Joe Sakic had to say about Team Canada's loss to Russia:

Gretzky:

"I take full responsibility," said a drained Gretzky, Team Canada's executive director. "It's nobody else's fault."

"I feel tremendously responsible that we didn't win. There will be accountability over the next couple of years."

"I'll reassess what I'm going to do in the future and what's best for me and Hockey Canada. Hockey Canada is wonderful, my country is great, and I love it dearly."

Sakic:

Canada captain Joe Sakic agreed: "We didn't play well enough. We didn't deserve to win."

I hope team USA didn't ransack their quarters and the locker room like they did before.

Gretz was right...it is his fault.

For some reason, Canadians have in their mentality that we are just grinders with above average hockey skills...well, if that's all you put on the ice, that's all you'll get in return.

Thornton?...Draper?.....Thornton????????????

Crosby shoulda been there...Phaneuf shoulda been there
