Gold medal game

Post by douche » Mon Feb 23, 2026 7:17 pm

Wondering why there isn't a thread regarding this.

Canada could not score on an open net (repeatedly), and then the savior McDavid wheels down the ice, turns the puck over and boom! Game over.

Nice work, McDavid. :lol:

Unfortunately the game was on at, what, 5 a.m. PST? Otherwise I would have liked to watch it.

Not digging the 3-on-3 format in OT in an Olympic final. They can go 5-on-5 or at the very least 4-on-4.

Yes, it was early.

I also think the 3-on-3 is a touch ridiculous but that's the way it is, and the players need to be mindful of that. Lots of ice, little room for error.

McDavid blew it, tried to be a hero with the puck and turned it over.

And now? It's all about Politics. I hate that everything has to be ruined by one side getting pissed off and feeling slighted by the other. It was stupid of the President to say what he did, but Jesus Christ. It didn't need to be this big of a deal.

I am SOOO very glad there isn't lasting proof of the dumb shit I did in the 80s and 90s. Just some disposable camera shots and some very foggy memories!

I don't know if you knew what I was alluding to, but we would have shit-talked the Soviets online into oblivion for losing to a bunch of teenagers at Lake Placid. Their government would have shut down the Internet and sent their players to the salt mines. :lol:

LOL, very true. But would half the Nation be pissed off at them for laughing when the President made a joke and blaming them? I've seen shit like winners and losers, blah fucking blah. Trump is a dumbass, and says dumbass shit all the fucking time. They laughed, bug fucking deal. So tired of everyone spending so much time looking for shit to be offended and "triggered" by. This Country should be ashamed of themselves for how pathetic they have become. The problem? It's a minority of the country, they are just the stupidest and loudest.
