"I'm still brittle." Connor McClavicle

 

I feel bad about this: Connor McPeanut. Because he's brittle.

 

I dissagree, their forward ranks are just better set up than ours, they have a 3rd and 4th line that can score to.

 

Matthews, nylander and marner pushed guys like komarov, bozak to the 3rd line where they belong.

 

If only we had a high-draft pick Center behind ROR and Eichel that could anchor a third line.

Good. Anything that makes the IOC a dime should be ended immediately anyway.

 

This will likely be resolved between the players and owners during the next lockout. Which will be ongoing during the Beijing Olympics.

 

Edit: never mind, February happens before June.

I'm told the NHL has directed teams not to discuss possibility of individual OLY participation with their players. League will rule later.

I feel like I'm in the media minority but I've always thought it was insane for NHL to shut down its season for 3 weeks to go to Korea.

 

 

Harrington with a great point: since it's in a country where hockey isn't big, nobody in America is going to pay attention to the Olympics. Nope, definitely not gonna get any American coverage. I mean Jesus H. Christ. For a league desperate to attract non-hockey fans, the Olympics are a perfect way to market its players to those who aren't NHL watchers already.
