I'm not saying that the team did poorly, they were the second best team in the tournament. I'd be happier if we had won bronze than if we 'won' silver. If winning doesn't matter, why keep score?

I agree, sure silver is still great and I don't think were being "sore losers" but it does suck not winning, especially when we made the sport. |

You make no sense.

It was a great tournament and so what if we didn't win gold, we came out with silver!
Both teams put up a good fight in the final match! It was bound to happen sooner or later. We only did dominate the Juniors for the last 5 years guys...there's always Boxing Day 2010!

Although either one still requires a loss at some point, winning the bronze means that the team ended the tournament in victory whereas silver requires a high profile defeat. Bronze is sort of a 'turn lemons into lemonade' deal, making the best out of a bad situation. Silver on the other hand just leaves me thinking that we almost won gold ... but not quite. Taking a step back and looking at total medal counts, yes silver is better than bronze. But in the aftermath of an individual tournament I would rather have seen our team win the bronze than lose the gold.
All we can do for now is look ahead to the Olympics. Women start on Feb 13th and the men on the 16th

Allen sucked that game and should've been pulled earlier, it never should've went to OT. Giving up a huge rebound right to the slot on a weak blue-line dump in wrister....sad.
That states team was an unreal fast bunch of kids though. Kinda bummed that I didn't win any of the huge 50/50 draws that they had....I guess the total pot for the last game was something like $290k!!!!

I completely understand your viewpoint and couldn't agree with you more. I've always phrased it "losing the gold" rather than winning the silver. You never win a silver medal. They could have all gone home the day before and defaulted, and the results would have been the same. Sound harsh? Maybe. It's called reality, and it's what makes winning the gold ever-so-sweet. Losing the gold, quite simply, sucks. Ask anyone on that team. I'm proud of my team. They fought well, they fought long, but came up short in the end. Better luck next year!
