Dude South Korea will be so much better than Sochi. The Russians barely gave a fuck about these olympics. At leas Korea will care and their country is actually pretty nice.

I think you might be just confused, or maybe they don't say it correctly in the movie I can't remember. the olympic games were intended for amateur athletes

Of course it all comes down to money for hte NHL and a lot of the arguments against NHL players make sense - but when you watch how excited/serious these players take the olympic games it almost seems criminal for them to not be able to participate

You realize that S. Korea is a first world country right? What risk is there to athletes?

s. korea is a first world country but there is that slightly troublesome neighbor of theirs to the north. hopefully wont matter but id say that that situation come with some inherent risk

How much better would hockey be if you couldn't replace someone on the line once they got hurt.

huh? It wouldn't be better at all...then people would just go out and try to injure people

Often times when someone is injured they can't/won't go off the ice and leave their team short (i.e. cambell broken leg)

Slashing, when in reality it was just classic hockey trying to jar a puck loose, you can't call that in overtime.

slashing.

the second call against usa was fucking dumb, not a cross check at all. it shoulda been a penalty shot, which could have been just as bad for usa so who knows. everything that happened after the ref skated through the canadian defence and the puck hit the post on an empty net was just ridiculous. what a wacky way to decide a medal.

still, im fucking stoked! good canadian kids. sweet comeback nonetheless!
