The 4 last men's games, and the gold medal women's game, have all either had a tying goal or winning goal in the last 2 or 3 minutes of regulation.

So much drama.

They did outplay the Finns by a fair amount today, but it could have easily went the other way.

This is certainly not like 2014 for Canada.

Not a hockey guy but I love the rule that if you lose the challenge you have to play short handed.NFL should adopt it.

Losing a timeout is usually pretty important

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.

These uniforms are too close to each other.

US flying early.

Hey Tage, where has that been all year?

He’s been greater 5 on 5 this year. His pp one timer has disappeared this season.

Fins were outplayed but yet and still I think their goalie was going to steal it for them had they not hamstrung him by taking two terrible high sticking penalties leading two 2 ppg and the other goal due to his D man dumping Marchand onto his lap

Oshie is pretty good at this

I'm realizing Olzyck is to passing what football announcers are to 4th downs. Nonstop hindsight yammering except when it works, then you just never mention it.
