No surprise about the drop of the aggravated assault criminal charge against McKenna.

[djstyles]

So likely no prison time for him but now he has to contend with potentially playing for the Canucks

So, a prison sentence still

[teggy604]

Well. Did anybody watch the interview with Teddy? Another guy calling the leadership out, and also saying there is a culture problem.

So you got Foote and Teddy now.... I mean most of us can tell you there was issues many years ago.

[spoon.ek9]

Yep, it's still a problem because no one has stepped up to be that kind of leader.

Anyways, I don't know how any of us can possibly watch Olympic hockey with games starting at 3am

Highlights it is...

EP40 is the highest paid player on Team Sweden

[teggy604]

I thought they brought EP40 in just to block shots and kill penalties? lol

[MarkyMark]

Wasn't Petey some 4th line plug for team Sweden at the 4 Nations? Doubt that's gonna change much here

[bobbinka]

Sweden practice lines, with the bottom 6 having a rotating 4th player

William Nylander–Joel Eriksson Ek–Adrian Kempe

He was 6 kilos lighter last time. It'll be different this time.

I don't suppose these to last, but my god. I can see it, teams gonna triple team McJesus. Cellibrini gonna have some room to skate. and maybe the most he's ever going to see in his entire career.

This tournament is going to be good. A bad goalie completely wired in is great goalie and can steal games. Lets go CANADA

Jim Robson passed away, RIP

Happy to see Horvat is doing well after getting traded, 1 goal in todays opener

[pastarocket]

Celebrini scoring his first Olympic goal for Canada.

The Celebrini, McDavid, and Wilson top line is showing good chemistry.

All 5 goals showcased the team's overall talent, but that pass from Marner to Stone for the second goal was unreal...

[EvoFire]

Happy to see Horvat score.

[spoon.ek9]

Gotta give binner credit for the shutout too. Hopefully he keeps it up.

Went to school with his daughter. I met him at a Christmas get together at his home. What a great person. So down to earth and friendly. Always Had a smile.

RIP, Namo Amida Butsu.

All of the goals in today's Canada vs Switzerland game:

YouTube

The McDavid, MacKinnon, Celibrini line should be illegal!

[spoon.ek9]

It's a shame we couldn't keep the shutout streak going but it was a good win nonetheless!

[Gumby]

Although Denmark ended up losing 6-3, they were leading the US 2-1 at one point in today’s game. It would’ve been epic if the US lost, given all that talk about Greenland.

[spoon.ek9]

I watched those highlights, they played a good game despite the loss

[Tim Budong]

People tend to forget that Denmark beat Canada 2-1 at the IIHF Worlds last year.

That canadian team had Crosby, Mackinnon and Celebrini on it

[Gumby]

Highlights from today's Canada-France game:

YouTube

Wilson with the Gordie Howe hat trick... in the Olympics!

YouTube

Hope MacKinnon is ok after an awkward hit.

Celibrini is something else...
