Quote from: imafrshmn on Today at 03:54:03 PMAs a decidedly non-patriotic american, i'm just hoping for a good game and potentially a good gold medal game. USA has been able to lean into their team speed and take away time and space from CAN's playmakers and really take away CAN's forechecking and transition game, which is a tough watch. USA has the superior athletes in Knight, Heise, and Edwards and should be favored to go all the way.
It's been easy to hate Evil Corp since we enshittified the Olympics forever in 1992, but yeah I wish we could look forward to a classic game between these two.

"A soft penalty."  LOL.  An understatement.

A historically dominant performance by team USA in Olympic play, winning 5-0 and dealing Canada their first taste of being  shutout in the Olympics. Almost all Canada's shots were low percentage chances. This was the kind of performance that might give hope to another country to oust Canada in the semifinals.

If i'm a Canadian fan in Italy, i'm praying for Poulin's health... and looking forward to the curling competition.

Welp, that was suboptimal.  Hopefully Canada will show up when the game counts.

If I wanted to see Americans commit a murder I'd follow ICE.
