Good grief. Why y'all continue to melt over midweek losses will never not baffle me.

They won gold and represented their country well! Why would he want to belittle them? Am I missing something? I can’t really fault the men for laughing a bit, but the president definitely shouldn’t be joking about that.

Geez. Is this the part where we pretend we care about women’s sports as much as men’s? He didn’t even roast them in his comment anyway.

The government robs us.

I thought about this and wonder if others feel the same, but is there such a thing as too fast in hockey? Obviously to be able to just zoom around the defense is a weapon, but he would close the distance on the goalie so fast that it seemed like his options for shot selection would evaporate just as quickly and he'd get forced into something less than ideal.

---

Kinda yeah. Most of the time though McDavid can extend past defenders and in this case, IIRC, the US defender stayed close enough in his hip pocket with speed of his own that CMD never switched to a shooting position. You are correct that the ice gets very short when you’re going that fast.

And this other thing Canadians are bitching about. The supposed too many men on the ice - the sixth one is a safe distance (and going towards) at the bench. If the Olympics rule is the same as the NHL then it's not a penalty. That player going off the ice can not touch the puck, or else it's a penalty is how I'm remembering it. They're just grasping at straws and embarrassing themselves.

---

The Canadiens are just ate up with the cuckery with all of this whining. "You tell me who the better team was?" Okay, sure thing. The US didn't have their best player overskate a breakaway and fail to get a shot off like McDavid did. The US didn't completely fan on a wide open net like MacKinnon did. The US didn't blow 1:40 ish of 5 v 3 powerplay time where they only generated I think 2 shots like the Canadien unit did.


The fact is that you generated more chances than the US but you failed time and again to convert and scoring chances don't count on the scoreboard. You couldn't solve Hellebuyck and the US found ways to solve Bennington. Also, in OT with 3 All Stars on the ice, you loafed on the way back defensively after overcommitting and giving an odd man rush back the other way and the one guy who was back got bullied off the puck and you gave up a prime chance to a US scorer, who by the way did what you couldn't and found a way to bury the puck in the back of the net. You didn't deserve to win and your crying about it won't change that reality.

Blows my mind their OT strategy was essentially just, "Ok let's take turns driving the net 1 on 3."

Yet they STILL got caught out on a break. They played that OT horribly.

---

Canada can make all the excuses they want but the OT was a good picture of the game in a nutshell. Canada had numbers and couldn't finish where the US turned it around and did. Canada had opportunities but scoring chances don't count on the scoreboard. They couldn't solve Hellebuyck and couldn't finish plays. They deserved to lose. If you're that much better than the US and you let them hang around and failed to put them away, you deserve to get bit and that's exactly what happened.
