OT: 2018 Winter Olympics Thread

[SniperHF]

As we get closer and I look more at the rosters I'm not sure I'm going to watch a ton of the Olympics. Are any draft eligible or recent draftees playing? Just watching a bunch of NHL rejects isn't doing much for me.

Jordan Greenway is on the US team. Dunno about the others.

You mean you rather see Mike Smith get another Gold Medal for nothing?

Team USA probably has a better chance at winning the gold without a current NHL roster than with.

Rasmus Dahlin is playing for Sweden.

I enjoy the winter sports more than the summer generally. I can't get behind figure skating, but almost everything else is entertaining to me to one degree or another.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Dahlin and green way are pretty good reasons to watch.

Broc Little (HC Davos) is from Phoenix.

Is there a set schedule for hockey? I can find game times but I can't find confirmation of what channels hockey will be on.

Women's begins today, but USA (NBCSN) and Canada (USA channel) first game is tomorrow.

Broc is an entertaining player when he's on his game. Had the pleasure to watch him daily when he played for my hometown team Linköpings HC

Of course I'll watch. I'll watch my country Norway getting totally crushed by Sweden

So far so good

Curling would be more fun playing while drunk.

It is. That is the only way to play it.

Thanks. The times and channels are brutal.

Need to get the N Korean cheerleaders at all Coyote home games... couldn't hurt.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Not a surprise but still sad to see a team like South Korea in their home country lose 8-0.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Those turns in luge are dangerous. I'm surprised nobody has flown off or flipped on their sled yet with the high amount of crashing into the ice wall early on in the games.

I think they were happy to win short track gold. Shut out in Sochi.

Spoke too soon.

Ladies are smothering the Finns.

And they give up a goal with under 6 seconds left in the period. 0-1.
Team USA believes in hockey the hard way, too

 

[Muppet]

Pretty entertaining game so far. Also looking forward to Canada v Artist Formerly Known as Russia later on.

1. Didn't know Mexico had a ski team

2. Didn't know the Grateful Dead were designing sportswear.

Ugly looking. Chile also has a Skiing team.

3-1 win but the team needs to get it's act together if they want to have any chance against Canada.

The Jamaican hockey team has a chance at a medal.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Does anyone ever care about the Jamaican bobsled team or even want to see those from tropical countries do well in the Winter Olympics?

Norway don't care about bobsled. Period. Everybody thought it was very amusing when Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, from England, participated in ski jumping for a few olympics ago though. If that counts as a tropical country for you. It does here.
