2026 Winter Olympics: Thread Title Under Construction

[Kepler]

Has every US-Canada gold medal been a one goal game?

 

[Jimjamesak]

They're going to need Desbiens to be lights out, because they can't pack it in anymore.

Also have had trouble possessing the puck.

I hate 3 on 3

I have learned to appreciate it to the alternative. Especially at the college level, where the puck skills for a shootout are often mid at best. Shootouts are dumb and 3x3 makes them considerably less likely to happen.

 

[Kepler]

Speed and momentum from the late tying goal.

Gotta figure stamina too. Although... women might be different. Women marathoners peak in their mid 30s.

I believe so. Lots of OTs and Shootouts as well.

The alternative is play 5x5 til you drop in an elimination game, otherwise just stop after 60 and shake hands. Ties are honest. Overtime is false precision.

No. 3 mens games yesterday and no resurface. They played right away.

Those were not for a medal.

 

[Kepler]

Per CBC, US and Canada have gone to overtime 12 prior times. 6-6.

 

[Kepler]

Oh man Canada looks bad starting out. And US looks great.

 

[aparch]

Welp, we've reached the track and field portion of the Olympics.

 

[Kepler]

That sucks, but what a spectacular effort.

 

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

Toe drag baby!

 

[Kepler]

The blonde dude from Better Call Saul is crying. That's kind of nice.

 

[Jimjamesak]

Toe drag baby!

Wheel. Snipe. Celly!

 

[St. Clown]

Poor scooby, disappointed again.

 

[Bronco]

LETS GO!

 

[Kepler]

I sure can pick em...

Canada had no business even getting to OT. The better team, by a mile, won. Congratulations and fuck the US.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

There we go. They did it. Nice.

 

[state of hockey]

Heise and Murphy tried to give it away, Taylor got the primary assist from behind their net though!

Speed kills, canada played great but us a hair better in the end
