With Finland's loss to Sweden in the Men's Ice Hockey Gold Medal game, Olympic All-Star Defenseman Kimmo Timonen will take a silver medal home to Nashville, where three bronze medalists will greet him. Olympic All-Star Forward Teemu Selanne will take a silver medal home to Anaheim, where gold medalist Samuel Pahlsson will greet him. And a total of five Red Wings will take Olympic gold home to Detroit, where bronze medalist Robert Lang will greet them. Like they care. After dominating the world under the Swedish flag, the Wings have to get back to the business of kicking around the NHL.And it was ever thus.

I couldn't figure out how 5 Red WIngs could be taking home Olympic gold when the U.S. finished out of the running for medals... then it dawned on me. National sports elude me. International sports... PUHLEEZE! Did you hear Bob Costas tout Joey Cheek to Yale? What a guy :)
