Will you be watching Olympic Hockey without the NHL's participation?

[PanniniClaus]

I will not go out of my way to watch it live...i'll watch what i can.

 

[93LEAFS]

Maybe if there is a miracle team trying to take down Russia like Germany. But, I don't particularly care.

 

[JackSlater]

Sure, the women have been playing well lately and I'd like to see Canada take the gold medal back from the Americans.

 

[The Macho King]

Lol hell no.

Edit: Should say I'll watch any Canada US women's games but men's? Hell no.

 

[geofff]

Voted no. I may end up watching the gold medal game or something, but I'll certainly be watching other sports and women's hockey more than the mens.

 

[Machinehead]

Yes but I'm a lot less excited about it

 

[BlueDream]

Hell no, they're a bunch of scrubs compared to the real top athletes of the world.

 

[Lauro]

Yes, but only the games with Germany.

 

[Buck Naked]

Of course. I'm a hockey fan first and hockey can still be amazing even though it's not best on best. One of the most entertaining tournaments in memory is the 1994 Olympics.

 

[McDavid is too whiny]

I will only be watching olympic hockey because of the NHLers not attending.

 

[McDavid is too whiny]

I'll watch if the time zones match up.

I saw the 2018 gold medal game in a crowded bar and it was the most interested I had been in Olympic hockey since 2002.

You should check out the spengler cup.

 

[lawrence]

I will only watch team Canada. Right now time zone wise the Olympics is not an issue for me. I will cheer on Canadians.

 

[Voight]

If NHL'ers were playing, I would go out of my way too. However, all due respect but I wouldn't do the same to see Ryan Spooner star for Team Canada.

 

[kp61c]

Tricky poll. I wouldn't be watching it with NHL participation either.

 

[WarriorofTime]

That timezone is killer, so even with NHL players it's unlikely I'd be watching outside of like a USA vs. Canada Gold Medal Game or something

 

[Regal]

Didn’t watch the last one, wouldn’t watch this one.

 

[NyQuil]

I’ll probably be bored enough.

 

[Beau Knows]

Probably just the women's tournament.

 

[93gilmour93]

I’m more interested to see how many of our athletes get stuck in China after testing positive and listening to all the news reports of how our athletes still aren’t allowed to come home

 

[drktmplr12]

i wasn't going to watch to begin with.

still won't be watching

 

[notDatsyuk]

And let Bettman win? Absolutely not!

I'd watch them regardless, as they will still be good hockey, but especially to thumb my nose as Buttman.

 

[The Red Line]

Haven't watched since Bob Costas gave us all pink eye.

 

[Xspyrit]

And let Bettman win? Absolutely not!

I'd watch them regardless, as they will still be good hockey, but especially to thumb my nose as Buttman.

What the hell is this?

 

[InfinityIggy]

No, but not because of the lack of NHL players.

 

[wetcoast]

Only games where (USA, Canada, Russia, Sweden, Finland) play each other, and the medal rounds. Maybe tune in to ones against China to see them get destroyed too.

Pretty much this, I will watch but won't go out of my way if there are episodes of Seinfeld that I have seen 30 times on at the same time.
