War!

So Russia and Georgia are on the verge of slugging it out.

Question: Which side does Ilya Kovalchuk fight for?

I think I hear a cymbal crash. 

Thanks folks. Try the veal, remember to drink responsibly. 

In other news: Totalitarian state holds Olympics, ice hockey not an event. Apparently that's reserved for the Winter Olympics only...ridiculous, I say. Every sane person knows that hockey is a winter AND summer sport. 

At the very least they could let the likes of Russia, Canada, the USA, Slovakia, Sweden, Finland, and the Czech Republic fight it out in field hockey. I wonder how Joe Thornton and Vincent Lecavalier and Alex Ovechkin would do on the green?
