What's 24 hours?

Al Strachan, defending the roster choices of Team Canada (bolding mine):

In hindsight, that's a wonderful evaluation. But in the first two games, Bertuzzi was Canada's best forward. Then the $20-million civil lawsuit landed and, all of a sudden, Bertuzzi's game dried up.

That's a nice narrative. One problem though - the lawsuit landed after the first game.
