You better start preparing your apology now. June is coming real fast.

I thought there might be an outside chance team USA would give someone the ol' Tonya Harding so Quinn Hughes could play. Glad that didn't happen for many reasons lol

Just sat down in time to see the Bennet goal. Go Canada!

I'm gonna join in with everyone and recommend completely zeroing all the drives (make sure you unmount them before doing it). It will take a while but at least you will have drives in a known state and can eliminate that as a possible issue.

Asking out of genuine naivety, why do you do that?

Does someone have a link to the Tasha Yar one? I forgot to click save and I'm too lazy to comb through the meme haystack

Still waiting for the Pettersson Miller feud to pop off

Agreed. I hope that situation gets worked out eventually.

I really want there to be a Central Europe team in the next iteration as well, give players like Draisaitl and Pastrnak a chance to participate.

I love listening to solo piano or ambient music while reading. Any other type of music is too much for my brain to handle.

It's an adjustment I had to make when everyone started working from home in 2020, and I find it works well on transit too. Might just be that I've trained my brain to go into focus mode when I hear that type of music.

Late push by Finland, we might have a game here

It sounds like he'll be good for Thursday, but we'll see when we get there. I agree, he's kind of a spiritual leader on that team and not the type of guy to sit out over being banged up.

Dominant first period by Canada. We play this way against the US, I like our chances.

Also it's weird to see McDavid and Doughty being pals

I'm making a thread to discuss both games today: -13:00 EST / 10:00 PST ― CAN vs. FIN -20:00 EST / 17:00 PST ― USA vs. SWE

Team Canada news: Cale Makar is playing, Binnington gets the start.

If the first game ends in regulation, the winner will advance to the final against USA. In case it goes to overtime, the door will be open for Sweden to advance with a regulation win.

UPDATE: Matthew Tkachuk (lower body) will not play tonight, Chris Kreider will dress instead. Charlie McAvoy will also not play (I think? The article just says he will be replaced by Jake Sanderson, nothing else). Oettinger will start for USA; SWE goalie still tba.

UPDATE 2: As per Elliote Friedman just now, Mattias Ekholm and Viktor Arvidsson are out for team Sweden (rip oilers), Leo Carlsson and Rasmus Andersson are in. Linus Ullmark is expected to start.

UPDATE 3:

Results of early gameCAN 5 - 3 SWE

★ Nathan Mackinnon (2G) ★★ Connor McDavid (1G, 1A) ★★★ Mikael Granlund (2G)

Finland roared back from a 4-0 deficit with seven minutes remaining in the game, causing a spike in heart rate across Canada when they made it a 4-3 game in the final minute. Sidney Crosby released the tension with an empty-net goal a few seconds later, punching Canada's ticket to the final on Thursday. The USA vs. SWE game later today is officially for pride only.

UPDATE 4: It turns out Elliotte Friedman was wrong, because I'm sitting here watching Ekholm and Arvidsson clearly playing. Rakell and Zibanejad are the actual scratches. Brady Tkachuk has also gone down with an injury. That's rough for team USA.

FINAL UPDATE:

Late game resultsUSA 1 - 2 SWE

★ Jesper Bratt (1G) ★★ Samuel Ersson (.969 SV%) ★★★ Zach Werenski (1A)

Team USA battled hard despite a bite from the injury bug (missing Matthews, McAvoy, both Tkachuks), but ultimately fell short of the win. Sweden was able to hold on to a narrow lead thanks in large part to a stellar goaltending performance from Samuel Ersson.

Thanks for hanging out everyone, it's been fun. Someone else will have to post the game thread on Thursday, as I'm going to be busy until at least the 2nd period. I'm looking forward to joining the discussion later on when I get the chance.

Until next time, take 'er easy, buds!

 

Let's see if we can drum up some activity around here

 

He stunned Markstrom with the intense, prolonged eye contact lmao
