while I love the NHL and the Olympics, I have never been a fan of professional/hi paid NHL players taking hockey spots from young amateur talent who are just as deserving if not more of a chance to highlight their talents and be seen on the big stage the Olympics offers.

and if a number one NHL player (or any other player for that matter) gets hurt so bad at the Olympics and has to miss the rest of his season on a potential Stanley Cup winning team I don't think the fans in that city will be none too pleased..
