One of the marquee events during the Winter Olympics has always been Men’s Hockey tournament. Over the past few Winter Olympics, the biggest stars in the National Hockey League (NHL) were allowed to play for their countries. However, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has forbidden for NHL players to go to Pyeongchang this time around because he no longer wanted the NHL to be shut down for two weeks during the middle of the season. Nevertheless, this decision will make the hockey tournament even better because the lack of star power will add to the unpredictability of this tournament. The poll question below will also be rather unpredictable as well.

The USA will have a shot, but Russia has the best two players in the tournament. Plus, Ovechkin is not playing for Russia because he only plays good in the regular season.
Of course I hope USA wins!
