Without NHL players, it was going to be a more competitive tournament as all the usual powers were going to be a bit weaker. Good job for Germany, but wow, some of those too many men penalties they took were bad.

Simple, the Pros were not allowed, this was not Sidney Crosby and company playing for the gold but a bunch of wannabe's. the USA Women even beat Canada for the Gold. (kinda glad for that as I am from the USA. but I am also a Pens fan and I always rooted for Canada to beat the US when Syd played.

@BlueMetalChick Yep. Pretty Much. And not many of them ever made a name for themselves either. But good analysis. 1980 still seems surreal.

@Elandra77 I think it's funny that each nation had their own dream team, America had the one team one year that beat the Russians at hockey and it was their biggest miracle, and Russia had the one team one year that beat the Americans at basketball and it was their biggest miracle.

@BlueMetalChick *smiles* i forgot about Basketball but you right about the US getting beat. It's nice NOT to have a disruption in the NHL because of this, but the US/CAN men's match-up , rematch, was not to be. And that may ring hollow. But no more so than what it once was.

We even lost curling. I had no idea any other country even knew what curling was!

@RedFlower Tony the Tiger says "Earn your stripes" but in my country, his name is Gopnik the Tiger and he says "Earn your Adidas stripes."

OUCH that is bad 😕

@english Eh, it was to be expected, there were no pros allowed this year. I doubt the Canadians care though, they have so many gold medals in hockey already.
