    even before the team was picked it was obvious the weakness, if there was going to be one, was going to be in the blue line

    I'm hoping they drop hockey from the Olympics, all it does is screw up college hockey

      I sympathize with what you're saying, but...

      A couple hundred people will see BC play Harvard. A couple thousand will see Wisconsin vs Minnesota.

      A couple million will see US vs Canada.

      Advertising. Recruitment of future players and fans. Etc.

        That is an interesting idea from a college hockey centric point of view. I agree it does screw it up. The question is if it was dropped from the Olympics would those high end athletes have anything to strive for other than 4 years of free college? Would they get into another Olympic sport early on and not play hockey at all?

            Millions of people watch synchronized swimming and water polo, what is your point?
            Somebody is going to get cut, big deal I suppose, there are a lot more serious things in the world than which hockey princess gets an Olympic medal and which one has to watch her get presented with it.
            And failure builds character, right?
            If it builds character why do the US and Canada put so much into winning gold? The Canadians I can understand, if it weren’t for hockey nobody would know they existed. But why the US, it’s not like the country as whole gives a **** about hockey, especially women’s hockey.
            In the end the best players on the best teams get to take a year off for advanced training then return the following year to compete against younger less experienced players. It puts the whole college game out of whack.

                            it takes at least three Hockey Easy players to be equivalent to two WCHA players

                            am I the only one to see the irony in that the two butt wipes are the only ones that can't take their own advice?

                              In spite of new math by PC with a western tilt, bc is down more than 3 Olympians because Keller is like 3 all by herself.
