    The article is posted here.

    Below is an excerpt from the article.

Olympic Hockey – Crowds, Crushing Hits & Coaching Decisions

Dejected-Canadian-fan-001

With two great games on back-to-back this past Sunday, it felt like a blessing to have tickets.  Given that watching Canada play in the Olympics was on my list of sports fan must see’s, I was already pumped beyond belief.

The talent present on the Czech, Russian, American and Canadian national teams was startling.
