I don't think he has so much spoken as whined. He wants to pass off the blame for Canada's early weak play onto the fans and away from himself. He sure put together a roster of superstars, unfortunately they have yet to be dubbed a "team" by anybody. Some of his players are complete babies when it comes to every aspect of life (Eric Lindros),some are just troubled, unfocused and irresponsibile (Theo Fleury) and some are just really really old (Yzerman, Shanahan, anybody on the Detroit Red Wings). Gretzky's statements did coincide with a pickup in Team Canada's level of play, however I doubt if The Great One's comments had any direct influence on that improvement. With the star power in his lineup and the fanaticism of the Canadian fans he should be mopping the floor with teams like Germany and even Sweden. Gretzky's comments were more a cry for help and mercy than a legitimate gripe, and I personally lost respect for the Canadian GM.
