SOCHI, Russia – Sweden’s star center Nicklas Backstrom wasn’t allowed to play in the gold medal game against Canada after testing positive for a banned substance.
An NHLPA source tells Yahoo Sports that Backstrom violated anti-doping rules after using an allergy medication. Some, like Claritin, contain pseudoephedrine, a banned substance by the IOC and the World Anti-Doping Federation
The source said he was pulled from the locker room before Sweden's pregame skate, after being announced in the starting lineup. The source indicated he was tested on Friday.
It was reported before the game that Backstrom, who plays for the Washington Capitals, would miss the gold medal match with a migraine, after he didn’t appear in the warmup.
Backstrom is Sweden’s top line center, with four assists in five games

The ears ring with the bold music of an attack...
Make an accurate pass, shoot hard!
And everything is right, if on the ice is
The Magnificent Five and a Goalkeeper!
Chorus:
The ice brotherhood combats hard
And we trust in courage of daring guys
Real men play hockey,
No coward plays hockey!
Let the place behind the rival's net to be more frequently
Illuminated by red lamp's victorious flash!
But if there's a need, defends brilliantly
The Magnificent Five and a Goalkeeper!
Chorus
Many beautiful games would be seen
And we won't forget, we'll never forget as long ago
Gold and cups have been won at ice battles by
The Magnificent Five and a Goalkeeper!
Chorus

Sometimes there are miracles in this world.
And as if it is a joke,

By accident was born in Canada.
To the battle on ice
Everyone had that passion. That ancient passion.
Shaybu! Shaybu!
The victory is ours.
Shaybu! Shaybu!
Guys, we are with you.
And if its really needed, we will score another

Posted via RS Mobile
Correction: Nothing will ever compare to Canada beating the godless commies in 1972. I kid you not. The whole country stopped working to watch the final game. Same over in Russia.
So much drama in that series. Alan Eagleson being rescued from the Red Army during the game by the players (he gave the crowd the finger, LOL). We fans in Canada and NA, for that matter, were led to believe that Russia would be swept by the mighty Canadian squad. By end of game one, it became clear hockey was not just a Canadian game. We lost game one 7 to 3. The fourth game was one of the darkest moments in Canadian hockey. I was so ashamed to say I was from Vancouver. The fans booed our team during the warm up.
Team Canada was booed off the ice at game's end. Responding to the negative public and media reaction in light of the expectation for an overwhelming Team Canada sweep of the series, Phil Esposito made an emotional outburst on Canadian national television:
"To the people across Canada, we tried, we gave it our best, and to the people that boo us, geez, I'm really, all of us guys are really disheartened and we're disillusioned, and we're disappointed at some of the people. We cannot believe the bad press we've got, the booing we've gotten in our own buildings. If the Russians boo their players, the fans ... Russians boo their players ... Some of the Canadian fans—I'm not saying all of them, some of them booed us, then I'll come back and I'll apologize to each one of the Canadians, but I don't think they will. I'm really, really ... I'm really disappointed. I am completely disappointed. I cannot believe it. Some of our guys are really, really down in the dumps, we know, we're trying like hell. I mean, we're doing the best we can, and they got a good team, and let's face facts. But it doesn't mean that we're not giving it our 150%, because we certainly are.
I mean, the more – everyone of us guys, 35 guys that came out and played for Team Canada. We did it because we love our country, and not for any other reason, no other reason. They can throw the money, uh, for the pension fund out the window. They can throw anything they want out the window. We came because we love Canada. And even though we play in the United States, and we earn money in the United States, Canada is still our home, and that's the only reason we come. And I don't think it's fair that we should be booed."[74][75]
Brad Park and Frank Mahovlich also criticized the booing. According to Park: "We get nothing — not a dime for this. Brother, I'm sick". Other players were more sanguine. Dryden didn't lash out at the fans. "I'm disappointed, but I can understand it. The fans wanted us to do real good, and they're frustrated we didn't. I didn't think I deserved to be booed. Tretiak frustrated us, but I guess I didn't frustrate them enough."[74]

seemed so fitting that crosby scored it. (whether you like him or not, it was almost his destiny to score that goal)
the celebration downtown after
I wish Vancouver could host the Winter Olympics again, what are the chances of that happening a second time?
Posted via RS Mobile
In our lifetimes? 0%
The only time it could happen is if the host country cannot complete in time. The choices then would be to cancel the games, postpone them for a year, or look for alternative. If the host country's games were called off early enough, it may be possible.
Some hurdles to overcome: Olympic village, security issues, venues needing upgrades, etc.

Steve Yzerman steps down as Team Canada executive director
Steve Yzerman won't be going for a third Olympic gold medal.
Team Canada's executive director says he will not lead the team into the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Yzerman built the team that beat Sweden 3-0 on Sunday to capture a second straight men's hockey gold at the Sochi Olympics.
He leaves his post after leading Team Canada to back-to-back gold medals for the first time since 1948 and 1952.
He assembled one of the best defensive lineups ever to wear the Maple Leaf in Sochi as Canada gave up just three goals in six games.
They shut out the Americans 1-0 in the semifinals before defeating Sweden in the final.

No need to apologize......... your post gave me a chance to bring up what people call, "The Series of the Century."
Many said it was the defining moment for hockey. It opened up our eyes to how good other countries' hockey teams and players were. Everybody wanted Vladislav Tretiak, their greatest goalie, and arguably the best goalie in hockey history, to come play here.

definitely had an anti-climatic feel to the game but who cares? GOLD :D
2010 was for sure a better experience for a lot of us, can't disagree there.

Thought marty did, but looked it up and it was a World Championship silver medalist

Are you just going tampa or Miami and Orlando too?
We were really spoiled in 2010.
I remember checking the Nike force fate ad's everyday and loved the one on the very last day after the men's team won gold.

GOLDDDDDDDDDDDD!
It would've been more competitive if they weren't missing Zets/Hank and Backstrom but than we might've walked away with Silver instead of Gold :(
Even if we won in OT like in 2010, I still don't think this or anything can be compared to the 2010 Olympics. Everything fell into place and I don't think anything will even come close to it.
+170 for -1.5 goals canada on bodog? Thank you

2.85 for -1.5 on playnow...its under puckline option..oh yes $$$

Good on Crosby and Kunitz for coming up big in the gold medal game. To all the critics that said that Sid wasn't doing enough in the Olympics and Kunitz not worthy of being on the team, shut the hell up.
Big game players play their best when everything is on the line. Sid scores on the breakaway and Kunitz shoots a laser at Lundqvist after a Swedish turnover in the neutral zone. :gun:

We were missing Stamkos and Tavares ...
I doubt Sweden wins that game if both teams have all their players at 100%.

2010 was more epic personally because my force fate ad was shown up on the big screen and supposedly there is a picture of it at Langara at some olympic archive.

Justin Bieber is not amused by ‘Loser keeps Bieber’ wager
Justin Bieber, teen idol and amateur car racer, is beloved by many and the cause of annoyance for many, many more. The Canadian native has called the United States home for the last few years, but Americans have looked to return him to his native land, with over 250,000 signing a White House petition asking for his deportation.
The White House has refused to act on Bieber’s deportation, forcing Americans to try increasingly desperate measures to urge him back north of the border.
Before the Team USA-Canada semifinal hockey game a large billboard in Chicago decided to place a wager. The billboard featured Chicago Blackhawks stars Patrick Kane (playing for the U.S. ) and Jonathan Toews (representing Canada) with the words “Loser keeps Bieber” sprawling across the bottom
Well, after the U.S.’s devastating loss to Canada, it looked like Bieber was going to stay put.
Unfortunately, Bieber did not find the bet funny, and he took to Twitter to broadcast his grievances.

Sid was one of our best players throughout - always going full-on, always quick on the backcheck... he did pretty much EVERYTHING except score, right up until it really counted.
This is pretty cool.

Now that I don't live in Van I don't watch Hockey regularly, but man is Crosby just a complete player, its obvious that he's good on both ends, but I especially enjoy the small stuff like throwing the puck into the corner without looking, knowing full well Kunitz would be there....and other stuff that I don't remember LOL

Once upon a time....
I call USA GOLD in the Final game. Plus I like their jesery's compared to Canada. Yuk!
Does anyone know where I can buy USA men's 2014 hockey jersey locally?
Stop fanboying Carter. He sucks.
If you play with all stars and you can't score wtf.
Its like Crosby and Cunitz. Cunitz wouldn't be shit with Crosby.
Carter wouldn't be shit with team Canada.
Just saying.
To be honest, I think/want USA to win and I feel they have want it takes to Win Gold vs Canada in the Finals. They lost in Vancouver and the are HUNGRY for the Gold. Their team is similar to 2010 but with a mix of mature and young top tier talent. More so than the Canada in my opinion.
I think its harder for Team Canada to defend their Gold Metal performance. Especially 4 years later.
I am a fan of Luu. But having Price in net will prove to me that Price is an overrated goalie. I just want Luu not feeling that he let Team Canada down by losing in the Gold Metal Game.
Go Team USA!
