Mcdavid will save me. If not mac will and if not then mack will and if not then mak will.

You and I both wish.

 

[Zara]

This is not going as planned.

 

[Lleytonstation]

You and I both wish.

Mcdavid saved us. My captain, our captain. We beat @Federer and Del Potro stars.

At least the US women beat Canada for the Gold. Hopefully, the US men can follow.

You already have your supper bowl and bouncy bucket game. Let us have this.

We had a couple of back to back tight games. I am not very hopeful. Let’s pray.

Agreed. Likely a depressing and tragic ending. But expected.

Ok. I decree it. Happy?

 

[Lleytonstation]

Ok. I decree it. Happy?

Very. I thank you for the gift and will grant the USA to keep the stanley cup.

They’ll need to channel Andy Murray’s winning spirit into the final game.

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

Very generous of you. Thanks.

The Finns are salty as Finnish licorice after that late penalty and personally as a Swede I love it!
Btw I love the Finns I just don't like to see them succeed in hockey!

 

[spystud]

This is entirely too early.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Just finish me already. I cant live through this.

 

[spystud]

3-on-3 for glory.

Cannot believe Celebrini doesn’t have about 4 today.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

 

[spystud]

Never a freaking doubt, easy game.

 

[Kralingen]

McJesus and Makar were total cushionheads that entire OT

 

[MeatTornado]

I'm happy to win, but 3v3 to decide the gold medal is such BS. That wasn't very satisfying.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Not very satisfying. Extremely satisfying

You got dominated and your goalie saved you.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

3 on 3 OT in Olympics is diabolical and a meme.

What do you think of 3 on 3 OT? I don't think it belongs in Olympics personally. Favors the more talented team way too heavily.

I like that lol.

I mean I think its the right call. You cant have a condensed tourney when you have back to back days or every other day potentially go twice as long. We had 3 OTs yesterday. Scheduling could get jacked up.

Its better than shootout so its like college football, damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I tried to tell @Lleytonstation it’s buns but he didn’t agree so now he has to eat it sadly

 

[spystud]

You misspelled Gold.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

You got dominated and your goalie saved you.

You shoulda lost in 2010 tbh this is repayment. We are square now. See ya in the WCF twin.

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

Ok. I decree it. Happy?

Sorry, Canada. I tried.
Though congratulations to the US for winning the Gold(first time in 46 years) and to Canada for winning the Silver medal.

 

[spystud]

Canucks were not real happy with the stuffed animals.

 

[TTMR]

Really need Russia back to make these international tournaments interesting.

 

[Zara]

Just finish me already. I cant live through this.

Yeah, this needs to end.

 

[Zara]

Where things went wrong was Ford allowing alcohol first thing in the morning. That’s truly the way to jinx the outcome.

 

[davced1]

Really need Russia back to make these international tournaments interesting.

Yeah sure but they never won the Olympics before with all the best players they bring flair though!

 

[jm1972]

The quack attack is back, Jack!

 

[FD3S]

As a Canadian, seeing the Gaudreau jersey flying high right after the game made me feel way more sad than the result ever could. He should have been there, damn it. It ain't fair.

 

[Mr.Lob]

Congrats to team U.S.A! Great win for the gold.

 

[Mr.Lob]

Canucks were not real happy with the stuffed animals.

Thought that was cringy as h**. You have these big tough hockey players, just spilled their guts on the ice in a heartbreaking loss...and you're handing them a little stuffed animal toy? Ridiculous.

 

[Bartelby]

This gold, and all golds, have a big asterisk attached.

Is it the Olympic/hockey version of AO 2022?

 

[Bartelby]

On a much bigger and global scale! The AO was petty politics by comparison.

It could have worked for Morrison, but the opposition didn't touch the issue.

This moral cowardice was and is a hallmark of the incoming government.

[TTMR]

I watched nothing but the Lindsay Vonn accident and the closing ceremonies. I will say those closing ceremonies were insanely well done, and put the SB half-time show to shame.

 

[Roforot]

If they did the mighty ducks formation I may have to watch a replay.

 

[Bartelby]

You just don't like bunnies. After all, operatic singing is not very NFL!

Hockey is not a game for Gentle Tennis Fans.

 

[Dan Lobb]

Not very satisfying. Extremely satisfying

If you won on a coin flip, it would be extremely satisfying.

However, Canada won the curling final over Scotland. There is always something to be happy about.

 

[Zara]

Is it the Olympic/hockey version of AO 2022?

That was like the biggest drama in TTW history. It really exposed true hatred for a player who was keeping his main rivals at bay. I specifically lost respect for one group of fans.

 

[Zara]

Canada was just so unlucky to have lost both the Stanley Cup final and the Olympic final. One more gold could have put us in top 10.

 

[Zara]

@Zara we taking gold and germany taking silver.

@Deda Mraz can have serbia for bronze

This was all good except for that there was a giant elephant in the room. Did you not see it?

It is funny to see people still having attachments to their country's teams in order to show off patriotism or something.

The players are just that - players - and nothing more. They are not "doing" anything for their country - they were born there and took the opportunities that came their way.
