2026 Olympic Hockey

[OrangeXtreme]

The Gold Medal Hockey Game has always been the final event on Sunday as far as I can remember.
Why would they change it.

8:00 is not that early. You could tape the game, start watching at 9:00 -- fast forwarding commercials and intermission, you will be fully caught up by the start of the 3rd period.

Or go dark and watch the replay on USA at 4:30 Sunday.

I'm not crazy about a penalty for a failed challenge (obviously I'm in the minority as the NHL voted to add a penalty a few years back)

To me, if you are going to grant one challenge then grant it with no strings attached.

For example, Canada's second goal today (with 10 minutes left) apparently may have been an offside. But the Finns declined to challenge out of fear of being penalized.

To me the one challenge should give you chance to get a call right, and not a strategic call in case you are wrong.

donr you get a challenge by using the timeout?
