nah I think they will... they know how franked up the you know what they would get from the European players.

a decade ago, taking away the Olympics from NHL players wouldn't be as big... but today with threatening leagues overseas, NHL lost all bargaining chips.

South Korea isn't exactly a feeder country for the NHL. Are there any Korean players? I bet they don't go.

Richard Park might say to hell with the NHL and play anyway...

ovechkin and backstrom for malkin and neal, thoughts?

Poor poor Ryan Braun. He is such the scapegoat.

They should give back the wins to every team.. Pirates would have a winning season or two

You needed them to tell you that? I told you this earlier in the thread. Some peoples kids!!!

Wow just looked at team USA invites. Very solid team is going to be constructed. Everything you could want skill, speed, grit, mobile defenseman, and good goal tending. Russia better not bring that soft skilled team to our grouping. Picture Brown, Backes and Callahan out there forechecking yikes that's scary!!!
