Any of 4-5 teams can win this tournament.
And that's what makes this fun

Enjoy it ... Likely the last Olympics the NHL participates.

I may be in the minority, I never liked the NHLers in the Olympics.

I love it ... The only reason I pay much attention to the Olympics anymore. I hope I'm wrong and others are wrong ... I would say if they are in Korea in 4 years there will be some kind of system in place that will evaluate injured players giving teams control to say " no, you need to rest and heal".

Ice hockey:
Sweden-Switzerland 1-0 <:-P quarter final next! I see a gold in the horizon...
(It's so sad that Zetterberg has problems with his back, now we've lost our team captain)</p>

He should never been playing in the Olympics. He's been bothered by back issues most of the season. These NHL players need to remember who signs their pay cheques. Now they say he might need surgery, players who are nursing nagging injuries and choose to play in the Olympics and further injure themselves will be the primary reason the NHL pulls the plug on future Olympic participation. Now the Detroit Redwings must be holding their breath, Datsyuk has also been nursing a lower body injury.

I'm sad to hear that, I didn't know the injury was that serious

Yes it's sounds bad ... As of now he can't fly home until the pain goes down, sometime next week. I'm watching the Canada/Austria game and it was commented that Datsyuk is only playing at half speed. I understand wanting to represent and play for your country, I don't understand putting your team who pays your salary in a tough spot, not mention making it easier for the NHL to pull the plug on future participation.
