Just because someone in the press wrote something up does not mean the coach/team/staff/fans/nation think alike, i thought i wouldn't have to explain that. Another thing would be to look at the author of the pravda article, his name is Timothy BANCROFT-HINCHEY. He's english, not russian.

The only sore loser there is the person who wrote on yahoo article:

"Memo to Pravda: The Cold War ended. Russia lost. Just like that hockey game.
Not sorry for going there."

Goddamn idiot... what does cold war have to do with anything. I guess that is the only thing they teach in high school about Russia is cold war and how they "lost?"..

^^This is exactly my complaint, Gera. (ie; the long rant in the Olympic thread)....why is it that people take one person (or, a smaller group of people's) actions and attribute it to an entire nation? The ignorance of some people's comments are mind blowing.....

And he was wrong for saying that. The whole point of the yahoo article was to point out that the Russian newspaper was being immature in their response yet he drops to their level by saying that. I don't have anthign against Russia nor do i believe that the specific article represents the thoughts of one country or their opinion.
