Thank GOD there were no leaf players on team canada to blow the 3-0 lead late in the third. LOL.
You guys are nuts getting up early on a Sun for that. I got up at 11 and am all caught up on the highlights of the meaningless olympic hockey and know that I get to see REAL hockey again Tuesday. WOOT!

Not really, I would follow it more if there was an actual canadian olympic team, not just taking professional players from a league and stuffing them together for a more or less unsubstantiated outcome.
If you could take these 'all star' teams and let them practice together for a year, then you would have a real competition, as it is, it's just a coin toss of who makes a lucky goal, or doesn't make the save.
Hard to root for team canada when most of the players are from teams I despise. There's just so many things wrong with the setup.

Woke up this morning to my Facebook filled with this:
So of coarse we switched on the TV to watch. We are up at 7 am everyday anyways, the joys of what kids do to you if you are a good parent, up at 7 no matter what.
Then of coarse the Canadian flag has been altered a little since the win of both the men's and women's hockey GOLDS!!!!
I actually said this to my wife when it got down to the third period. First she said...2-0 at the start of the third...we have this in the bag now, so I reminded her of the womans win. Then she said we have it in the bag now for sure...5 minutes left of the third period. So I said it depends on how may Leaf players are on the team. Thanks for clearing that up, it explains a lot how they held the win

How would you do it without nhl players?
Because then you would have to do without the KHL, Swedish elite and other leagues as well, so then who is left to play?
Create a team specifically for international comp, ok, but how is that the best of your country competing ?
You can't expect players to pick and international team over the nhl, that's not fair either.
It's not perfect the way it is now, but it works IMO,
Your just grumpy because you missed 2 weeks of your NHL.

[/quote]The Olympics used to be for amatuer athletes. Which meant that if you got paid to play the sport then you couldn't be an olympian.

Yea but don't you want the best of the best to rep your country ?
We should create a poll and see what ppl think. Nhl players or no NHL players.

I hear this from time to time and say look into it, find out which atheletes are not being paid, certainly not any of the ones on the podium.
I really enjoyed the olympics the way it was this year. The best athletes from all over the world at one venue. And after 2 weeks I have had enough.

lol
i am grumpy about missing out on 2 weeks of real hockey for this shit. Straight up. I think if there hadn't been the bullshit lockout last year it wouldn't be so bad, but goddamit stop fucking with my one and only sport and just let them play.
Olympians should be amateur athletes. Period.

My attention span does not last for a full season, olympics was perfect for me.
Everyone I know that is half decent at hockey was paid to play after bantam, so where do you find 'amateur' hockey players? Hell even the figure skaters are paid, and thats not even a sport...

I think if you make over a million a year to play hockey, you're not an amature. I got paid to play hockey in my day but I don't think I got more than a case of beer per game worth of cash.

What you got paid for was what you did in the shower after the game
