Big Deal

I know millions of Canadians are heart broken that the men's hockey team lost today (which is just silly), but this is probably actually a good thing in the long term.

Winning in 2010, on home ice, should be much more important for Canada than winning in Turin.

Doing a 3-peat would've been really tough for Canada in 2010, so might this not be a good thing for the men's hockey team going into Vancouver? Losing in Nagano seemed to help when it came to winning in Salt Lake, and losing in Turin should help when it comes to winning in Vancouver.
