As I posted elsewhere: 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 (which was getting a lot of flack from home after the first two games) to put it on himself, and he certainly succeeded in getting the spotlight put on himself. I don't know how brilliant a ploy this was, but he was VERY quiet and low-key on the CBC last night.

Both Fetisiov and Gretzky should be ashamed of the way they behaved.

Agreed.Watched CBC last night after the game & he did seem low-key,if not relieved & emotionally exhausted. Guess having the expectations of a nation on you is pretty tough! I"m just tired of the fashionable "U.S. bashing" going on & hoped it would stay out of the Olympics. Where you from? First person I've talked to in this forum that gets CBC...

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.
