Question about Olympic Hockey past and present.....?

They dress to extra skaters so yes the olympic rooster is bigger. I was wondering if they made them bigger because in some rinks (I don't know if Vancouver is one) the visitors bench is not long enough for the backup goalie- he sits on the other side. Add two more bodies and it would be cramped.

part 2- not a clue.

As a Canadian I will be disappointed but the sun will come up tomorrow. For some reason I would have preferred to lose to Slovakia in the Semi's than the US in the final. Hard to cheer against Slovakia (the little country that could) The cdn US rivalry is such that losing to the US will hurt more than losing to Russia.

That and my uncle who thinks he is an American keeps calling to remind me how well the US are doing.

Olympic teams can dress 20 skaters and 2 goalkeepers, versus 18 skaters and 2 goalkeepers in the NHL. That probably has something to do with it.

Part 2- 7,700 people (Herb Brooks Arena)

Yes, I will be very disappointed if the USA can't get the gold. I saw an interesting article that said athletes prefer the bronze medal to the silver because they are happy just to make the podium with the bronze, but for the silver they are disappointed to come up short of the gold medal.

Kovalev? maybe for the HTHOF ( the T is for expertise whether found out or not) That pronounced if he realizes his purpose of enjoying till he's 50 and enjoying 2000 NHL video games I say enable him in. Fringe guy not component to the widespread Osgood/ Dino Ciccarelli discussions. guy carbonneau could be in as a participant. interior the previous due 80's early ninety's he became the main dominant protecting expert of the day. optimum shutdown center who could score additionally. 5 20 purpose seasons and four greater with a minimum of 18. He won't have been as dominant as Bob Gainey in that function, the russians under no circumstances observed as Carbonneau the main suitable participant interior the international, yet in that mildew of shutdown guy he could be in. He could get in, he has been up against a gaggle of proficient offensive varieties considering that he grew to grow to be eligible. Edit: on a similar time as we are speaking appropriate to the protecting fringe of the interest, how approximately Mr Ironman- Doug Jarvis. comparable style of guy 964 consecutive video games for the ironman checklist and what's greater outstanding is 964 occupation video games. He under no circumstances ignored a interest EDIT2: I had to ascertain to confirm he became not in before submitting the respond.
