I love ice hockey and used to play it as a kid, before I had my accident, and I love watching it on tv. It hardly gets any airtime around these parts anyway, so I am usually restricted to watching short NHL bits on the internet.
Now with the Olympics at least they will be showing some ice hockey on tv. But for some reason they're only going to be showing the men's ice hockey. I want to see all of it. It's like people are saying that women's ice hockey isn't important...
I think that's a very backward attitude for this day and age.

Expected, really... there are six or seven teams that can give hard time to any other team, but the remaining few rarely become anything more than a hindrance.Rocket Surgeon said:Wow...Canada wiped their ass with Norway!

Still of course, we've seen a fair share of upsets from those lesser countries as well over the course of history.
