I think you're right.
I'm just a 'never say die' kind of guy I guess, thus it surprised the hell out of me when their captain basically said they coultn't win. No matter how tough the opponent is that's something in my opinion you never say. Imagine if Phil Esposito had uttered a similar sentiment back in '72 during the summit series. There'd have been hell to pay!
