I think it has just as much place as anything else. I enjoy watching females compete at a high level, especially Hockey and Skiing. I guess at most anything for that matter. I am sure others may not agree but that is my opinion. Dave

Some women's hockey makes me want to stab my eyes out watching it, but women's Olympic hockey is great. One of the best ways to watch hockey and understand how the game is supposed to be played position and system wise. They aren't as fast and flashy as NHL players, but they are very disciplined in terms of position.

The Canada vs Finland is amazing!
Took 2 periods of the 1st goal.

Spooner from Canada is a friend of mine
Coyne from USA I have hung out with a bit since we share a good friend
they are much much much better than people give them credit for, trust me.
it's nice that the Finns have a goalie to keep games competitive so it isn't simply a bronze battle with zero chance for an upset (instead it's like 6% haha)

I think it's safe to say that the officials working the Russia v Japan game won't be doing any of the medal games.......

a goal that should've counted and the officials didn't notice when the off-ice officials tried to get their attention because the folks upstairs wanted to review it? yeah, that's pretty bad, especially in a game that was decided by 1 goal. if it had happened in the men's tourney heads would roll.

I've watched game over the years, olympics, those "friendlys" cananda and usa have and honestly its not as entertaining as mens hockey. Im not sure if womens hockey should be included in the olympics because of the inevitability canada and usa will play for gold. BUT on the other hand if you take it out, maybe the interest in womens hockey decreases and the sport loses all the steps its taken in the last 6 years?

I enjoy watching womens hockey. But obviously with slower game play and weaker shots I watch more for systems play and structure. They've got the fundamentals down. Also helps that you'll see a couple nice toe drags throughout the games.

Hehe !!, I wonder what they'd say when they saw you play, same thing maybe ?? 
I would bet that some of these women can skate circles around a good majority on here, so saying that, I will say I love watching the women play. It might be only about 2 or 3 teams when talking power houses but the other countries can only get better and better, Japan proved that against Sweden the other day.

i was wondering that too, what's with all the cages, they're grown ups, they should be allowed to wear visors.

What's more attractive than a woman with a busted grill and a face covered in scars... I mean c'mon that shits hot, right? Right?!?
My guess would be that it's unladylike to be overally physically aggressive, and women's hockey is sticking with that traditional world view. With women's UFC taking off the way it has in the past couple years, maybe they will change the rules in the future. I don't know, I'm just speculating.

Well with how the pool play and format is set up this year, USA vs Canada won't be the gold medal game.
Edit: This is wrong now, The format does allow it. I had just heard more that this was true. The way the format goes now is they won't see each other in the semis if they place 1 and 2 in pool play.

Are you sure? I know they're both guaranteed to advance to the semi finals, but does that mean the semi final to play against one another?
