I thought Wayne's remarks were appalling until last night. Gretzky said last night he went through that rigamarole to take the pressure off the team

Sorry, Wayne, but nice-nice like that doesn't wash with me. I thought he was better than that. Canada has marvelously skilled players and especially after the figure skating fiasco the greatest player in the history of hockey could perhaps have found it within himself to rise above.

You know, if you can't handle being beaten, you shouldn't play the game. I think they need to think long and hard about sending their amatures. From the things I am hearing about the Canadian government being destabalized if Canada would have lose is just to much. It just seemed to me that Gretzky was setting his home folks up for excuses if Canada lost. I have to be honest and say, I hope Canada never wins another medal in competition again. I will be chearing for the Russians or Czecks to be the Canadians next time.
