Although it was tough to see Canada defeat the USA for the gold medal in hockey, but the blow was made softer when Sidney Crosby scored the game winner in overtime.  It also means that Crosby has more hardware than Alex Ovetchkin.  He was on the Russian team in 2006 that lost the Bronze Medal game to the Czech Republic, he and the Russians were soundly defeated by Canada in the quarterfinals and couldn't even compete for a medal.  He was also defeated by Sid and the Pens in a best of seven series.  Let's face it, Crosby is a better player than Ovetchkin.  The Russians have gotten away from what made them great when they were the Soviet Union.  From 1956-1992, the Soviet Union won gold in all but two Olympics.  Since then, the highest they have finished with a silver in 1998 in Nagano.  Then they finished with Bronze in Salt Lake City.  The Russians have progressivly declined since then.   Maybe the Russian Officials should consider not taking Ovetchkin in 2014 when they head to Russia.

If you want someone to sugar coat things, please leave this page...after all Jeff Wink is one to tell it like it is, you won't find him beating around the bush. If you team is doing well, sure he will point that out and give you credit..but if your team is "stinking out the joint" he will be sure to let that be known. Wink will give his thoughts on all kind of topics from Pro to High School, but no matter what the topic be ware of  Wink's Wrath!
