great point Alberta, especially the time zone coverage.

Wasn’t the scoring last Olympics off the charts and these Olympics more subdued?

Thanks. I don't think the scoring was out of the ordinary in 2010. Jarome Iginla of Canada led the tournament with 5 goals in 7 games, which isn't a huge total.

I think scoring may be down in recent Olympics because you don't see as many lopsided scores that used to be common when you'd have powerhouses like the Soviet Union facing countries like Japan that barely qualified to get into the tournament. The top 12-15 teams in the world are probably more evenly matched than ever before.
