I can't even remember the last time the Canadians didn't play for a medal. Had to look it up but apparently it wasn't that long ago - 2019. It just always feels like it's a given that they'll end up as one of the last 4 teams.

US win 7-2 and will move on to face Finland in the semifinals, assuming Sweden beats Switzerland as they should

I was very split watching Sweden-Switzerland. Of course, I want the Swiss to pull off the upset, but Sweden is at home, and they've been long-suffering as well.

Sweden winning in OT is probably the best outcome for the tournament overall. Switzerland could have snuck into the semi-final, but they'd probably then lose both their semi-final game and for the one for bronze. They aren't really there yet.

Team USA doing their Tampa Bay Lightning impression to start their match against the Finns. Multiple putrid turnovers and not showing up on time to start the game. Down 0-2.

Figured it out (Don't be like the Lightning) and decided to show up and Will Smith ties it 2-2. Howard had a couple of real nice looks and a chance that should've went in. Kid's in his environment with just over a full period left to go. We'll see if he can dial it in

The video I believe Dave Starman was talking about.


I was at the home game Bill Armstrong did The Michigan. Starman kind of got some details mixed up in his anecdote. The OSB goals came after Mike Legg's goal, but he had originally learned it from Armstrong.

I’m never gonna get there to buy the hat, but I will officially refer to Isaac Howard as “The Iceman” going forward

What a f***ing goal he just scored… So looking forward to this kid.

As long as he doesn’t end up in some sort of trade puzzle piece
