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

I don't really like either, but I'll vote winter because of that film about the Jamaican bobsled team.

Watched this at the cinema. Ending was more emotional than Goose dying in Top Gun.

Memory testing lol. I think they don't finish their run on the sledge. So they finish by carrying it over the line while everyone claps.

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.

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!

Summer because it has more global participation. I would like winter more if they add those dog sledge races.

I prefer the Summer Olympics. I particularly like the Athletics, but I also like the boxing and the football.

[Bluewolf]

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...

On the other hand, Russia has Vasilevsky, Sorokin, Shesterkin and Bobrovsky.

Imo, you have so much firepower upfront that if you get average goaltending, it will be fine.

A possible power play with Crosby, Mackinnon, McDavid and Makar is insane.

Yeah I don't disagree. 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.
