      Guess that's what DVR is for, but I probably won't manage to avoid spoiling the endings of either one before I watch them.

        The US game in the afternoon isn't a big deal to me, I don't expect the US games to be in primetime every game, since this is the Olympics and its not being played here. If I can get through the day without spoiling the game, and watching it on DVR, that would be great, if not, I'll live. The Russia-Canada game going on at Midnight, is asinine. That is THE GAME that they have been waiting for, no, its not for a gold, like expected, but still, it is Crosby vs. Ovie. I can't imagine that scheduling decision is very popular in eastern Canada either.

          The whole Canada vs. Russia thing may force the owners into allowing NHLers at Sochi.

          If Canada loses, they will want to redeem themselves in 2014 and does Gary Bettman want a war with Hockey Canada?

          If Russia wins or loses, they will want to win in front of their home fans because Ovie and the rest want to play in front of their fans.

          I wonder if the owners really want to have this game of chicken because I can almost guarantee you that a lot of Russians will go to the KHL so they can play in Sochi.

              They are already standing up saying they will. I really think this was just put out there to start negotiations on the upcoming CBA. The players are going to have to give something up.

                Another factor to keep in mind - the ongoing lack of a transfer agreement with the KHL. Nobody has come out and said it, but given the "comfy" relationship betwen the KHL and the Russian government, I wouldn't be surprised if the NHL is also using this tactic to get the KHL back to the bargaining table as well.

                  The NHL is always the one walking away from that table. If the KHL continues with its success, we'll have another type of Cold War on our hands.

                    Come on now. The NHL is always the altruistic one. Certainly the players and the KHL have to be at fault.

                      Not to mention the fact that if the NHL refuses to participate in the Olympics, the Russian stars walk back to the KHL for a season, and the KHL wins. Why on earth would they want the NHL to participate? Doesn't seem like much of a bargaining chip on the NHL side of things.

                        Mike Comrie proposed to Hillary Duff and we all got to see that Hillary Duff is, indeed, a keeper.

                            What success is that?

                            There's four Russians that could leave for the KHL that anyone that watches the NHL would care about, and only one Russian anyone outside of hardcore hockey fans would care about. And that's assuming all of them would want to go back to Russia.

                            Why should the NHL make negotiations with a league full of washed up NHL rejects that has nothing to offer them? If all the Russians want to leave, then it's Do svidanya, Comrades. Enjoy playing for the mob.

                              Your getting my points crossed up here. It's not so much those four players, it's the whole part of the NHL having no transfer agreement with Russia. There's a semi-tenuous kind of thing working out now that still gets NHL owners worried. Look at what's gone on with Nikita Filatov and Tikhonov with the Coyotes. They're playing in Russia because they're getting better play there/happier there but have contracts with NHL teams.

                              The arrogance the NHL carries about their side of business is obnoxious and while it would hurt the pro game here if the KHL kept getting stronger and making headway across Europe, I won't lie, I'm rooting for it to happen so the NHL will get their own act cleaned up.
