Ice Hockey. Lots of NHL players playing for their countries. Surprised to see Jaromir Jagr playing for the Czechs at 42 years old.
The guys a legend - still playing well for the Devils too in the reg season.
Jagr is one of 2 reasons I got into Ice Hockey 20 years ago in the early 90s.
I started to support the Penguins because of him - and any fan will therefore know who the 2nd player was!!! (Mario
)
To still be playing at this level even now is a hell of an achievement.
Anyhow...got Wed booked off work to watch the Men's Quaters although I expect the 4 top seeded teams to go throughto Semi's with Russia the only one really likely to provide an upset due to home nation and some quality individual players.
Can v USA Womens final on Thursday evening should be worth a watch too. Womens Hockey is boring because those 2 teams are so far ahead but they themselves usually produce an exciting game.
The group stages are kind of pointless as the quality divide between teams is huge at the Olympics but the Semi's and Finals should be cracking games.
...Finland to provide an upset and win Gold!
I called Seahawks for Superbowl after 1st game of the season and Blues for the Stanley Cup (neither of which has won the trophies in their history) so my predictions are going well so far
