puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted February 27, 2010 There isn't any, which is why I'm hoping the Olympics goes back to amateurs only. Me, too. After watching the Latvians and Czechs play, that was what I wanted to see. Scrappy, determined, great hockey, edge of your seat. I literally was whooping out loud at the game winner! That's fun. Not a bullying blowout... that's not fun to me. At all. Hoping for a winner on Sunday by one goal, maybe two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Draperfan 104 Report post Posted February 27, 2010 Wish Sweden was playing instead of Slovak. At least they try to score. Who would you rather play for the gold? Slovak or Canada? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted February 27, 2010 Ok lets see if i got this right....Canada is winning therefore theres no competition? No, I've felt that way for a while. I thought it was cute and a novelty, but if other sports have to adhere to the "amateurs-only" rule, then men's ice hockey should as well. It has nothing to do with *this* Olympics cycle. However you'd have to be completely blind to think that aside from the US, Canada, Russia, Sweden and maybe the Czech Republic.....there IS no competition. Part of what made the "Miracle On Ice" so miraculous was the fact that a bunch of wet-behind-the-ears college kids beat the Soviet Red Army team, which were essentially paid players much like today's NHL'ers. Amateurs beat professionals. It should go back to amateurs-only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted February 27, 2010 Maybe ytou should read your own post,you said sweden was competitive yet the slovaks beat them. Maybe you should learn not to be rude. Sweden IS competitive, they are comprised of almost 95% NHL players. The fact they got beat by a team that was not is not a sign of competitiveness, but rather a sign that on any given day, a team can lose that should have won and vice versa. Again I ask you, what does that have to do with my overall point? There are very few teams that can field almost all NHL players. The fact that ALL teams are not afforded that is a sign that there is no parity in Olympic men's ice hockey and it should go back to amateurs-only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
