I don't think it's much of an asterisk, tbh. Does Babcock get an asterisk for winning with Team Canada? I mean, Hamilton should have asterisks for driving by far the best car.
You really believe Finland would have won it all I f NHL players had not pulled out?
I don’t think there ought to be an asterisk when every country’s best players are available. What is Babcock supposed to do, desist? I think it’s a false equivalency as we have many countries who dominate outrageously in several Olympic events and their coaches shouldn’t get asterisks either.
But, anyone winning in a severely diminished playing field has a questionable win IMHO. Desharnais and Weal were playing for Team Canada, patched up with a bunch of retreads and rejects. What a joke.
Let the Finnish coach rest on his other laurels where the playing field was at its very best. But not this charade.
