I've only been following hockey for about a month.
One thing that puzzles me though, can someone tell me why the USA and Canada did so badly at the Olympics last time around? Both scrapped through their group stage and then were knocked out in the quarter finals.
Yeah wasn't sweden predicted to get Bronze or something last time. But yeah last olympics America's olympic dream team (hockey) did horrible. Canada i don't remember how they did. But this year we got Lindy Ruff coaching Canada and Derek Roy is playing for Canada too
I wonder since they only play together for a couple weeks that they aren't familiar enough with each other. I mean the talent is there, but its a team sport, not just individual talents.
could be - i know that the canadian reps have been watching the sharks games in person and are flirting with just importing a line of thornton-heatley-marleau

It was the same for all teams who took their players from the NHL.

Just like the All-star game. watch the movie Miracle. At the end Kurt Russell playing as Herb Brooks said that the Olympics started using NHL players. "Called Dream teams" personally i think it was better when its no the NHL players playing in the Olympics
I liked the college kids also, but the Eastern Block teams were using 'pros', and were quite dominant.
