'22 Olympics (Farrell, Dichow)

[Kudo Shinichi]

We shouldn't participate as a nation.......never mind private enterprise, every nation should entirely boycott these Olympic games. The IOC should not award the games to countries like China in the first place. To be clear this is not in any way a reflection on the people of China just the murderous human trash that rule them.

That would be ideal, but it won't happen. There will be hockey players there no matter what. Might as well cheer for some of our prospects to participate. It will help with their development.

Farrell there, no Harris

 

[WeThreeKings]

Really weird no Harris but incredibly happy for Farrell.

I'll actually watch now.

Now I'm looking at Sweden and see if Norlinder would be named on their national team.

You sound like an "All lives matter" advocate with such an overtly ignorant reply. You are aware that the Chinese government is currently committing genocide against Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang.

You don't support evil regimes......end of discussuion.

So are you adding the US to your list?

C’mon man, not the same thing at all.

C’mon man, not the same thing at all.

Perhaps a greater understanding of the US industrial prison system would change your mind.

But, I digress... this thread is not a political one so I should've ignored the ignorance of the initial post I quoted... my bad.

Farrell & Guhle playing at Olympics would be awesome for both, let's hope they get a chance!

 

[sandviper]

Yes, hockey

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Impressed Farrell made it.

I see in his upper body he gain muscle. He's 5'9 but seems solid physically. Getting ready to be a pro.

Kaiden Guhle isn't an active NHL player despite being signed to an ELC . If selected by team Canada for the Olympics 2022 all he would likely need is permission from the Montreal Canadiens allowing him to participate in the Olympics.

 

[Natey]

Wonder if Evander Kane goes, then they can put the class act line of Kane - Leipsic - Virtanen together.

Zero chance.

 

[GammaAway]

Seems to be confirmed that Farrell will be on the US roster at the Olympics. Talk about a great form reward.

Don't forget Canada.

I think that every country should just had sent their best U-20 players who did not had the chance to play in December.

 

[Habs10025]

Guhle , Ferrell playing in the Olympics is a good thing .
Athletes going to the Olympics isn't going to change anything about China and athletes choosing not to go to the Olympics isn't going to change anything about China either .

Beijing reported its first omicron case yesterday. It will likely be out of control when the Olympics begin. Some of our young athletes might be stuck there for 6-7 weeks if they test positive if they're going through with the 5 week quarantine.

Politics aside, this is the biggest concern.

 

[Wats]

Is Guhle actually on the team?

They've been pretty "good" at containing the COVID infections, methods aside of course.

Mainly due to preventing any non-Chinese citizen from entering the country without an excemption.

The problem with the Olympics is that, you're inviting only non-Chinese citizens in, which will for sure make the situation worse.

Olympics should have been postponed.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Is Guhle actually on the team?

No. Canada hasn't revealed their roster yet.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I imagine we'll have Dichow for Denmark, as well.
