Post-Game Talk: 2018 Winter Olympics - PyeongChang, South Korea February 9-25

[Bruinaura]

Pretty much lol

 

[BMC]

Exactly. There's a long tradition of that. The Finnish Russian war in the late 30s saw a lot of that. And then also in ww2 of course. Good call!

Thank you. History is my first love!

 

[Alicat]

Looks like the weather is absolutely perfect for the half pipe.

These tricks are just insane

 

[BruinLVGA]

Thank you. History is my first love!

It's a good love. I too am fond of it.

 

[BMC]

I have never watched women's ski jumping before. These women can f***ing fly

PS: They have as many screws loose as their male counterparts

 

[BMC]

It's a good love. I too am fond of it.

I wanted to major in history but you can't do much with a history degree except teach and I was not up for that. So it is my serious hobby.

Mirai Nagasu just made Olympic history. She is the first US Woman to land a triple axel at the Olympics and only 3rd in history.

Incredible.

Mirai Nagasu: Former Avs ‘ice girl’ wins bronze medal at Olympics

During the 2015-16 season, Mirai Nagasu was a member of the Colorado Avalanche’s “Ice Girls.” All apologies to speedsters such as Nathan MacKinnon, but chances are, she was the most skilled skater on that surface every night.

Good thing she wasn't up in Montreal, because if she had been not only would she have been the most talented skater on the ice most nights, she also would have probably played tougher int he corners than most of the Canadians,

Such a cool story. You gotta pay for training somehow.

4th place in Vancouver to an Avs ice girl and now a Bronze medalist.

I’ll end up catching the 3rd period of the Canada game tomorrow morning as I get ready for work.

I get in early so I’ll get at least a period of the USA game before anyone shows up in the office

The best part of the NBC app is that there are full replays shortly after the game is over.

 

[Bruinaura]

A political symbol. Okay.

Glad to know they are against liberty...

 

[Pia8988]

Half pipe has been really good so far.

 

[Pia8988]

Okay...Men half pipe is f***ing insane. Qualifying top run is now Shawn White with a 98.50. Top 3 above 95 so far.

 

[Alicat]

I woke up and turned on the Canada game only to see them go up 4-0 over Finland.

The 4th goal was misplayed by Nora Ratty so she slammed her blocker on the ice in frustration and then one of the announcers chastised her.

She’s down 4-0 I’d be worried if she wasn’t frustrated and upset.

Any favorite particular time in history & place or pretty much everything?

 

[Alicat]

Safe to say the USA and Russia don't like each other.

USA up 1-0!!

 

[Alicat]

After 1, USA leads OAR 1-0.
