Winter Olympics Hockey Thread

Well, Canada certainly responded to being challenged in the 1st period, because they just went nuts after that. The Finns almost finessed it out, but that high stick was a killer. Fair enough. Better team won, but I do wish that they had done so without Cooper resorting to the all star meathead line option. If it ends up being US/Canada, it’s going to get very, very stupid if he does that again
Maybe usa can lineup the kachucklehead line against them and all just go get fighting game misconducts right off the bat and then the rest of the teams can go play hockey.

Canada will have last change, so they’d have to also want that … but given how Cooper has coached in this tournament, he might actually do it.
 
6-2 final, with the only downer being whatever happened to Tage Thompson. He’s been great on PP1, so I hope it actually was a precautionary issue that saw him miss the third period. Oh, and a hearty welcome to the party to Jack Hughes, who finally found his game today. Solid performance from the US against a scrappy but shallow Slovak team.
 
Look, they miss Sid for sure but the gap between Morrissey and Sanheim is a LOT bigger than between (current day) Crosby and Suzuki … who is basically taking his minutes.

I'm sort of hoping that Tom Wilson & the Rat mix it up with the Tkachuk brothers and they all get injured and thrown out of the game. A guy can dream, right?

It would be peak moron behavior, so … it’s on the table although I doubt either coach would approve. Out of those 4, Brady Tkachuk is having the best tournament by miles, so it would be a net win for Canada.
 
A bad penalty Finns convert and practically end it with a Kakko goal.
Slovakia was looking good before the penalty
 
Given all the media attention the Tkachuk boys get and how many interviews they give, especially Matthew with his 2 Stanley Cups, why is Austin Matthews even the Captain?? Heck, even during the women’s game they spoke Tkachuks…
