Wonder if anyone actually decides to bail on it.

And if they do decide not to go, how would that be received by fans and media? I wouldn't hold it against any athlete who decides that it's just not worth it. That said, I doubt very few guys pull out.

That's it. I want Tavares, Vanek & Grabner kicked off their respective teams. Giving Russia the Olympics is looking like a catastrophic mistake.:

The hard part is, how do you keep the troublemakers away while letting the General Public in?

You could make eating bacon and a shot of vodka mandatory for entrance.

I doubt anyone associated with the games has much to fear.

I imagine when the time comes The Olympic Village and Park will be some of the most secure areas in the world. I do think we'll see a terrorist attack though. I just think it will take place away from Sochi.

It might not be an attack. Arent kidnappings a possibility? Imagine if there were suddenly a bunch of Missing Persons.

The Police will likely have a Sting operation in place...

The KHL is ready for a new wave of hockey players to enter their league led by Sergei Stamkosovich & Evgeni Tavarosov.

My bad, I missed your subtle reference to Sumner and his crew. I'll just run and Chrissie Hynde now.

Well, he doesn't want to get to the event and WHAM! he's blown to Smithereens.

I don't believe that report for a minute. A Big Country like China isn't going to risk their medal count.

they already are searching for these Black Widows in Sochi ... they are already there ... lets not rehash the Art of War argument ... this is terrorism ... no rules ... no rulebook

however, im not ruling out something happening away from Sochi ... afterall ... Russia is a Big Country
