What the #*+& is going on in the Olympic Men’s Hockey tournament? Gold Medal favorite and home town Team Canada has been relegated to a qualification game just to reach the tournament playoffs? Impossible!

Team Canada will face off against Germany on Tuesday in a game that could define Canada’s overall effort at the entire 2010 Olympic Games. Lose and Canadian’s won’t remember the great performances of their athletes in other sports. Win and all will be right with the world again.

Team Canada has a history of running into the hot goaltender at the wrong time – during the Olympics. Dominik Hasek did it to them in 1998, Martin Gerber did the same in 2006, and Ryan Miller stoned them on Super Sunday. Enough of the excuses though. Canada has been pretty bad in two of the three games that they have played at this Olympic tournament. A win against Germany on Tuesday sets up a Quarterfinal match with the Russians – that’s right, either the Canadians or Russians will finish out of the Medals in this Olympics, shocking as it seems.

The Canadian coaching staff has a lot of work to do in their day off between games. They have to decide on the fate of a slough of their veteran players who have been simply awful in this tournament. Martin Brodeur could be benched in favor of Roberto Luongo while Scott Neidermayer and Chris Pronger could see their playing times reduced because of mistakes and overall sloppy play that cost Canada dearly on Super Sunday. This team has to find a formula for success – fast!!

There are those in Canada that have argued that being relegated to a qualification game is not such a bad thing. It will after all, give the Canadians another tune up game in their drive toward Gold on their home soil. They should have an easy time against the Germans – if they don’t, Canada does not deserve a medal. Online Hockey Betting at Sportsbook

Team Germany is the type of team that gives a team like Canada fits. Their defensive style has traditionally been tough for the uber-talented Canadians to handle. With a serious lack of firepower, the Germans will have to play this style flawlessly and hope that Goaltender Thomas Greiss has the game of his life. I don’t see it happening however, Team Canada is just too strong.

Tuesday’s playoff qualifying game has an unlikely but deserved participant in Team Canada. Canada has not even come close to playing up to their potential.
