What if Malkin and Crosby meet in the gold medal game?

I'm actually a little worried about this. What if they are matched up head-to-head? Do you envision any bad blood carrying over after the Olympics are over? Its too bad we don't have Mike Richards on our team. His leadership could really help us in a situation like this.

No bad blood carries over and I bet they would not play against each other much. I could see Datsyuk's matching up on Crosby and then Malkin would be more likely to get Jordan Staal or whoever Canada's checking center. Either way, it would be over after the Olympics. If not, the Pens could just get Ilya Kovalchuk to negotiate a peace like he did with Malkin and Ovechkin.

I've been thinking about this pretty often.

At least one of them will probably win Gold?

Go Canada

Also, it'd be fun to even face Sweden... it'd be like Detroit

No worries, Team USA will keep this match-up from happening.

The gold medal will come down to a shootout with Crosby and Malkin taking the last two shots. The result will tear the Penguins apart until the last day of the season when Max Talbot brings everyone back together and closer than ever by a planned but still crazy stunt where Sid and Geno must work together to save his life.

Who care about Russia or Canada, I'd rather see the USA in there and Brooks lining one of them up

Then Crosby will destroy Malkin because Canada will win Gold. Malkin, Ovechkin and player x line will see a d pairing of Phaneuf and Weber and the same result from the 2005 world juniors will repeat.

If the break-up of the Mega Powers has taught us anything - and I think it has - it's that any duo can be broken up by a perceived slight and a sexy lady, and usually ends with a match against the Big Boss Man and Akeem, the African Dream.

This is one of the best things I've read on this board

Anyways, whoever wins the Olympic Gold will be the one who stays in pittsburgh, the other one will go to philadelphia.

The competition will raise both their games to the highest level and they'll be in top shape for another Cup win together.

One will probably demand a trade when they come back.

Oh my God, you did not just reference an old school 80s WWF scenario...

I'm thinking that somewhere along the way the Berzerker is going to show up and throw Sid out of the rink and then take a swipe at Geno with his Viking sword.

I predict a Getzlaf - Thornton esque fight right at the opening faceoff. Rick Jeanneret, despite not even being the scheduled announcer, will come out of nowhere to commentate the fight.

Maybe the WWE should just field a team of has beens to compete.

The Ugandan Giant, Kamala
The Giant Gonzalez
Repo Man
Brooklyn Brawler (may have been wcw only)
Four of the Five Dead Von Erich Brothers

Hopefully, Crosby shakes Gene's hand after it's all over. If not, there could be some lingering bad blood.

Brooklyn Brawler was definitely in the WWE too, if not only there. It was Steve Lombardi. The Repo Man was also Axe from Demolition (or was it Smash?). Did Giant Gonzalez compete in the WWE or WCW, I get that one confused a lot.

I think you have to look at the bigger picture, here. If Geno and Sid meet for the gold medal, it'll be awesome hockey. And that's all I care about, in the end.

Oh no, what if Sweden plays Russia and Zetterberg is matched up against Datsyuk?
