The hype will get Jndenway very shortly, but I'm not going to believe a word of it. I'll count the Canadian medals when they are hanging As for Dave King, coach of the- hockey team, heck he was a hero back at Christmas time when his troops came home from Moscow with the Izvestia Cup in their back pock- ets.
