2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics :olympics:

Well all parties thought they settled it the first time, but the manufacturers continued to push the boundaries which led to Broomgate 2.0. We’ll see if something similar doesn’t happen again.

Men’s Hockey team on the ice at 10:40 et.

Mens curling right now (8am et) and women’s curling at 1pm - both vs Italy.

Men’s curling has clinched a playoff spot. Women’s curling has to win their last 2 to get in, or beat Korea and hope for help.

This is unprofessional horse pucky.

They just wanted an excuse to go back to standing around, drinking a beer, farting around, and perhaps picking their noses too the same as they would be doing at home if watching on TV, but they are there.

Heavy favorites Canada down 2-1 after 1st to Czhechia.

The panic has begun to creep into Chris Cuthbert’s (Canada’s #1 hockey announcer) voice. If Canada continues to lag behind the feisty Czhechs its only going to get worse for Cuthbert.

As for commentator Mike (Johnson) he’ll turn on Team Canada is the favored Canadians are snuffed out this morning!

Mark Stone with a costly turnover, trying to make a pass rink wide only to be picked off by Czhechia.

Follow that up with a PP goal with Celebrini in the box.

Let’s see if :canada: settles down for the 2nd period.

I know if I am Cooper, Stone is getting a good view of the period from the bench.

Did not detect any “panic” from Cuthbert or Johnson myself.

And a missed call by the refs - same type of penalty called on Celebrini in the first - not called on the Czechia player on Crosby.

And Crosby caught in another hit and now off to the dressing room.

Yikes, now Super Kid Sid off to the dressing room after being bonged by Gudas. Canada looks dishevelled and disorganized. Sheldon Cooper must do some actual coaching - else we’ll have a national catastrophe on the land of the Maple Leaf.

If Crosby’s out - Cooper can’t afford to staple anyone to the bench. Dustal doing a magic “Vezina” act on the Canucks.

Only smart move Sheldon Cooper made today was putting Josh Morrissey in the spares room. Morrissey is very good in average NHL games - but he’d be awful in the heavy swamps of this Czech assault.

Lots of hockey to play but the longer the Czechs have the lead, the more the Canucks will press, start grinding their sticks into sawdust and shot pelting the middle of Dostal (Czech goaler).

2-2.

Cuthbert and Johnson pumped up for you Nasty :wink:

What a gamer that Sid is - trying to walk off a probably broken leg (or close to it). Sid has leadership qualities that guys like McDavid, McKinnon and Stone have no idea. BiG LOSS. McKinnon showing signs of panic - UNTIL HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES! Power-Play goal ties the game. The Magic Man, Dostal can’t even stop the McKinnon shot. Gotta go down to Tim Hortons later and pick me up some cards!!! lol

No wonder the Czechs scored the go ahead gl in the 3rd, they had 6 players on the ice, non reviewable play, horrible reffing, NHL ref Chris Rooney calling the shots. Imagine if that was the gold medal winning gl in OT, haha what a joke. You’d almost think things are fixed.

Yeah that’s his typical look, mouth agape wondering what’s going on.

How did they miss 6 skaters for basically an entire shift?

There’s actually 6 guys celebrating the goal if you watch it again.

In women’s hockey it feels like the women may get boatraced.

In curling the men have clinched second. Woman win and in, lose and out.

From what i’ve read the Czechs actually had 7 skaters and a goalie on the ice when they scored and 2 refs and 2 linesmen missed it, wow.

I heard it was 11 skaters and 2 goalies and every ref in the world missed it :slight_smile:
