I am hoping for a US - Canada match for the men's hockey final at the Olympics. The starting goalie for the US team Connor Hellebuyck played 2 yrs for #UMass Lowell & Cale Makar (a Ukrainian Canadian) played on the @umassamherst.bsky.social hockey team for 2 yrs and is on the Canadian Olympic team.

The Olympic journey ended too soon

Mika Zibanejad's late equalizer gave hope for a miracle in Milan. But the USA prevailed in overtime. Thus the Olympic journey is over for Tre Kronor. Bitter.

Just to be absolutely clear. Czechia's 3rd goal against Canada was scored illegally with 6 players on the ice. It should never have been counted. The refs should be sanctioned. There were even 6 of them hugging it out on the ice after. So is this the "hate Canada" Olympics?? 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Winter Olympics: USA and Canada narrowly avoid shocks in men’s ice-hockey quarter-finals

Americans rely on Quinn Hughes’s OT winner Mitch Marner seals Canada’s 4-3 overtime win Canadians lose star Sidney Crosby to injury With NHL players returning to the Winter Olympics for the first time since 2014, these Games were expected to be a relative stroll for Canada and USA. However, both star-packed teams struggled in Wednesday’s men’s ice hockey quarter-finals. Quinn Hughes scored in overtime to put the US past Sweden 2-1 after giving up the tying goal to Mika Zibanejad with 91 seconds left in the third period. Dylan Larkin deflected Jack Hughes’ shot in for the only US goal in regulation. Continue reading. . .

Sweden eliminated from Olympic hockey after dramatic finish

The Swedish men could not pull off an upset against the USA. Despite a late equalizer and a crazy overtime drama, the USA won 2-1. Quinn Hughes ended Sweden's run in the Olympic tournament after 3:27 of sudden death. "You could say it's only hockey, but it's not. It's our life," says coach Sam Hallam to SVT.

Love the Olympics ice hockey rules for extra time — take off two players on both teams, first to score wins!
We should see that in football. Go down to 7-a-side and unleash the chaos!

Best game of the Olympic men's hockey so far by a mile. Exceptional goaltending at both ends. Amazing to see success coming from the somewhat lower profile players in this game! McJesus with two assists but others making the goals!

Canada wins! Mitch Marner has scored the game winner in three-on-three overtime against the Czechs. That was a close one, but Canada will now advance to the semifinals with the 4-3 win. www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

Respect to Czechia men’s hockey team. They are playing well and ahead by one. With Crosby down and out they must be confident now.
