2010 Vancouver Olympics

[Immortalfire]

Tomorrow in hockey
Men: USA/Switzerland, Canada/Norway, Latvia/Russia
Women: USA/Russia, Finland/China

Today is mostly Snowboarding, with some Luge and Speed and Figure Skating. Women hockey: Switzerland/Canada and Sweden/Slovakia.

Curling starts tomorrow!

 

[Dr. Evil]

USA, Canada and Russia should win their opening games.

Looking forward to the Snowboarding and Speedskating.

Where exactly are the Womens Hockey Games being held? GM Place is likely going to be used for Men's Hockey, which gives Canada a huge advantage, although the Americans and Russians as well as the Swedes and Finns have familiarity with that arena due to the large number of NHL players each of those teams have.

Apparently, all hockey is at GM Place.

At least the Men's games will be more competitive.

except that the ice surface at GM Place had to be expanded to fit the Olympic parameters so it will be completely new to everyone playing on it. NHL rinks are generally smaller ice surfaces than those used by IIHF, which is what they use in the Olympics. That's the reason why the Canucks have been on the road the greater part of the past week plus so they could redo the GM Place ice surface.

The Nucks have been on the road for a week now. lol

and it's not like it's the first time anyones played on a IIHF sized rink. Canada will do fine.

As is in everything, Canada will always just be our little brother, tagging along and asking when they can join us at the big boy table.

Canada is like a quiet loft apartment over a really great kickass apartment that's always having parties

Watch It Online

[BlackLantern]

[Dr. Evil]

Is Olympic Hockey going to be relevant in four years if the NHL doesn't return?

 

[Alex The Great]

Sure I guess. They could use the Under 18 guys instead?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Probably use players from Juniors in 2014, although Alex Ovechkin wants to play in 2014.

 

[BlackLantern]

Im thinking the NHL would let guys that want to go play do so, but won't suspend the season
