[News] NHL and NHLPA announce agreement with IIHF on player participation at 2022 Olympics

Has boycotting these games even started trending on social media yet? Outside of this thread I feel like it's not even a thing. Mind you I lost FB 3 months ago so I'm not really in the know anymore.

Most people just tune out without making a fuss.

Tokyo olympics TV ratings were already down about a third from 2016 all over the world.

The IOC was probably pretty desperate to get the NHL players.

Moving back to hockey talk, how many Flames make their country teams?

USA: Tkachuk, Gaudreau, Eichel, Hanifin?
Sweden: Lindholm Backlund, Markstrom, Andersson?
Russia: Zadorov
Finland: Valimaki
Norway: Pettersen
Slovakia: Ruzicka

Likely Locks for their teams: Tkachuk, Gaudreau, Lindholm, Markstrom, Valimaki, Ruzicka.

Should be lock, but likely on bubble: Backlund

On bubble: Hanafin, Andersson, Zadorov

Probably should be more on the bubble than they actually will be: Tanev

I don’t know about Pettersen.

Norway didn't qualify, so Pettersen definitely won't be there.

It's still sad they didn't go to Korea but going to China under the same and probably worse conditions.

Does China's goal different reach negative triple digits? You gotta think Canada alone scores between 20-40 goals against them.
