The ROC v USA will be unmissable - just like the old US v USSR matches - total carnage

[Xhaka Can’t]

No it won’t.

US and Canadians are made up of a bunch of nobodies.

nobodies can still cause carnage though can't they?

The standard will be poor. Really, really poor.

As for “carnage”. Prepare for disappointment of monumental proportions. International hockey, Olympic hockey in particular is devoid of carnage.

Even the NHL is pretty much devoid of the stereotypical outsider view of hockey.

I went to see the Rangers play at MSG - was super disappointed as there were no dust ups. They were playing the New Jersey team too so it was kinda like a NLD, or I thought it would be.
There were literally people with opposing jerseys sitting next to each other. All a little disappointing tbh, it seems like more of a social thing over there than the tribal football we have here.

If you want to avoid Winter Olympic spoilers, I'd suggest staying away from the Winter Olympics thread.
