3) when can you do it?
4) no one likes to see players drop out. Of course the '72 series missed a lot of great players due to NHL/ WHA
I see your point in everything. I figure why not give it a chance and see how seriously the players take it? I remember the Canada Cups very fondly. Granted teams weren't in the Olympics then, but I have no issue with more international hockey.

Fair.
Want to point out, i am not trying to be "prickly" just stating the opinions I have which have me not remotely as excited as I typically am for the Olympics. The hockey nut in me will still probably tune in, but my general give a bleep meter is quite low for this whole thing, compared to say, even flames pre-season games.
