Too bad the Blue Jackets aren't in the Olympics. Stalberg would win all medals (and hearts).

This Olympic hockey looks like....fucking beer league. Wow. Really puts into perspective the drop off that occurs below professional hockey in the AHL and NHL...
Slow skaters, poor skaters, awful hands... I might know a couple guys that could compete out there.

Makes sense. The best US players play in the NHL. The best Slovenia players play in Slovenia for the most part. What that means is that the US team is ECHL level while the Slovenia team is halfway decent.

And they also didn't do any pre tournament games from what I heard? So was this the first game they have played together? The USA vs. Canada women's game was such a better quality of hockey. Those girls can play. Good hands, crisp passing, physical play, some surprising speed.... That was actually really entertaining hockey.

They have 7 indoor rinks and 136 registered male players in the country + 822 junior hockey players.
