You’re not the only one so it’s ok.
Yeah, people were not happy that Sirens had already been wasted on New York.

Sirens is a fantastic name for NY. Anybody who says otherwise obviously never slept a night in Manhattan.

Connor Bedard got an unsportsmanlike penalty that led to Seattle’s GWG after an uncalled slash on a breakaway.
In all honesty, he skated right up to and made contact with the referee and should probably consider himself lucky he only got an unsportsmanlike penalty instead of abuse of officials.

USA Hockey released the jerseys for the Olympics. They’re basically the same jerseys as the ones they’ve been wearing, the 1960 style with USA diagonally across the chest, just slightly altered.
Apparently, people hate them because, and I quote, “look too much like a Rangers jersey”.

Finally. About time they went back to it for the senior tournaments. There should be no other look. It’s the definitive hockey jersey, up there with Brazil’s soccer kit. No white and silver gradient numbers, no mixing blues, no random patterns hidden on the jersey telling a story.
You know who’s coming to play hockey today? The USA. And they’re ready to kick some ass.

Gonna be a moot point if the arena isn't finished and up to the NHLPA's standard of approval, lulz.

At this point it might not even be up to the owners standards.

From the most recent thing I've seen, the ice will be ready end of December for testing in January.
There's no plan B but fortunately all my travel tickets are currently refundable so just gotta see where they end up. I would think Switzerland is first option but I'd love for it to get moved to Munich.

It appears that the Frost and the Torrent are already not friends.
Good. That’s the way it should be.

Yep, still here
Surprised they didn't call the Torino arena on standby once the delays got extreme.

No backup plan for Milan Olympic ice hockey arena as construction goes down to the wire
There is no backup plan if the main ice hockey arena for the Milan Cortina Winter Games is not ready on time.

There's a temporary secondary arena that will used as well.

TBF, Milan and the organizing committee might be saying "there is no Plan B" but I'm willing to bet the IOC, IIHF and NHL have a Plan B.

The Swiss League only has two arenas with 10k+ capacity (since we’re talking about replacing a 16k seat arena), Zurich and Bern, and neither are particularly close to Italy.
Turin still has Palasport Olimpico, which still has its ice plant, has hosted Olympic hockey, has been renovated, has a 12-14k capacity, and is close to Milan.
