loving the case-by-case reactions

coach sullivan - kinda boo-y
jack hughes - ehn, we got nothing against him
boston matthews - **** that guy
charlie mcavoy - mixed, kind of positive (???)
conner hollerback - yay, plays in canada (nobody but saskatchewan seems to care enough about winnipeg to hate them)

montreal not even really booing this ****, pathetic. qbec is maga now i guess, pack it up

had more offers out there that i hoped got booked but didn't

as far as i'm concerned, canada and usa are way too big of favorites in these games - all 4 teams are absolutely stacked and it's going to be a variance fest probably decided by goaltending imo ie canada was a massive fave vs sweden but it was a really close one that went to sudden death

Was gonna say the Finnish D looks anything but stacked compared to the US, but then Jokiharju scored with Määttä driving the net so I guess I'm an idiot

Eh, less than Canadians.

There's established WC IIHF tournament that's a big deal. Ofc Olympics as well are important. This is seen more of a sideshow.

Maybe it could be bigger in the future but a couple of games in middle of the night from not established tournament format doesn't attract big crowds.

Nope. That game means nothing. This means a lot to the players playing for their countries. Defense is being played. So, nope.

USA Canada Saturday is going to be filthy.

I think the USA goaltending is such a big edge though...

Tbh with the announcement that NHL and PA will try to establish a Olympics-WC cycle each every four years with legit qualifying, I'll have to hand it to them a little bit. Depends on the PA staying strong though because imo the most likely outcome is that the league will try to pull the rug on the Olympics after going twice at most or at least demand some ridiculous CBA concessions from the players to continue.

Ugh yes this is me tonight. Have a meeting right smack in the middle of it for 1.5 hours. Going to try to go dark but wouldn't be surprised if people at the meeting are talking about it or its possibly even on some small obscure tv in background with no sound.

Ideally can not find out and watch it on replay when I get home. It will be tough.
