I'd be pissed if Johnny and/or Mony ditched the Flames for the Olympics, while the NHL continued play.
I would be fine with an U-20 type World Junior line up for Olympic hockey. Similar to the soccer set up.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
