And it rages on......


Well, although it seems obvious that NHL players should compete in the Sochi 2014 Olympics, many angry NHL personalities disagree. Take Brian Burke for example, who isn't exactly the Jolly Green Giant anyway, but obviously the debate about NHL participation in the Olympics isn't helping. Nobody really expects the Olympics to not move on if the NHL doesn't come to Sochi. They will move on, and have some amateurs play instead.
That isn't very exciting. I know how great the "Miracle on Ice" was, but that was a miracle. Nowadays, an American amateur team wouldn't beat a Russian team with Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, and other Russian superstars who would ditch the NHL.I guess if nothing gets resolved, we'll just sit around waiting for a miracle. I think Burke said it best, and that it has become an emotional issue for hockey. That sucks. When people are emotional, nothing is easy, and the entire situation is screwed up enough. So, I have nothing else to say, but I will when there's a miracle.
