I can't say that I watched every single game as I think I saw about 6 periods total, but I didn't see them score a goal. Like everybody else I don't think the effort was there and there was zero intensity. I, for one, don't agree with NHLer's playing in the Olympics. They are already in the spotlight and in events where typically amateurs excel and have a chance to prove themselves why do NHLer's need to take over.
It is like the lockout and they go steal people's jobs in Europe. It took me a while to actually watch hockey this year, but getting back into it. I am a loyal baseball person though and excited for the season. Again, I am unsure about this World Baseball Challenge, but we will see. I guarantee that Canadian kids in that will be giving it everything they got, as most of them are trying to make a name for themselves against the powerhouses.
It would be nice if hockey was like that. I look at a guy like Jamie Heward who couldn't stay in the NHL, excelled in the world championships and is now back in the NHL and excelling. It would be nice for more stories like this.
