NHL 2026: The Olympics Will Be Mammoth!

“We’re going to have a tournament in this building. The infrastructure for ice hockey — the dressing rooms, the practice area and the field of play — that’s going to be ready.”

That's from Luc Tardif, the IIHF president on the Olympic hockey arena.

Doesn't make me feel so certain I'll actually be able to watch in person despite having tickets...

I can't believe Markstrom was left in there. Lundqvist was pissed.

Ironic that it was a Roy team that ran up the score on the dead corpse of the goalie

Evidently he was -7.5 for expected goals against. Feels like when you let a pitcher twist in the wind as he’d teed off on. Pretty silly to do in hockey, not like you have a bunch of goalies you are trying to rest.
 
If there’s a dark horse team at the Olympics it’d be Germany for me. Grubauer is in unbelievable form with a 2.21 GAA and .926 Save Percentage, and that’s with playing with Seattle. Plus Draisaitl and Stutzle? They could be a problem.

Quick Billy make room for Hartzy on the team so he can take Stutzle out!
 
Certainty, there are way more important things happening right now, but this doesn't seem good.

"Ironically [at Hockey 1] the only thing that might be ready is the ice and player areas," one NHL governor said. "It's the fan experience now that they're worried about." League executives have said there are concerns about concessions and plumbing in the concourse bathrooms. Tardif noted that Hockey 1 isn't what they expected in terms of capacity. While it was supposed to be a 14,012-seat venue, it is now projected for 11,800 seats.

Give me a trough like the metrodome, a lower bowl unobstructed view, and beer, and it will still be a bucketlist event. I've attended games in much worse arenas (Mariucci).
