Not a fan of shooutouts to decide important games. I mean at least do 3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4 if you want to make it more exciting.

I'm also not a fan of best out of one tournaments. Not just Olympic sports, but in general.
Maybe I'm too used to the NHL grind. But all it takes is one lucky bounce and it can break or make your moment.
Some people say it's more exciting cause everything comes down to that one game/moment, but meh, I feel like it's already done before my ass can even warm up the sofa.
Nothing beats a hard fought 7 game series with back and forth momentum swings.

I ain't even shocked at the result last night. Mind you, the Goalie for Canada played amazing. The swedes played amazing. Canada was meh throughout.
Mason McTavish was invisible.
Eric Staal looked slow
Owen Power.. my god, they give this kid so much to do and started the tournament alright, but did not come through at all.
When was the last time Claude Julien was behind an NHL bench?
..my god, that turnover was quite a spectaclar, and the rest of the team just disappeared after that. The player that did the drop pass looked very shaken up afterwards.

I’ve been trying to figure out why Owen Power is regarded so highly?
His career stats at all levels are not very impressive.

Congrats to Canadian Women for Gold. Did they go undefeated this whole Olympics? The future looks bright for some of these upcoming young players.

15 yo Russian figure skater at the center of doping scandal ... more evidence of the adult team around her as toxic. Joke that the team ROC is such because of Russian state sponsored doping scandal and here we are again. Scott Moir was quite blunt, calling Russian Olympic committee child abuse.
Kamila Valieva's coach criticized the 15-year-old skater right after she fell at the Olympics: 'Why did you stop fighting?'
Rather than offering the 15-year-old skating star some words of encouragement following her shocking flameout, Valieva's coach Eteri Tutberidze could muster only criticism.
"Why did you let it go?" Tutberidze was heard asking Valieva in Russian during the live broadcast of the women's figure-skating event.
"Why did you stop fighting? Explain it to me — why?" Tutberidze added as the teenager stepped off the ice. "You let it go after that axel. Why?"
