It wouldn't by IOC stopping the players it would be the NHL and NHLPA

Well if the Olympics stops letting professionals play, this will replace the Olympics as the best players in the world playing. I don't know about you but I will not watch a bunch of amateurs that couldn't even make the lowest level of Pro play hockey.

Did you see the picture of the monstrosity of a garbage can substituting for a trophy they have? Who'd even notice what they put on it?

Just watched the media availability, I can just imagine the amazing conversations Benning and Miller must have.

I dont know if the players individually get anything for winning it all like they do in NHL and olympics....but could you image them tying to put that on a player ring?

Thanks to Google, I haven't been to a doctor in 15 years!

Hell, I even test my own blood!

oh god no.....please, please never use google for medical stuff. Its my field remember. It's useful in stats on stuff or researching something with definitive answers NOT something subjective and interpretive like medical cases where opinions are needed. There's also tons of errors in that online info. I have to deal with people googling stuff and getting misinformation on almost a daily basis.

Using google for medical issues is a bad bad idea. Dont use it unless you feel like potentially dying from the answers....just go to an actual medical professional for christs sake.

Why would they stop letting professionals play? Discussion is only whether NHL will interrupt its season. All other relevant professional leagues will.

Ya have to agree here. Well over 50% of the results you get on medical searches are pure bulls**t...probably even higher than that. There are a few credible sources online but ultimately people need to get their lazy asses in to see a physician.

My GF went through a 'home remedy/google phase' a few years back which provided little to almost no results. There was a few that worked...but really she has been back to her doctors for the past few years and never felt better.

Google of course is good for some things...but it always appears whenever you search for medical advice you literally get 10 different answers to the same questions and 10 different directions to go...
