think it will take more than a single losing team to unseat us from the top of the pile lizard king. it's gotten a lot more competitive than it used to be though i'll grant you. still i can cheer on the finns now. and looking on what passes for the bright side i don't need to drag it out of the sack at 5 am this sunday to watch the gold medal game.

I think the US will be moving back towards college players over the next two olympics. The pros want to save their bodies for the all star game, the road to the playoffs and looking good for off-season trades.

it was kinda wierd this time round. the canucks and the us didn't even make the medal round and the russians went out in the first round of the qfinals. oh well next time is in vancouver so that will at least be in the same time zone as me.

Whether they be professional hockey players or not, you throw a bunch of guys together for a couple of weeks and expect things to click like teams that have trained together for years and you are not being realistic. Given a couple months training together they'd be unbeatable, but that will never happen with the NHL players.

The US should let the winners of the college hockey championship during an olympic year go to the games. It would be extra incentive to win. We should do that for basketball as well and dump the babyish rap stars.

Nan, the problem with the U.S sending a college all-star team to compete against other countries using NHL players would be the result. The U.S team would be wiped off the map, in the recently completed Olympics even the lowly Italian team (half of whom were ex-pat Canadians) would have run a U.S college team out of the arena. The U.S would find themselves back in the relegation rounds fighting for the right to even send a team to the next Olympics. It would be like having the Fighting Irish playing the Chargers or Pats on the grid iron, wouldn't be pretty.

My wife went to see some of the ice hockey in Turin, said the German and Italian teams were dreadful (although it must be said she had no idea about sports generally) - what is the state of European ice hockey is it useless, getting better or has it gotten worse?

i was watching some sports analyst the other day and one of the things he said was that no other olympic team medalled in as many events as canada and another thing was that canadians came in 4th place 14 times in torino. given how thin the margin between bronze and 4th is most times that's pretty amazing i think. bodes well for whistler in 2010 given how many of the torino athletes are going to be around then.

why the hell do people keep calling it ICE hockey, when you say hockey its obvious you mean the proper version played on ice and not ball hockey which is idiotic in its own right, soccer is much better in any case.
