I have a stupid question maybe someone here can answer.

From my understanding teams like Switzerland, Norway and Belarus qualify for the Olympics through tournaments. If that's the case, how do teams like Canada, Russia, and the USA qualify if all their players are in the NHL and the team is not competing in tournaments? Are they just automatically in or something?

Why is it "bailing on your country" if you want another team to win? All my favorite hockey players are on Team Sweden. I want them to win. That doesn't mean I hate America or something.

Exactly! It's not like we're comparing Political Systems or Constitutions, it's just Hockey.

I'll never turn my back on Team Canada because I like Dats. I hope Pronger clobbers him. As long as he is OK to go after the Olympics I'm fine with seeing a little blood too.

Based on IIHF ranking or something?

Edit: Wikipedia linky.

Ok, I would guess the countries that need to win their spot has no NHL players on their teams or something like that.

well latvia has skrastins, bartulis, and ivanans in the nhl. the cool thing about their team this year is 12 of the players came from the same dynamo riga team.
