I personally find it unwatchable because the hockey is so awful. I get that men are stronger and faster - I am not looking for Scott Stevens hits or Matthew Lombardi speed from them. But why are these essentially professional hockey players, who have been playing all their life, and basically on the same team, so unskilled??? Why can't they pass or use teammates or make creative plays? There is no reason why women can't be as "skilled" as men after years of practice. These were the best 2 teams, yet what I see is: get puck at red line, skate in straight line, ignore teammate(s), take weak shot, rinse, repeat. Explain that to me, defenders of the women's game - why can't they play better hockey???

Why can't Russian men play better hockey? Apparently they suck too! Malkin, Ovie, Kovalchuk, and they can only muster up two goals in an elimination game. They shouldn't send a men's team next olympics. They couldn't make a cohesive play all game!
I can make stupid arguments too!
