2022 Olympic Hockey Thread

Wow, that was a nail biter. Rybar was perfect in the shootout. The announcers said he was their number 3 goalie at the start.

Lol Beniers wasn't a shooter, go home USA hockey, you're drunk. 

[Billznut]

Congrats to Craig Ramsay. Outstanding coaching job all the way throughout the Olympics so far for him. 

As for team USA, you can’t let an inferior opponent hang around that long. Bad things happen. Pretty much unforgivable to not medal this year.

***** Julien.  I hope Owen Power scores 17 goals and Canada still loses by 1.

Canada on the verge of elimination. Both teams loaded with JAGs, tough to watch.

Sweden’s JAGs have more energy and structure.

1-0 is a huge lead when Eric Staal is your go to guy.

Yea, it's not like McDavid, Huberdeau, and Marchand are about to come over the boards with Cale Makar on defense.

God I hated him on the Sabres. 
I actually saw a Sabres Staal jersey the other day. I actually laughed out loud as the guy passed me in a store. What a Bozo….

Thank God, Devon Levi and Power can GTFO of China now.

Julien had a chance to script an historic story with Devon Levi.

He chose instead to tick off a grocery list of safe and boring.

Personally, I'm going to hold it against him forever.

[K-9]

Allow me to play devil’s advocate, but is it possible that Levi was the worst goalie in practice and Julien had a legitimate reason not to dress him? I ask that as someone who is convinced that Devon Levi will be a first ballot HOFer.

I love watching coaches coach "not to lose" and then losing. Leslie Frasier, Claude Julien. These guys are often risk adverse at this stage in their career.

It is inconceivable that Devon Levi could look worse than Eddie Pasquale and Matt Tomkins in any situation.

How much practice did they even have??  Didn't Julien break his ribs and show up to China the day before tourney started?

When the Bills draft another f'ing edge rusher this year, I will know everything I need to know about that coaching staff. How many times did the edge presser work only for Mahomes to just escape straight up the middle because the middle of that defense from the line to the linebackers were total trash.

Actually am hoping that monster DT from GA is the pick.

Jordan Davis. 

I actually hope they get multiple players from that UGA defensive line.

That's the one.  🍻

I thought Tomkins played great today for Canada, he's in his prime and having a hell of season overseas.     

He wasn't the reason they lost.

Bad turnover by Team Canada in their zone coupled with a deflected shot by the Canadian defenseman's stick from a dangerous part of the ice.  Agree, hard to fault Tomkins on that one.  

No North American teams in the mix for the medals....thanks Covid!

[Claude Balls]

Welp.....let's go U.S. of A. ladies!!!

[DarthEbriate]

Levi would've stopped them all.
