Matthews has played damn well so far.


He absolutely has.

He needs to be otherworldly, a la McDavid, to win gold.

As long as he doesn't screw up in big moments and continue what he's been doing, it will be enough

He missed two sitters and lost McDavid for the winning goal in the 4 Nations so hopefully he wants to redeem himself there. But Sweden first.

I’m not a huge Matthews fan (largely due to his team, not really his fault), but beyond wanting the US to win gold, it’d be absolutely hilarious if Matthews captained a gold medal-winning team. Would absolutely infuriate all of the Canadian fans who despise the Leafs… and also the Leafs fans that’d be pissed he can’t do it for them.

Would be pretty cool if Latvia pulled the upset today.

Chalk has held today, barring a massive Latvian comeback with 12 minutes left

Canada-Czechia
USA-Sweden
Slovakia-Germany
Finland-Switzerland

These should be some great games, possibly minus the first.

Anything can happen in a single game elimination.

Of course this has just been the messaging of the year, and only matters if it lasts through June, every Avalanche player in the Olympics has a goal. Avs keep on keepin’ on the ice

I put $5 on Germany to cover +3.5 and they immediately gives up a goal.

Germany, hockey, and bet do not belong in the same sentence.

The Germans were a medal dark horse. Their goaltending isn't good enough, but a combined German-Swiss team would be pretty damn formidable.

Never heard that discussion myself.. not saying you're wrong but when I see these teams I see a lot of names I'd expect to be in the conversation and Germany and Switzerland are just about the two I wouldn't.

Canada-Czechia
USA-Sweden
Slovakia-Germany
Finland-Switzerland

This is a good result on paper for the Americans because they re-seed in the semifinals, so it keeps Finland and Canada on the other side of the draw.

Off paper and on the ice, maybe Slovakia is better than Finland right now and that's NOT a good thing. They did crush them in the preliminary round, after all.

The hot girl from New Zealand is currently getting screwed by judges in snowboard slopestyle.

One run left.

Sorry. Didn't notice this was a hockey thread. All I saw was 'Olympics Official Thread."

Canada TRAILS Czechia 2-1 at the end of 1P.

Needless to say this would be an enormous upset, so Canada will probably score 4 goals in the next period.

I know it’s been talked about, but the way they do the playoff round is so incredibly dumb
