hargus ultimate international prize is just weeks away but with the game's best players locked out by the n.h.l. and the russian team's participation in jeopardy will the olympic playoffs be relinked stanley cup finals new unknown masters rise in the absence of the usual suspects of hockey or move the lack of star power reduce the competition to a second great show. kara corey it's really great to have you on our program thanks for being with us welcome to moscow we want to be here so let's start with the olympics and what's happening there so this year n.h.l. will players will not participate in the olympic games to use things their absence will actually make their race for the olympic gold like maybe sort of a second rate contest. the same tournament. that. it's not. the best players won't be there i think

hockey will be her. best player. who grew up. in the countries where they're on you celebrate the olympics with the whole family because it's all about the hockey. and all. the big family. because. it's a story. i don't know. the stories but. i don't want to still see. them and you know i think that. there should be brought a. chance to enjoy the other players have success another interesting moment but just a fact of these star players absent because n.h.l. is where the hockey stars are let's face it. do you feel like it makes the olympic

hockey of a seer less attractive. honestly it's. this because of course they're very recognized that the display is not there should be there at the play should be playing the country it's all. about i still. side i think that the u.s. will be there i think there will be so support them and they should be very excited and be brought out to be that part of the team i know that some of the n.h.l. players like ovechkin cross-tree they are being very outspoken about their disappointment. not going to the olympics do you think pressure from the players could change anything here. i think in the should be to play it's up to the owners. and it still they should listen to the players and their tours of course we don't know what's happening behind the scenes what the the main

reasons why then it still players on the day are the biggest holders will let the players school for two weeks what three weeks. old to the money was interest what was the number one reason so we really don't know that since you know i think that that that should be come out and explain to people who saw the reasons why and it's a place out there should be there loud to go if they want to on their own for instance like russia they can go on their own no that they may be suspended should an n.h.l. players be allowed to go on their own with their own money if they want to play. since no chaps the league has the rules of the game so. this gets old stereo and. that would be too messy. too bad so he said let's see the athletes i'm going to play lympics now we should give them a chance and tell us this incredible story in the eighty's. i remember

a where and nonprofessional american team actually won the gold medal teasing something like this could happen this time around the miracle on the ice yes i listen to nineteen i was there and i was to be out of the. nineteen years old. plane of florida law and. just be a part of the big family was a thrill for me and. good that happened. next year in korea. are to say this old europe russia have strong teams you know i think the feel like i'm really good je suis and check some of the most old canada has a lot of players play in the europe usa has a europe full it's a little bit different so you would take a miracle for it it really already there are a lot of what are you saying thirty years on or thirty something years on hockey has gotten much stronger than back then in the eighty's. it has. a lot of

contrasts catching up you know maybe the baby of the soviet union was so much better can it. now that the swedes win the world champion steve to feel less winning you know soup so the cap is not that big anymore so. i think we can call six five six countries to go with the seems to be talking so tell me tell me because i'm a deal a townhouse in the olympic contest different from the n.h.l. stanley cup playoffs i mean you played in both obviously you want someone else is there more pressure when you're doing the stanley cup game seven or when you're actually doing the olympic gold. oh the pressure is there i mean when you start make up this tree come through the hole that's. you start your job ten months ago unable to finish just see them just on the cup this note by that would be finished. season old because special only forty years they play

a short tournament. chasse you have your lifetime beautiful part of the olympics maybe once or. twice whatever some six times. it's a really different story like i said the olympics of different bits of the contrary a bug that the ball family leased out the but it's. also you that you'll be in a game but emotionally for player. no matter if you win something big you know it's there just suddenly go with the war just because if so. please tell me what's going on through and hockey players had when you're actually on the ice rink competing for olympic gold i mean the whole world is watching inside you're responsible for your country what is it like to talk to put into words but. i think you more worry about the game more about. make sure you are ready to play

make sure you. get teams ready. and also you didn't choice the movement to the olympic movement and stuff like that what's what's involved there you play for your country you play fuel up because you know it's the to the show but. it's about the game you're about the game and you tried to watch what's going on outside because off the coast as you know your family is watching you maybe you have some friends there but you still you focus on the family our country a whole world as well i wouldn't want to look at that level. you know it's more of a joy you see of just a lifetime when something big. but the olympic team doesn't get too glued together like the n.h.l. i mean in my opinion how do you compensate for that. it's a challenging you know for the team. who will. data ridge don't have too much time

to be together before the walk trot signals so i think that both you said. it's very well done with the team you'll build. to try to make the right players for t.v. . let's get good chemistry in the short time well it's really important since they came for the olympic hockey team is coach and the synergy between the players i mean because you don't get to spend time together you know each other's habits you don't understand but today's hockey players know each other i think that they have played together in the past maybe the seeds of maybe the club teams you know but. i still listen to people the team is very important because if you don't have the time to really practice to get out of my style i think you go should make good choices you know find the right play it's the right place just. looking back what is. more important for hockey players legacy winning and

b.p.'s record breaking stance or actually winning an olympic gold stanley cup ring . we're talking about the team sports i think that's the winning like i mentioned we used to season in the olympic gold medal to kid s. team for your country i think it's. just. a few women m.v.p. or even to score in title but you would need to be called i think that's more important so do you feel like olympic hockey is less scandalous and the n.h.l. i mean less physical fighting. less scandals. sure the hockey changes i think that it sells hockey because our server it's much more valuable. to games since a lot of. time also. gave no it's not the best player.

of course to. play with a good player so. i think you will see more skills. so it's a different game to. make some difference. but even this where a question like olympic hockey is less scandalous because any child for me is like . you know like people five. it's part of the game it's called a long long time. and it's. a list today. i don't know. if you want to see. which team do you think will impress us. that's amazing and.

the. countries. will be the favorite in the tournament. just. as it grows everybody take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to you eric corry a hockey legend we'll talk more about the upcoming olympics stay with us. join me every thursday on the elec simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the

world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. piers will people been saying about rejected in the navy seals is actually just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of harvey americans do the same we are apparently better than the blues nothing better to see the people you've never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank so take your money doesn't write me. send us an email. one else seemed wrong. but old boy just don't call. me lol yet to shape out he still comes out ahead and indeed should be close to trail.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i've played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside dives. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager killian erroneous and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance with. the base this minute.

and we're back with gary koori and absolute hockey legend mr curry but we have a situation. because a lot of individuals won't be able to actually join their national teams for a stand a child players they russian players. hockey is a team sport is and i mean i wonder if it's collective efforts that is more important than skills of certain individual star hockey players what is more important. you know because i mean for instance you scored so many goals in your career but your teammate was awful wayne gretzky you know you were

a team with things. like steam for. the. players who can score. past the. need to play is a good defense will you do you call to. just push it since you need the players you can't have the two but. there are everybody's course all there at play defense you know to do two different. people within the team and. if i go to my time. in the market. and there's some great hockey hall of fame there but we were really . good players for a great job for our so the team effort is more important maybe more of a star separately from the team i think it's a few members of course one player going to games. and win the championship it's

good for. everybody. you mentioned russian team and. olympic team is in a limbo because russians can't participate in the winter olympics under their own flag they will have to compete as squared of. athletes plus we have the absence of n.h.l. how do you think that will affect the whole tournaments that's that's something new for the olympics absence of the n.h.l. now the russian team competing on the national flag. i think that. there has been so much talk already but the by the time the. tribes afrique we all forget that i will fully we can focus in the tournament on the games and i know that you know it's been a tough year for hockey. and it still is not. coming and that the russians.

a tough time for the tourist course you know on. their hockey but i think that both with time will heal on the we have. no less than sixty days to go for this going to be where you know we could really focus in the game and say so you're saying the ant absence of n.h.l. in this strange situation with russian hockey players competing under national flag is not going to affect the whole thing i can ask them in your opinion then we. go through time will heal doesn't mean days to go by the time that the box drops over the field and you have a chance to be a part of the mix. and the south koreans have actually asked the i will see to it russian hockey team common play because they're worried about the economics of things when russian team comes a lot of t. shirts are sold a lot of tickets to the games are sold do you think maybe economic pressure could change something here. i think of the hockey world. with the

russian players their bras and speak one of the hot. we're a family and. it's sort of the. russian. you know. so. people out of the hog you know. the really worry that. the situation that the russians will be obese even off the. road just it has been made but of course you know. sports. so. just as a human being and as a hockey player i'm going to ask you questions and i just want your personal opinion on this then know that hockey players the russian hockey players have all passed the doping test and the witness there says that the hockey players weren't part of the doping scandal anyway why force them to wear neutral colors i mean can they just if they're not part of the doping scandal can they just where their national. sports wear and compete on their own flag. well i hope the

good but. i think this is a story. that's happening in the i.o.c. . has done a lot of work and study truly does she do a show. how much joy for the right person told well i know enough to say. you know i guess it's been a tough time for them the russian sports five million of the hockey too but. i think it was strong but just it's not one thing that we do go away. because emotionally russians are very split about this most of the athletes say they going to go to the olympics and they will compete regardless of anything under natural flag problem russians are saying that doesn't make any sense because if you go to the olympics you should really just be able to raise your flag and hear your anthem play other half of the russians are saying you know what go we should go and

compete everyone knows from which country you're from and you. when is our win anyways what's your take on that's what do you say in effect they should go and compete and be proud that you're russian the whatever you know and enjoy the moment on the i think that's sort of for that you know. what has happened with this situation and so i think that. hopefully. someone asset is competing under a natural flag do you feel like it's demoralizing for him or on the contrary it can fire you up so much that you're going to stick it to the world and we think that you use that that it's also the actually that's trade seoul for many many years many many months very self for herself the because you know so i think that. they will. come up with a lot of it's trying to achieve true hopefully for you for gary corrie who's going

to watching t.v. watching olympic competition on the ice and will it matter for you that these people aren't competing under a russian flag will will you look at them differently. i look at hockey i watch it. but didn't know the game i didn't know the players who skated out there so i would be a little bit different story but look up to the game and the results of the play itself. sets a story that's not to go and say i'm a player yeah but that's a true story do you think generally speaking collective punishment should exist in sports. collective punishment do you think that should exist in sports in generals . like this that. it's just sad story of what happened in sports. now you'll see you susan.

which will be used in all. just the start not asking to analyze what's happening as a sportsman a someone who played with a team and that can happen in any team in any country not only in the olympics to contest the sportsman for adopting and it turns out he takes the substance and then the rest of the team doesn't and should the whole team be punished for he's a. collective punishment exists or it's small. business it's the it's beautiful thing you know it's kind of fair it's unfair for other people. nothing but cheating or whatever so. soon they will always say that sports and politics don't mix they really do at the end for instance here and worship with things that the man is politically motivated and there are a lot of other athletes around the world who cheat but they don't get as hard of

a punishment as russian athletes this time around so do you think there's a political tend to this whole story. i really don't. need to ask the worst side of it enough knowledge to know what's going on you know of course the. media. you have to do everything you know it's a. real sop to. rebuild in the past it was to put do you feel like sports can exist without politics because just recently had a wada correct ready set that that says quote sports being played without politics interfering and impossible dream is the real sports can be for i don't know if i didn't see that that been you know what i'm doing right now you know of course the . pros. use a lot of. force there was a big fast you know and. i don't know. again that's more that.

now this. was the first time a national team is being suspended from the olympic game over doping accusation do you feel this could change the future course of how sports are perceived in the world do you think you could make sports clean or do you think the next olympics will be stricter for everyone or is just a matter of time until more profound and less detectable substance. mission. sports is. we spend so much money you. spend so much money. that we put the money. will. we be thinking. every way. with the best of the best. thank you very much from this

century. hey everybody i'm stephen bob gosh i want to ask hollywood guy usual suspects every proud american first of all i'm just stored washing and r.v. and do such thing this is my buddy max famous financial guru and well just a little bit different i've got a. good one a there are no windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have fun meet everyday americans blah blah blah blah and hopefully start to bridge the gap it is the great american people.

keep on. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last turn. caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry suddenly i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each fret. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question

our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different to speak to now because there are no other takers. to blame that mainstream media has met its maker. i don't understand them i did not cut it in oh no i mean. by that im going to put it. in the soonest old but i can know me a little more to be still flat. saying to you. that. rather than beginning to have it doesn't assume i'm not throwing one hundred to the left about another to hold the idea that something as innocent.

and the smallest will go down. as the come on i'm. not coming in with contempt in the truth. i'm somehow listening now some have moments of some solace and they got. counted on not allowed to learn how to live the from the one that hit. what was russia gate is now quickly becoming f.b.i. gate who will investigate the investigators also does the us have a real north korea policy and the end of net neutrality and the start of the internet apartheid. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being

a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison now we just do or don't like is there nobody oh visitation i don't know what comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore is cost effective that's what they want to do that as long as they don't give a damn if you do the chores are not directly paying enough to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate. twice as high as the u.s.n. breach what she is behind such success. ah. ah. ah. oh.

oh. breaking news this hour multiple fatalities have been reported as an amtrak train derailed from a bridge in the state of washington will be going live shortly to us correspond. un security council overwhelmingly backs a resolution to quotes null and void still more troops decision to make jerusalem the capital of israel but the resolutions being vetoed by the united states. and protesters have taken to the streets of the austrian capital vienna after a far right party took key positions in the new coalition government. good evening to you my name's neal have.
