Brawndo Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 Not surprising in the least. A postponement of the Games would be a smart move Quote
Marvin Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 Smart move. Honestly, even if I exclude the games being in China, the tournament was a disaster waiting to happen. 1 Quote
Eleven Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 And there it is. I will be shocked if China postpones the games and somewhat less shocked if the IOC does it. Quote

Wyldnwoody44 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 Good, this is one of the first moves that looks like they are being a littler serious. Quote

Those records might be in jeopardy. Quote

Palm Trees And Taxes Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 Good we don't have to hear smug Canada insiders and writers gloating after winning a 1st round game in the Olympics 14-2 Quote

Sometimes a team like Latvia gives Canada quite the run though. Quote
DarthEbriate Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 The odds of Team China medaling are still 3720:1. Until! the entirety of Teams Kazakhstan and Poland find themselves in quarantine right before the medal round. Quote

Is there a PRC CHL (People's Republic of China, Communist Hockey League)? Quote

Also, all I can find on "blancmange" is a dessert. Edited December 21, 2021 by Eleven Quote

World Juniors is great to watch. Olympics are one of the few best on best tournaments. I’m not a fan of shootouts to decide these championships though. I am glad they are not going, there would have been positive tests and a lot of drama around quarantining, travel, pay checks etc… 1 Quote

Sounds fun. You have to start somewhere. Give them 10-15 years. They have 1.5B people to draw from. 1 Quote
