2026 Olympic Hockey

[Cornuck]

Women's Gold Medal game today - starts about 10:10 pacific - anyone planning to watch? I'm guessing Canada are the underdogs this time.

Right - I need to subtract 2 hours! - thanks. Don't think I'll have time to watch this one, but will be following the score online.

Go Canada!

Interesting stats - Canada comes up big when its for all the marbles:

"7 — Number of consecutive games Canada has lost to Team USA heading into the 2026 Olympic gold medal final, dating back to last year’s Rivalry Series.

8 — Number of consecutive games Canada lost to Team USA heading into the 2002 Olympic gold medal final, which the Canadians won 3-2. (In other words, this isn’t new territory for the Canucks.)"*

The Czech coach:

“The referees really worry me. What they’re allowing against us is unacceptable,” Rulik said. “After every game, we send them two or three clips where they confirm that the opponent should have been penalized. I don’t understand it. I just don’t get it. I feel like everyone is afraid to call anything against Canada. We were basically playing against six players.

The nerve!

Especially when they had six skaters on the ice when they scored the go-ahead goal. What is the Czech translation for “Chutzpah”?

There's always six (a)sides to a Rulik's cube...

Damn close....

Those 20 minute 3 on 3s are going to be killer.

If they did even 10 minutes in the NHL I think we'd avoid most shootouts.

Do what they do at our mens league, no changes on the whistle. Mistakes will be made!
