Blizzard in NYC so they flew back to NHL before the bad weather.

Damn, bunch of unhappy Canadians. After Cup Finals loss they don’t make them take a runner-up trophy
I’m no hockey historian but was that the best hockey game of all time? Like, has there ever been a game played at a higher level? That just seemed insane.

It’s certainly debatable.
Miracle on Ice. It was like a high school team beating an NHL team.

Yeah the Vancouver game was better just because it didn’t have lame 3on3. Otherwise they were about the same, both legendary games.
It did have 4x4 so yes, marginally better than 2026 haha.

yeah I’m sure 1980 was “better” from the story perspective (unless you are russian ldo), just talking about purely the speed/skill level.
Cool. Now we can go back to ignoring hockey for four years like most people do with soccer.

why are the USA bobsled onesies Under Armor instead of nike? I get that each sport has it’s own committees and organizations and whatever but I would have guessed Nike would specify in their “official sponsor” contract that everyone wears their shit while competing or something.
obvious follow-up question: are bobsledders maga-coded?
just to be clear I don’t seriously think they are just because they’re wearing UA, it’s just the first thing that popped into my terminally online brane

I like the speedometer they’ve added. I don’t think I ever realized that bobsledded are going 80+ mph or speed skaters 35 mph, etc.

canada got this far bc of this rule, arguably.
the nhl playoffs and that one cup between all the hockey countries suggests otherwise - this is the best major sport you can watch outside the dodgers winning the ws over and over
great for the game.
3on3 is more of a variance fest which is great for the underdogs. With 5on5 Canada’d just keep grinding you down with their superior squad and creating most of the chances. They’d definitely choose the latter.
