Russians quickly went up 2-0, but Slovenia is hanging in there. Its basically Anze Kopitar on a rec league team but they are making the home fans nervous.

 

Nothing to be nervous about in the US game. 5-1 now. Slovakia changing goalies, because you know, it's the goalie's fault that the US is getting all those point blank shots.

What an epic choke job by the USA long track speed skating team in this Olympics. Davis has been the best in the world in the 1000 on the men's side and Richardson and Bowe the two best in the 1000 on the women's side and all 3 come up empty and weren't even competitive for medals.

Stricter testing in the Olympics?

I'm not watching the game, but a scoreless first against NOR has to be a bit of a disappointment for CAN. Especially when goal difference is a tiebreaker and the US is already +6 in their group.

Lots of chances, they look a bit disjointed so far.

Why not? don't know the history of it. But why is NHL against it when all of the world plays on Olympic sized ice.

 

Because the NHL shares most of its arenas with NBA teams and the NBA teams don't want the seats any further from the court than they already are.

And existing stadiums would have to be retrofit for new ring sizes, and I m sure no one wants to foot the bill for that.

NBA is not the reason it is the lost revenue of the ten rows of seats surrounding the ice that is the issue. The NBA rolls out folding chairs and portable seats now. The NHL losses its highest ticket priced seats and a lot of them.
