I hope all the best NHL players will show up - but we all know it's rather unlikely. If the olympics were in USA or Canada... But fortunately these ones are in Europe and i would really like to go - 3 days, ice hockey, figure skating and short track - that would be fun

All the ice hockey fans:

 

In an imaginary world, if olympics are this season and if NHL makes a break for games, and if all the best players say YES - what is the real strength of all these main NOCs here? Who should make it to the Top 4???

 

POL will not be there, if they somehow get there i'd be extremely surprised

 A long time ago I wrote an article on the worst Winter Olympic country of all time

:CAN :USA :SWE

 

:FIN 4th,

 

:CZE with the pole position for the 5th play however Attenzione for :GER with the Draisaitl, Peterka & Seider squad may very well prevail.

 

:SVK team will be very very very young but extremely promising, all our new generation stars around Slaf, Nemec, Dvorský, Mešár, Honzek, Adam Gajan & co... will be around for the next games in 2030 and may be a medal contender even in a full NHL best on best tournament, MARK MY WORDS ! But 2026 In Cortina (If we qualify there, which is still not certain at all...) is still their first try and a bit soon, we should make however with such roster the quarterfinals but will submit there to one of the big 4.

 

:SUI very last dance will be in Milano, so perhaps they may finish among top 4, it will be their very last opportunity, in opposite to us, SUI have very bad prospect for the future right now, once their current stars retire, they will have to survive a very unfortunate period of waiting for new stars I am affraid, maybe for even a decade...

 

The rest will battle for the last quarterfinals spot and unless huge HUGE upset, but no chance to repeat a BLR-SWE of Salt lake City stuff nowadays I am persuaded, it should be the end of the road in 8th place.

 

 

This is all in case of NHL best on best Tournament and without Russia obviously.

 

If RUS will be there, They will win Bronze I guess, or even face Canada in the final where they will lose to them. and USA in this case will as we know their tradition  lose the bronze medal match to one of the Nordic giants.

I hope the NHL comes, last time Italy hosted Canada flopped, but this time hopefully we can win gold.

 

I hope Canada wins more gold this time but atm I can't see it happening :(

:CAN :USA:SWE and :FIN are the main 4 hockey powers (excluding Russia) and should all contend for a medal. :GER is also good if the NHL goes. :CZE :SVK would have outside shots as well. The rest are also-rans imo

    • I just woke up. It's surprising that Malinin lost. Before the Olympics, I thought there was a 99% chance Malinin would win. I can only say that this is the charm of the Olympics.
    • I'm far from perfect but for the most part my skeletons are funnier than they are problematic - just stuff I prefer to not share on International television :P   I also don't have an SO to cheat on (...anymore, since I am a divorcé and single-ish xD )
    • Always incredible to see people freely share information that you could not waterboard out of me

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
    • When I was recently in Warsaw in December and walking its streets, I have the impression that for about 5-10 years, 1/3 of your athletes of most of popular sports summer and winter, will be probably came from Ukraine/Belarus etc., but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the war contributed a lot to this, and it's not over yet    Poland did a great business with Semyrunyi, but it was certainly influenced by the fact that they have an indoor track and good training conditions there, but it could have been as you wrote, that today he would have won a medal for Kazakhstan or Germany. At all, Poland currently only has excellent sprint teams: men's and women's, so someone like Wladimir would be very useful in the long distances, because without him, Poland is practically nonexistent there. And yet, they have one more medal.    The Czech Republic, however, has the greatest luck: no indoor track at home, no major home events like the Olympics, etc, all the attention on ice hockey, but for 20 years they've had Sablikova and now Jilek- probably for next 20 years. Sport isn't always fair. Actually, Slovakia could at least get someone like that now, just to balance things out, instead of always having lucky of one country
    • "Hey man, did you touch that rock?" "No, I didn't" "Are you sure, because it looked like you did. You're a good guy, but it looked like you did" "I promise you I didn't" "If you say so" "FUCK OFF!"   -Bad dude   "*mumble mumble* easy to make shots when you touch the stone *mumble mumble*" walks away "Who touched the stone?" Surprised Pikachu face "Who touched the stone?" Even more surprised Pikachu face "Fuck off"   -Not great, but understandable.    If you think someone cheated or made a mistake, talk to the official or confront them nicely. It's not like these guys don't know each other. It's not like Team Canada or Team Sweden hasn't been here before.   This can be turned around and put on the Swedes lashing out over being terrible their first three games. It doesn't appear anyone needs to cheat to beat them right now. 
    • Uf.  Finally managed to watch the last few skaters.  That was painful (Malinin + all the others...).  Happy for Shaidorov  .  He had a great skate.  Now off to nurse some wounds...   (Can we get a reverse upset and have Campbell Wright pull off a biathlon medal?)
