So I was reading the new SMR with Mario Lemieux. The article mentions Mario and Gretzky winning the Olympic Gold Medal in 2002. Against the USSR.

"Lemieux’s return to active play also saw him head up the 2002 Canada Olympic team in Salt Lake City. Teamed with Wayne Gretzky, Canada downed the USSR in three games to capture their first Gold Medal in half a century."

Did the USSR make a comeback in 2002? I must have missed that.

    Mario Lemieux was the greatest player ever... next to Bobby Orr.

    Wonder what his career numbers would have turned out to be, if he did not have the back problems??

    Mario is the greatest ever. I would have loved to have seen him stay healthy.

    I thought it was Siam they played in the finals.....

    In that one sentence, there are three errors- USSR didn't exist, they beat USA in the finals, and Gretzky wasn't a member of the team (he was the coach). Whoever wrote that article needs to not be writing articles.

    The USSR came back? Hmmm... is that Lenin I hear shouting... "Do you believe in miracles? YES!"

    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
