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

It's all just posturing and bargaining bullpoop.

IOC loves having the NHL players in the Olympics because they're such a huge draw and the NHL also knows that is no better time to grow the game of hockey and ultimately the league than WHEN THE ENTIRE (frank)ING WORLD IS WATCHING! From a business point of view it just makes sense.

Now if the NHL really wanted to promote the game, as well as the business side of the game, then they should bring back the World Cup of Hockey every four years, but stagger it with the Olympics so that there would be a major international tournament every two years, similar to the Euro and World Cup of Soccer.

Depth, man. If someone gets injured wouldn't it be nice having multiple good options as replacement call-ups?

Did Kadri knock out Grabo or did Bozak knock him out?

Me thinks it had more to do with Bozak.

I'm 50/50. Seguin for Kessel is fine......still don't know what Hamilton is. And Knight is now performing in the AHL.

Indian housewives hold about 11% of the world's gold. That's more than the reserves of the USA, IMF, Germany and Switzerland put together.

Can't weigh it as a win or loss anymore, it's too diluted.

Benn-Seguin-Nichushkin could very well be the next dominant line in the NHL. Kessel and JVR really drive our team offensively, too. Eriksson was a great pickup for Boston, he's just been injured. Smith as been better than expected, too.

Ask yourself this......... Who is likely to be in the Hall of Fame some day of everyone involved in the trade.
