it wasn't a case of too much. It was a part of his regular medication. He already lost his chance at gold medal. Feb 24, 15:13
Burnside of ESPN "It is absolutely mind-boggling that it came to this." Feb 24, 15:17
You don't know if he took too much or not. Let's wait for the B Sample & all other relevant facts. {nm} Feb 24, 15:34
Obviously would have liked to see Backstrom, Zetterberg & H. Sedin in the Final. Feb 24, 15:39
To be the BEST, you want to beat the Best Opposition. Then you can Claim to be the Best. {nm} Feb 24, 15:40
Thats the right attitude to have IMO. I agree Canada would still have likely won. {nm} Feb 24, 16:02
I myself would pay large sums of money to have a 7 game US Canada series {nm} Feb 24, 16:02
8 Game Series - 4 in Each - just like Canada-Russia 1972. Mens' & Womens'. With you on that one. Feb 24, 16:05
