Next one is in Korea. Let all the Korean players quit the league and go play. Problem solved.

dont be dense.

players like representing their country at the olympics.

you're smarter than this and you are intentionally twisting my words.

i do not appreciate it.

i'm not angry

but i am growing tired in hearing the same stupid "the players wont be at the next one" argument every damn time

2002, 2006, 2010, and again this year.. same thing.. just annoying
- Dozzer

I was sure they league would be back after the last couple.


I think this is it though.

I don't think they will be at the next one either. If it were at a hockey power nation maybe...but I think the NHL ownership really does want to step away and host a World Cup, where they can make more cash. The Union would like to see some of the profits as well.I might be wrong, but that's what my gut tells me.

yes yes yes.. you guys honestly dont remember these exact same convos in the media last time? or the time before that? or before that?

i give up.. continue living under the umbrella of media nonsense.

Making a joke.


The ONLY reason Ovie said that was cause the next Olympics was in Russia.


You know that.

gives something to talk about for the sheep out there
- big_dion

rather talk about.. anything else.



ultimately the players will make the call ... its their damn bodies.

what are the owners going to do, sue their own assets? please.

would you care to go do some research on this and retract your statement?

i'll give you the chance if you'd like.
- Dozzer

They don't in the prime spots. Not nearly as much as they could for an off-season World Cup.

As in, there aren't really any games on TV beginning after noon. Some people have to work! And for a large part of the country that means before noon start times.

With another WIN for Canada.

Definitely a different opening show.

Talk to the Americans who played in 96'. I think they considered it a huge honor to play and win that tourney.

Sure...but thats just Fluff anyway. How often does the NHL do anything to distract from the game ?

That's pretty condescending.

We'll find out in a few years I guess.

its actually very condescending

haha Shaun White got shut out. A well deserved fail.

I don't remember him being anything but classy and graceful....unless by upset you meant scoring 4 goals against the Sharks...then he must have been livid.
- Jeropotato

Mustn't of watched his interviews then.

He did tear it up after the news though.
