Final Olympic Notes

This is the last addition of our Olympic notes:

• It's weird/awesome how the men's and women's podium finishes were the same (Canada, USA, Finland)


• Both of Canada's gold medals allowed the men's and women's team to regain the #1 spot in their respective IIHF rankings.


• With the gold medal, Eric Staal becomes a member of the Triple Gold Club. This makes Canada even with Russia for members with 6. Russian Media already accusing Staal for steriods.


• With Halak's performance at the Olympics, he is guaranteed to be traded (it's hard not to shed a tear while saying that).


• Finland is definitely going to go through a re-building stage before Sochi 2014 since there is a good chance their stars (Koivu, Selanne, etc.) will retire before then.


• And finally: Crosby's goal will be this generation's Canada's goal. Although it will be considered #2 all-time (behind this guy).
