i watched my home team (The Leafs) play this week. The pace was slow. confused. passes were missed, goal posts were dinged. The energy level was decidedly low. I don't know if this is because I got used to the high octane output of the Olympic teams, or because the players themselves need to get back on track. But based on the comparison, I can almost understand when the Russians claim that the Canadian Olympic team was hopped up on drugs during their games.
The NHL definitely needs to capitalize on this Olympic exposure to the game. What's the network in the US that carries the games? they should be doing a massive NFL style marketing blitz. Play up that silver medal. Even the vaunted Russian Super team couldn't get a medal for chrissakes.
