Would you like a good one?
We all know that the Olympic Games are fast approaching. And as of today… the construction of the amphitheater in which the ice hockey competition will be held is not yet complete.
And what's worse? The locker rooms that will be used for the tournament look like… this:

When I saw the photo, I thought: oh boy.
And we agree that my reaction is normal. The Olympics start in less than a month and clearly, we don't seem to be 100% ready just yet.
I wonder what the players think about all this?
We've also seen images of the ice and to be 100% frank, even if it looks a bit better… it's far from perfect either.
Because there's still work to be done before the arena is completely ready for the tournament that's about to get underway in the next few weeks. And it looks like things are really, really starting to get worrisome:

How do you all think it looks?

Clearly… time is running out.
But there's one thing I'm hoping for: I'm hoping we don't rush through the amphitheater construction and cause complications during the competition. The players deserve great facilities, and it has to be safe for the guys too.
To be continued. But for now… it's not looking good.
Overtime
– It's special.
