No, we're not "splitting hairs". You're just out of touch.
Major tournaments Gold Medal matchups since 2020.
Gold metal games. Not prelim games where I'll make it to the Finals anyway if I lose this one.
How on earth is this US is far superior to Can?
You make it sound like Canada was lucky to get the game to OT since they were clearly inferior
and overtime is 3 on 3.
- 2026 Olympics: USA def. Canada (2-1, OT)
- 2025 Worlds: USA def. Canada

I apologize for having a different opinion than you.
You are 100% correct and I am 100% wrong.
How could I have been so stupid? Canada has NOT lost 6 straight games to the US. And even if they did, they don't count.
8:10 am tomorrow morning! We will find out which team could stand out in this special occasion. Defense wins the Championship!
Let's go, C!

An 8:10 am start is a wasted opportunity to garner a huge North American audience.
I know....I know. The hockey final is always on the last Sunday and finishes before the closing ceremony.
They could have started at 11:00 am EST and still finished before the closing ceremony at 2:30 pm EST.
The hell with tradition. They could have started a day earlier and had the final Saturday afternoon.
Bars open for alcohol tomorrow at 6am.
There's gonna be a lot of drunk, pissed off fans downtown if Canada loses

Bills Nation on Instagram: "At the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, Canada has faced significant scrutiny following allegations of cheating in curling, specifically regarding “double-touching” violations. These accusations sparked heated on-ice confrontations and led to a temporary change in officiating protocols by World Curling. Curling “Double-Touch” Controversy The controversy centers on the “double-touch” rule, which prohibits players from touching the stone after its release or touching the granite body of the stone to gain an advantage. Men’s Team Incident: On February 13, 2026, during a match against Sweden, Swedish player Oskar Eriksson accused Canada’s Marc Kennedy of double-touching the stone. This led to a profanity-laced exchange between the players that was broadcast live, resulting in a verbal warning for the Canadian team. While officials did not see the live infraction, video evidence appearing to show the touch later circulated on social media. Women’s Team Penalty: Following the men’s incident, officials increased surveillance. On February 14, 2026, Canadian skip Rachel Homan had a stone removed from play during a match against Switzerland for a double-touch violation. Homan denied the allegation, stating she had “never done it in my life”. Officiating Response: World Curling initially doubled the number of umpires to monitor every throw. However, by February 15, 2026, the governing body reversed this policy, deciding that umpires would only monitor throws specifically at the request of a competing team. . . #canada #winterolympics #olympics #memes"

Final medal count (not including todays hockey game).
Holland and Norway really outperformed given the size of each country

I'd say Italy and to a lessor extent Japan had great Olympics relative to form.Final medal count (not including todays hockey game).

That was a great 2nd period. 19 shots.
It was nice seeing Makar take a shot from a bit further out. Hellebuyk is so big it's hard to beat him from in close. The shooter has no angles.
I liked Mike Johnston's "double doink".
And I hate those dirty Tkaczuks.
Marchand must have mishandled the puck about 8 times so far.
