Not likely. It was professional (NHL) hockey and its fans that turned me off to watching years ago... too vicious on the ice and in the stands. One of the more terrifying experiences I've had was being at an NHL game. With the more strict international rules applied in the Games, I'm enjoying it. It's like boxing... I much prefer amateur/Olympic bouts where it's about scoring points, not sending the opponent into oblivion.

Don't bet on it.
After the U.S. beat the USSR in 1980 and won the gold, I didn't watch any more hockey than I did before, which was zero...

Can't count out the Russians just yet. They have the firepower to get back into this. |
I don't know... I'm now beginning to think I should start cheering on the Russians just to have a game.
Of course, just as I was writing this the Russians scored. LOL

Really??? Well if you are going to start watching again, tonight is the night! The women's free skate (long program) finals in figure skating should be exciting to see. There are so many talented and beautiful women's figure skaters. Plus many of the top skating athletes, in this event, are Asian beauties.
