I disagree. They should use the best players possible.

I agree too. It's fun to see other teams going farther this year than usual BUT the Olympics are the Olympics...so it's supposed to be the best athletes of each country and it wasn't the case this year.

Football (Soccer) doesn't have the best players either. I think it's U23 + 3 older players. Which is a reason I never watch it.

Yeah but for football you have the world cup.
In hockey, we have nothing. Don't even try with the world cup with "team europe" and "young stars"

That's been one time so far though. In the past the Germanys and Slovakias and whatnot were in the World Cup. I wouldn' be surprised to see them back in the next version.

You know what? Maybe the spectacle will continue in 3 months. There are still the World Championships. When it gets so exciting again, that's not good for the heart. ;) :-D
