Yep. Whose idea was it to have a 3 on 3 OT?? I'm sure Canada and USA lobbied hard for this so as to avoid hard fought OTs and even more tired players coming back to the NHL...but it just doesn't feel right in a knockout phase.

CZE got so close though even in OT with a grade A chance. Necas is top notch. But did the entire arena actually miss that CZE had 6 players on ice on that occasion or is that some kind of joke??

I agree, I was about to take a 15 minute break for the OT intermission. Then I realized the OT was about to start. These games should not be decided by a skills competition.

One day later, Canada and Sweden’s Olympic curling beef is still simmering

A day after their on-ice dispute at the Olympics was the talk of the curling world, Canada and Sweden weren't entirely ready to move on.

Canadian curling star Marc Kennedy claims he was set up by "premeditated" cameras to catch him "in an act" of cheating.

The Canadian curling team is now claiming to be victims after they were caught on camera 'double-touching' the stone.

"They have come up with a plan here at the Olympics, as far as I know, to catch teams in the act at the hog line," Kennedy said.

"This was planned... it was kind of evident that something was going on, and they were trying to catch us in an act."

Kennedy and Coach Paul Webster accused Sweden of setting up cameras to catch them cheating.

"I know we’re not the only team that they’ve done that to. So I think this was, I don’t know what the word is for that, but like a premeditated plan to try to catch us," Kennedy said.

Sweden is firing back at Canada, saying they've been sounding the alarm on alleged Canadian cheating for seven or eight years.

"We've been saying this for maybe seven, eight years or something. The media crew decided to place the camera on the hog line to see what was happening..." said Niklas Edin of Sweden.

File this under: News of the Stupid.

So they thought you would cheat (because you were known to be a cheater for 7 or 8 years), and then you went and cheated.......again. Now you're mad about getting caught?!?!

Bro, you're reputation caught up with you. Now you look like a clown for crying about it.

Agreed. The Canadian women's team were taken down by it. Now if it happens to the men's team, "real change" may happen. But, on the plus, that "controversy" will surpass the benching Wayne in the shootout in Nagano by *checks notes* *laughs, and laughs and laughs* Marc Crawford.

Aside: When I lived in Hawaii they had this thing called: Aloha Friday. Where you showed up at work, but did not actually get things done and when you did you took your time with it. Culturally, everyone just bought in and if people complained, you stated: It's Aloha Friday. Awesome.

Feel like today is going to be an "Aloha Friday".

Okay, Canada v Finland--*excited*
 
Go Finland! Great 1st period from the Finns! Team Canada can beat beaten! Would love to see both underdog teams advance today leaving USA and Canada playing for a meaningless Bronze.
 
What party? :Google, who are the Finnish Mafia?

Core Members: Roope Hintz, Miro Heiskanen, Esa Lindell, and Mikko Rantanen are considered the primary members, especially during the 2026 Olympic tournament.

What party?: Is Teemu Selanne the "Godfather" ?

Google said that Lindell is sometimes the godfather and Selanne is the Finnish Flash. *sigh*

Hang on, let me check to see who is Fredo...

Fredo: n/a

This is why AI is going to fail, it had a chance to be completely funny...pfft.
