6 times in 25 years. that's how often. for all that investement, the return has been nada
and right now I suspect that a very very small minority of non hockey fans could pick TJ oshie out of a lineup or even guess what team he plays for in the NHL. The fact that the NHL is contractually prevented from showing TJ oshie scoring those goals as a tie in to help promote the game might have something to do with it.
in the plan is to get the country all lathered up about hockey players 14 days every 4 years and not a day in between, that's a pretty crappy way to run a league.
I bet right now more people remember that bob costas got pink eye than TJ oshies shootout.
I don't. I totally forgot Costas was there
I remember the Oshie goals. And Crosby in 2010, and Haseks mastery in 1998 (Gretz on the bench) the epic 2002 games. Lots of great olympic memories that result in lifelong hockey fans being minted around the globe.
