Basically my thoughts.

Getting a point out of that is huge (for their push to not have to give up a lottery pick). A pleasant plot twist, anyway, was so sure DET was going to drop one in late in the 3rd.

Detroit pushing late here, ideal timing for worst possible outcome

I mean... it is comical that this game is tied, right?

Got absolutely eviscerated with stomach flu Monday night so I've been going to bed at like 8, 8:30, getting great sleeps. Now I'm up eating doritos at 9PM, still at least 45 mins to go before I try to soothe my fury after the what is seeming like an inevitable 3-1 loss with Detroit having 18 shots o...

Well I did get outta there 30 mins earlier than usual and saw last half of the 2nd, suffice it to say you can come to THIS thread for the unbiased version of events the rest of the way.

Somehow this guy has played 1100 games

The RD available market, at least as far as I've seen it, is terrible. Gonna be a bunch of teams in on crappy players.

I can't watch the first two hours anyway, doing bedtime, likely a mercy.

At this point the SNES only (semi-?) realistic hope is 8 seed. Going down 11 to the wings would not be good but the bigger cost is just the 2 points on the group of teams fighting for 8

Great I have to start caring about this shit again? Love to come back to a SNES/DRW matchup too, hope it's as fun as always

I saw a tweet this morning and would look for it but I deleted my account, so... Sandy had a pretty rough gold medal game xG% wise (based on this tweet's graph) but he looked generally good in the tournament.

Like, feels kinda nuts but Canada had almost no secondary scoring from forwards almost the entire tournament (not counting France, obv)

And, you know, I guess I could go to blue sky but I feel that it's less the platform than the medium? Just the absolute worst way to communicate. My oldest came upstairs just before this while I posting about the olympics (she's home sick from school) and asked what I was doing and I told her I was ...

Have no idea how I lasted this long but this morning I just hit a tipping point and finally deactivated my twitter account.

Really? These guys were non entities as far as I noticed.

Not a goaltending expert but, yes, I do believe it's considered not a great idea to leave a triangle hole you can calculate the hypotenuse of between your legs.

Binnington was totally fine all tournament, just fine tho. Like, he stopped most of the shots you expect, had a couple nice saves, yada yada. He's a bottom tier starter, though, so I guess that went about as well as you'd expect.

Can't really hate on Binnington but he did basically get out of the way of the winner Yeah. I think 3-on-3 OT is basically you NEED: 1) to have possession and never give it up 2) your goalie to make a save when the other team gets an inevitable 2-on-1 or guy in alone 3) the other team to miss the n...

He's too young to take actual BLAME but Celebrini had like THREE chances to win it in that last PP and missed the net on all of them. Not nearly as bad as McKinnon's but... bad.
