Olympics 2026- lets go!

[LUUUUC!]

Obi Wan are you ok? "I feel a great disturbance in the Force… millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror ..." Yes that was Canada, USA just won the Gold!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!! USA! USA! USA!!!!!

 

[emsomaso]

No doubt. He was outstanding.

He even got an assist on the GW goal…

Can you find them?

Both McDavid and Makar fell asleep on the backcheck for Hughes winning goal.

So proud of the USA hockey team. That interview was epic with Jack Hughes

 

[ICE24]

With the intensity of that game, the Kings games will feel more like a Men's Beer league game.

Both McDavid and Makar fell asleep on the backcheck for Hughes winning goal.

McD tried to win the game himself, Makar made a bad decision at the blue line, and MacK was like , what? Play defense too?

Hellebuyck won that game....

The first period was absolutely legendary.

USA! Hellebuyck stood on his head and they kept the bad turnovers to a minimum. Sorry for Drew, of course. That silver medal line was depressing to watch! But USA earned it.

Congrats to team USA!!
Well done!

Canada, good show, but woof…..the lack of defending on the final play.

USA goalkeeping was phenomenal.

IOC: 3 on 3 hockey in OT Final is bad for the game. Let em play 5v5 till the win.

 

[Bollocks]

I have no less than no clue how I am up at 5am for a hockey game.
GO USA!!
1-0, end of 1st.

That's how it always was for us Slovenian fans of Kopitar...

That's how it always was for us Slovenian fans of Kopitar...and for other European fans, of course.

Congrats to USA! Mixed feelings. Prefer Canada over USA when it comes to how the nation acts on global political stage in recent years, but prefer USA when it comes to hockey...Canadians are way too cocky. And considering this was a hockey battle, yay for USA! Happy for you guys.

Absolutely should be five-on-five. What the hell?

Clearly NHL conditioned that with giving the green light for pausing NHL for Olympics so that North American teams have advantage (more skill and speed; that's also why hockey was played for the first time ever on NHL dimensions ice AFAIK) and also to avoid tiring of the NHL players too much...and with that also comes less risk for injuries.

5 AM?

I just woke up, lol.

Right there with you my little aquatic friend. When it comes to hockey, ‘no kings, no matta..’ for me.

I asked Drew to bottle a few of those silver laced McDavid tears for me, though. Will definitely come in handy for a few rituals I have planned for the latter half of this season.

Me getting just one present for my birthday and Winter holiday because they are in the same week.

I won't argue with your . . . argument. That IS hockey. But that doesn't change the fact that for me personally, I love 3-on-3.

 

[AngelEyes]

Just a terrific game !!! However, I am very disappointed in myself. I found myself pulling for the team with fewer players that I despise on their roster. Team Canada: 7 d-bags. Team USA: 2 d-bags. (But that did not keep me from enjoying the hell out of the unreal performance of Conner Hellebuyck.)

Did Kuemper play a single game for Canada?
