John Tavares tore his MCL and is out for the Olympics and the rest of the NHL season. He will be replaced by Martin St. Louis.

Jeez that's a real shame. I love Tavares, he's really developing into an NHL superstar. It always sucks to hear when hockey's top stars/prospects get injured like that.

I don't think it's going to make a huge difference to the team, as great as Tavares is he's on the 4th line, I'm just bummed he's out for the season.

It will also give the NHL pause in letting their stars play in the Olympics

That's true too, man. The olympics are playoff-level intensity and beyond. Very risky, especially when you get a team like Latvia with nothing to lose who are going to play extremely physical and finish every check with authority.

If you're a playoff team or a team struggling for a playoff spot, it's gotta make you nervous having your stars out there in that kind of intensity, so close to the end of the season.

Women's gold medal game was a war. Great action, lots of drama, epic comeback, HORRIBLE reffing.

Well I reckon the men's team won't allow that shit to happen. If Cindy Crosby starts diving he's going to get smacked like a bitch

Canada won 1-0....the US didn't play their game and this is what they get for it. You HAVE to bring the pain against the Canadians, if you don't they'll keep getting their shots off and they won't make mistakes.


It's a good thing my hockey gear hasn't arrived in time for me to get into pickup hockey games this weekend....I'm ready to crush somebody.

Also have to mention Kristers Gudlevskis topped Oshie for performance of the olympics IMHO with his play vs Canada. Could have easily been a white-wash game with the amounts of shots and pressure Canada put on him. To be so exhausted that he could barely get up after going down for a save, and still going and making huge saves... tremendous skill and heart.
