2026 Olympics

[imafrshmn]

Canada women eke over the finish line to beat Switzerland 2-1 in the semis, making 2 Poulin goals in the second period stand up.

Meanwhile USA cruise into the gold medal game with a 5-0 pasting of Sweden, looking every bit as hungry, confident, and dangerous as you would expect.

So it is, once again, a Canada-USA olympic final. Team Canada will be trying to conjure up all the old magic, but may find it very difficult to impose their will on this game with their aging core who cannot keep up with USA's track meet. Their head coach seems to be lacking ways to find them a psychological edge--things looked very nervy and disjointed in the third against the Swiss.

And in either case, a Cornellian gets gold!
