To the Canadian Men's Olympic Hockey team.......

I saw what you did there. You convinced our goalie to give the puck away at the beginning of the game so as to let the Americans score first, thus giving them the lead and a false sense of security. That was very clever. I didn't see that one coming.

Then you stayed in the game just enough and pelted the American goalie with enough shots to make it look like we weren't actually giving the game away to the Americans. That would have looked too suspicious. A spirited, but ineffective rally in the dying minutes of the game also added to the illusion. Well done. Bravo. They'll never suspect anything.

So, now that we have the Americans thinking that they actually have a shot at a medal, we're gonna blast through the Germans and let somebody cream the Americans so we can meet Russia in the finals. Right?

Right?
