No, I am really looking forward to the Olympics. The absolutely best hockey is played in the Olympics and not the NHL or any other league. I love that tournament! I also like the World Cup of Hockey..
Anyhow, today swedish newspapers are complaining about how certain NHL teams are telling the swedish national team coaches that their swedish players are way too injured to play in the Olympics.. and then they play them fulltime in their own teams. They're basically forcing Sweden to go to the Olympics with their backup players because the NHL clubs are afraid the stars will get hurt during that short tournament.
Hey, here's an idea: how about NOT playing 82 totally pointless games before the playoffs! Lessen the amount of games to 60 and I am sure you'll see a real decrease of serious injuries during the season. It's not the Olympics that are hurting the players, it's the constant pressure to perform day in and day out for almost a year in the NHL that's the culprit.
