Olympic hockey is a joke
Most countries around the world don't even play hockey. And TBH, only 4 countries at the beginning of the Olympics had a chance to win gold: Canada, U.S., Sweden and Finland. What a waste of time. Canada should have played the U.S. from the very beginning.
But then, the Winter Olympics as a whole are a joke. Norway is going to win the most medals. Countries frozen over a lot of the year have a huge advantage.

Most countries don’t ski, snowboard, bobsled, nor figure skate either. So what?icon wrote: ↑20 Feb 2026 20:05 pm Most countries around the world don't even play hockey.

Maybe look into why the Norwegians actually win so many medals. You might learn something.

Re: Olympic hockey is a joke
Countries earned their spots. Players have pride. I think the four nations was equally as exciting. But there was a certain allure about the Olympics.
I would be OK if we let amateurs go back to playing in the Olympics. I don’t think we need to shut down the season. I’m OK with an All-Star game or a four or six or eight nations once in a while.

Hockey is the only competition?
Your public whining deserves a medal — for public whining. Toast another Pop-Tart.

Iceland should win gold in hockey.

I'm not talking about ice or northern climate. Then it would apply to Sweden, Finland, etc. This is specific to Norway.BleedingBleu wrote: ↑20 Feb 2026 21:17 pmThose poor Norwegians have no shot at beating Ethiopians in a Marathon, nor beating Americans in a Hotdog Eating Contest.sdaltons wrote: ↑20 Feb 2026 20:48 pmYou're so close to getting it haha.icon wrote: ↑20 Feb 2026 20:05 pm Most countries around the world don't even play hockey.

Re: Olympic hockey is a joke
So you can't bring yourself to do any research - only want to complain. Obviously what I'm talking about is specific to the winter Olympics so sure, being a cold climate helps. That must explain why Norway has 37 medals and Sweden, with about double the population, has 16. Yep, you've blown the case wide open.icon wrote: ↑20 Feb 2026 22:40 pmName the Brazilian, Australian or Indian bobsled teams.sdaltons wrote: ↑20 Feb 2026 22:37 pmI'm not talking about ice or northern climate.
