Gunnersaurus Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Summer. Not even close for me. I do watch bits of the winter Olympics. But we don't win many medals so much prefer the summer Olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I don't really like either, but I'll vote winter because of that film about the Jamaican bobsled team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they don't finish their run on the sledge. So they finish by carrying it over the line while everyone claps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all NHLers playing in the next Olympics? If so, that will be cool to watch. The gap between US and Canada is quickly closing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap between US and Canada is quickly closing. Yep any available NHLer is eligible, they worked out a deal with the league. I actually think the US team is stronger for the first time in a long while. Dont get me wrong the Canadian side still looks really good but the weakness in goal is quite apparent this time around. Should be some great games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeem Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Summer because it has more global participation. I would like winter more if they add those dog sledge races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I prefer the Summer Olympics. I particularly like the Athletics, but I also like the boxing and the football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Not a fan of either to be honest and although there are a few gems out there, when I see this as an Olympic sport I can't help thinking the Ancient Greeks are turning in their graves...

A possible power play with Crosby, Mackinnon, McDavid and Makar is insane. Edited August 10 by El Profesor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden looks really strong too for that matter, Finland maybe to a lesser extent. It just feels like it's been so long since we've had real best on best international hockey.
