I guess I didn't know because I wasn't reading the forum at the time. Ridiculous nevertheless that people said that...
It actually wasn't just forum hopedicting (hopes rationalized into predictions, but it's a made-up word). I recall Sports Illustrated saying something similar in their Winter Olympics prediction.
I actually think T/M could have crushed all the teams in Vancouver if they continued skating after Torino. A few weeks ago, they were skating together at a show. They did a beautiful 3 sal throw and Marinin did a perfect 2 axel. And that's considering they don't practice for competitions anymore. On the technical side, they were often almost untouchable.
I wouldn't say crush, but given the level of skating in Vancouver and their technical prowess (with a hint of luck, as always), it could've happen.
