What a finish to the US/Sweden game. USA prevails 2-1 in OT. Beautiful goal by Quinn Hughes. Love the 3on3 sudden death OT set up!! Exciting

Greasy game for Canada today. All credit to the Czechs, they played their asses off. Dostal was excellent in net for them and Pastrnak, Necas and Palat were great!

Losing Crosby to injury sucks. Hopefully it's not ling term.

Ugly win, but they got it done. 2 more points for McDavid. Bring on Finland. It'll be another war.
Guess im getting soft in my old age but hope Syd is ok. Made me feel even older reading about it and seeing hes 38 now..

What an awesome damn day of hockey! 3 tightly contestested games that all went to overtime, with the favourites eventually pulling it out in each. Legitimate nail biters. Hockey is absolutely exploding after the awesome 4 Nation's Cup, followed by the Olympic Championship.

Awesome for the sport that there are so many competitive teams right now!

Sick finishes by both Marner and Hughes to win their respective games. Elite shots from both of them. The Swedes have to be devastated. To lose Victor Hedman to a fluke injury in warm up and then play the Americans that tough, only to come up short is gutting. Great game to cap the day!

No idea why Trocheck and Miller are on this team.

Also I hope Crosby is okay, would be a huge buzzkill

The fact that Robertson was left off the roster still has me scratching my head
Jason Robertson and Cole Caufield being left off the American team when goal scoring from their forward group looks to be their biggest weakness, is every bit as baffling to me as Connor Bedard and Mathew Shaefer being left off team Canada when it's obvious we're short an ideal second line forward and a second puck moving defenseman.

Neither team brought it's best group in my estimation, as good as both teams currently are.

i like 3 on 3 for nhl regular season overtime’s,… but there’s a reason they don’t use it in the playoffs. I don’t like the idea of 3v3 deciding medals

Regular season 3 on 3 should last until someone scores. No ties

Agree to disagree… I have a good friend that was an NHL player from Austria that loved it when he was playing. It’s just a personal preference I suppose.
Please tell me it’s Michael Raffl

US men's curling fails to qualify for the semi-finals. US women playing now to qualify. Currently tied 1-1 to the 4th end. We have the hammer.

We just saw the curling version of the prevent defense. US women escape with the win.

Even their ladies cheat. One of their players distracts the referee while another's start cross checking our ladies, leading to their goal.

This evil must be stopped.
