Rolling right along, let’s tackle a topic of international proportions.
Should NHL players be in the Olympics?
J.P.: I like the allure of a best-on-best tournament of nations in theory, but is it worth jacking up the regular season for and putting NHL teams’ seasons on the line? Not to me (but, admittedly, I don’t have a huge interest in growing the game abroad and such). And if you don’t have the best players in the world in the tournament, you shouldn’t have any professionals because then it’s, what, the Spengler Cup, basically?
