    Just another reason why the NHL doesn't belong in this tournament

    do injuries not happen in the NHL? He or anyone can break a bone at any given time during a hockey game. This could have just as well happened in an NHL game.

    If you don't want the NHL to participate in the Olympics that's fine, but it shouldn't be because of injuries.

    Yeah it sucks that happened but the players should be allowed to represent their countries. If they want to go they should be able to go. I bet Zucc would still go 100 times out of 100. We wouldnt be bitching if it was Crosby who broke his hand.

    Per Steve Zipay, initial expectation is a 3 week injury. Likely out 5-6 games.

    That might end the RC trade speculation, though maybe they make a smaller deal.

    What are you talking about? That's the main reason! They are paid HUGE amounts of money to play in the NHL, not the Olympics. What happens if Nash breaks a bone, and is lost for the season? The Olympic's are a great tournament, but they need to leave it for the College players.

    You're acting like Nash couldn't have gotten hurt in the NHL. Injuries can happen at any time, not just in the Olympics.

    On the bigger ice it's more surprising a player like Zuccarello got hurt since he's shifty.

    they are also insured so when injuried the team can recoup. the bottom line is they are representing their country and should have the right

    I understand that a player can injured anywhere, but If a player is going to get injured, I would rather he miss time because of injury with the team he is under contract with.

    Owners and GM's will be deciding whether they have that right in another 4 years.

    I understand why owners would not want their investments getting injured while playing elsewhere. But as nothing more than a fan, if you really think a guy shouldnt be allowed to represent his country just so your favorite team wont be hurt by an injury, you need to get over yourself.
