Olympic hockey thread

I got to watch the final game with my parents (late 70s) and son (now 18!) and it kinda felt like it could be the last time we get to experience something like that together. I can't even be mad about the outcome. All time classic game in my opinion, right up there.

Yeah well said. I couldn't watch with family obviously but a bunch of the Canadians from ball hockey got to watch it at 1-4pm on a Sunday, a historic opportunity. And agreed it was one of the best games I've ever seen.

Isn't there a good chance that the speech is like 2.5+ hours long? It feels like an appropriate punishment for all these guys if so, I bet they so rarely have to endure boredom or sitting still without a phone

watching either Tkachuk forced to sit still for so long would be a fun consolation

I remember taking the 2009 Stanley Cup Final loss very hard (especially considering they won the year before) because I didn’t know if my dad would be around for another round. He passed away in March 2010. At this rate who knows if I see another run. Anyway, savor what you can.

Saw a picture of five of the US players with Karoline Leavitt and someone else, Tage Thompson was wearing a MAGA hat

I'm really beginning to miss when NHL players refused to talk about anything other than hockey cliches

[pissfarm]

I mean his name is Tage, after all.

Fuckin STOKED Brock Nelson wasn’t there. Don’t care why, just gonna believe he has a conscience.

[Cacophony]

Tage went ‘patriotic’ and then put up 2 points in a win

It’s such an honor - US hockey guys

*have to listen to a demented freak ramble for 2 hours, gets you McD’s and it’s not even a happy meal*

[pissfarm]

He only buys happy meals for his, uh, never mind.
