I know, and I have nothing against the NHL players of course, I have no doubt most of them want nothing more than play for gold at the Olympics (apart from winning the Stanly Cup  )

 

How will the KHL do all this? Will they pause their league during the Olympics? I'm curious, because a while ago I read that if the NHL doesn't pause, KHL wouldn't do that neither.. 

 

KHL will have a 2 weeks break during the olympics. So all players will be available to play in PyeongChang. Now it´s certain that KHL will benefit a lot from this tournament.

I hope the Ruski's will kick some 'Murican ass in Pyeongchang then as a sort of wake-up call

Will be a real surprise if Russia will not win this In a non-NHL tournament actually Russia might be very likely unbeatable. Just look the Euro Hockey Tour last season, Russian KHL composed team was the official winner already during the 3rd tournament without any surprise.

 

The thing which will interest me the most will be South Korea, now without NHL they have a kinda serious possibility to do something on home ice (well on "home ice" not all players of the team can say that )

Not like biathlon or nordic combined times are more normal.

Why? It's perfect when it's at night:

 

- No other sports outside the Olympics asking for attention

- No non-sportsaddicted people asking for attention

- Only the hardcore fans will be online all night

 

Etc

Yes, unfortunately. And at times I found keeping up with Rio hard (even though there's only 5 hours difference)

 

Maybe I should just conserve my energy for Tokyo...

Decent times for cross-country, I'll be back in the hotel early enough to have a decent sleep

Yeah, because you'll need 2,5 years to recover from two weeks of upside down sleeping times
