February 22, 20187 yr comment_320824 oh well we got a medal in that event anyway and considering that we've medal'd ever since Women's olympic hockey was introduced, we're still good, we have something to prove in 2022

Granted, Canada and the US continually get better but at what point are the other teams going to get close?
February 22, 20187 yr comment_320844 Women's hockey in the Olympics will continue to be a joke until there is real competition. Canada and U.S......that's it.

Much more interested in women's hockey than men's because without the best players it means nothing. Rob Klinkhammer is on the team for god's sake! Let that sink in, Klinkhammer is an olympic hockey player. You know how I know it's gonna be bad bad hockey? I don't fault the NHL for protecting their investments. I haven't seen the ratings, but viewership must be down for Men's hockey at the Olympics. The NHL can dictate whatever they want, they own those players. You have the World Cup to see them all in. Having NHL at the Olympics and the World Cup just dilutes it all. We see these players for most of the year playing anyways. Edited February 22, 20187 yr by basslicker

You will notice that I didn't just blame the NHL though, I put blame on the IOC and IIHF as well. They were all greedy money grubbing assholes and as fans we have all suffered. Now I have no doubts that the ratings are down for mens hockey, that's what happens when the game all happen in the middle of the night.

I am still hoping that the Men's hockey will surprise me here and as for Men's curling, well we can't win it every year.
February 23, 20187 yr comment_321035 With 3 days left to go in the games, it seems that Canada may surpass it's medal count at Vancouver 10-8-8

February 25, 20187 yr comment_321370 well despite the tough breaks with Curling and Hockey Canada had it's best olympics ever
February 25, 20187 yr comment_321378 ehhh they won more medals but how much of that is purely related to the addition of more medal sports?
February 25, 20187 yr comment_321392 Think they only won two medals from new sports. So still would of broke record.
February 26, 20187 yr comment_321476 How about Norway a country with just over 5 million people, 39 medals well done

Does Norway have cars and roads? I thought everyone just used their skiis to get everywhere.

So weird. Exception might have been a few of the skiing events.
March 3, 20187 yr comment_322352 once every four years CBC digs up Steve Armitage to do the Olympics, otherwise he's pretty much gone from sports-casting.
