I don't have a problem with anything the women did. Minus the cigars it's not like that exact same scene doesn't happen every night in every hockey rink in this country. Hockey Canada had to issue an public apology despite the fact that they probably also had no issue with it. However if the men's team were to do the same thing on Sunday after all the flap surrounding the women Hockey Canada would be pissed, and rightly so, at the men's team intentionally putting them in an embarrassing position with the IOC and media.

On another note, 6-1 final...... congratulations to Team USA on winning the Olympic silver medal
