OT: Beijing 2022 Olympics: Games on

[Runner77]

Poulin was like 70% she dominated.

OK, get her for face-off clinics lol.

It was funny hearing the CBC PxP guy say at one point that if the Americans weren’t careful after taking out their goalie, they “could risk a too many men penalty.”

 

[MarkovsKnee]

MPP damn near scored on that faceoff. Smart Move.

Yeah, she shot it.

 

[expy]

Team Canada put on a clinic for the first two periods. The third was pretty brutal, but probably were completely worn out.

 

[expy]

Desbiens had to deal with a team full of Kreiders tonight.

 

[Runner77]

Bang on Sarah Fillier, “hockey is Canada’s game”.

 

[expy]

Nurse was great tonight too. Probably the other standout with Desbiens and Poulin.

Need to consider how they had a 2 goal lead and the Americans are obviously not going to just sit back. It's very often the case in pro sports. On tight make/break games, the trailing team tends to have a lot of momentum towards the end as they're on full attack mode and the defending team tries to play a lot more carefully. It's just normal.

Gonna watch till the flag goes up and out anthem is played.

Poulin scored both goals during Team Canada's 2–0 win in the gold medal game against the United States at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
For the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Poulin scored the game-tying and game-winning goals in Team Canada's 3–2 overtime win in the gold medal game against the United States. The first goal came with 54.6 seconds left in regulation, the latter on a 4-on-3 power play at 8:10 of overtime.
At the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship Poulin scored the golden goal in overtime, earning Team Canada the gold medal over the United States for the first time since 2012.

Aaaaand 2 goals in a 3-2 win with the game winner for her THIRD GOLD Medal baby woo!
Goat.

Did the third goalie dress just for this ? Haha awesome.

 

[Rapala]

Better pitch than the men ever had.

 

[Whitesnake]

Was there like no handshake at all with the US? lol

 

[Runner77]

Gonna watch till the flag goes up and out anthem is played.

I did just that. I haven’t watched much of these games but this, I had to see it through the end.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

I got goosebumps when the girls were singing the national anthem.

Marielle Thompson just won a silver in Ski Cross. She made a pass near the end of the race.

 

[Runner77]

Now official!



Was under review until now and the only change is the bronze medal winner.

A Covid Protocol.

When did Olympic hockey go to NHL size ice surface and why?

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

PJ Stock… man I’m glad we don’t have to listen to him anymore.

 

[Naslundforever]

Watched half the gold metal women’s hockey game last night. Some amazing skaters. I was really taken back by the speed and agility but mostly how there was so little room on the ice at such a speed. Great cohesion and puck support. Been watching the habs too long lol.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

When did Olympic hockey go to NHL size ice surface and why?

This is the first time. IIHF never really gave a reason for it. They just wanted to do it.

Europe and International play are moving towards smaller ice surface dimensions. It's been widely recognized as creating more exciting gameplay.
