Failure is not an option for Team Canada at the world juniors, but it should be Globe_Sports
First off, there’s us – the people who like hockey and like Canada and like the two things together. Our bovine acceptance of NHL players’ absence from the Olympics continues to amaze.
This isn’t primarily the fault of the NHL and IOC . It’s the players. That they haven’t made Olympic participation the core demand of their next bargaining round tells you something about how seriously they take representing their countries. They’re for it. But not if it costs them any money. The result of this ineptitude is that Canada’s junior hockey team has become our de facto senior hockey team.
You’re starting to see the cracks that sort of pressure creates. One blowout loss and we are at national alert for an impending disaster. The players are so gobsmacked in the aftermath, they’re forgetting the formalities.
