2026 Winter Olympics: Thread Title Under Construction

Is NBC running multiple commentary crews for games? Italy-Finland on USA had the NHL crew, then the game got bumped because it's 9-0. Switched to Peacock and it's a different team. Might actually just be one guy.

I think a lot of the Peacock feeds are just the OBS feeds. So that's the OBS announcer, who I recognize as a guy who works in the UK.

And we have a curling controversy!

Footage circulating widely online appeared to show Kennedy breaching curling rules by touching the granite stone with his outstretched finger after he had already released it.

It's very silly but the memes are great.

Interesting ending to Slovakia-Sweden. Because the first tiebreaker is games involving teams tied, and with Finland expected to beat Italy, all three teams would end the round robin tied at six points. It then comes down to goal differential between the games involving those teams. Finland would be net even, winning 4-1 and losing 4-1. It was 5-2 Sweden near the end of the third, which would have left all three tied in goal differential as well, leaving Sweden as the winner of the group (I'm assuming goals scored was the next tiebreaker). Well, Slovakia scored with 30 seconds left, now giving them +1 and Sweden -1, so we saw a team up 5-3 pulling the goalie to try to score another.

And then Finland destroyed Italy 11-0, which will almost assuredly give them the top 2nd place spot and the final bye in the knockout round with six points and a +11 GD.

Nice to see some Lakers back at the Olympics. Louis Boudon playing for France scored 2 and assisted on a 3rd in their 6-3 loss to Czechia. Lukas Kalble playing for Germany had a goal and an assist in their loss to Latvia.
