It sucks that Sweden and the USA have to face each other in the quarterfinals because Sweden won a game by 2 goals instead of 3. Two powerhouse teams facing off in the quarters…

I think in part it’s due to how many games are scheduled on the rinks. They can’t really afford to have games running an hour+ past schedule. The Olympics uses IIHF rules and they’ve been using a 3-on-3 OT format since 2019 (before that it was 4-on-4 followed by a shootout). The 3v3 OT was used at the 2022 Winter Olympics already. The IIHF likes exciting hockey and prompt finishes to games. lol At least the gold medal game doesn’t use a shootout at all. It’s still 3v3 but it’s still better than a shootout. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the bronze medal game eliminate the shootout by the next Winter Olympics. But I will say, as much as I hate the shootout deciding any Olympic game, I’ll never forget TJ Oshie’s 2014 Sochi Olympic shootout performance against Russia - seeing him just sent out over and over and over again.

Wow. What an upset it would be if Canada lost. Down a goal with 5 minutes to go. edit - all tied up with 3 and change left.

They just announced he is officially out for the remainder of the game.

BringBackFergy’s attempt at a troll thread: 😂

Exactly. I don’t understand the people complaining about this. Dude has a ton of experience, and he’s had success in the NFL. He’s a very good get for the role he will have. He’s not even the assistant head coach. He’s a “senior assistant coach”. How much better were people expecting for that role? You’re not getting a former head coach with a flawless record otherwise he’d probably still be a current head coach.

'He wants to win the whole damn thing:' Inside the Buffalo Bills' decision to hire Joe Brady as HC https://www.golongtd.com/p/he-wants-to-win-the-whole-damn-thing Ty Dunne made another article free on his site. Definitely a good read. I’ve really enjoyed getting to read some of his work. I think this is the 5th or 6th Bills related article he’s made free. He is doing some of the most in depth behind the scenes reporting on the Bills that I’ve found. I’m actually thinking of subscribing to his substack.

I don’t know why they always seem to struggle against the penguins but it sure is aggravating. It’s been that way for like a decade + now. Disappointing way to enter the break. They could’ve been sitting in 2nd in the Atlantic. Now they are in wild card #1. I was worried about the Olympic break messing with their momentum but now that they’ve lost 3 of the last 4 games I think it’s coming at the perfect time. I think they need the time off. It’ll give a bunch of guys a chance to hopefully get healthy and refresh themselves mentally. We really need a healthy Benson and Norris for the last stretch of the regular season. UPL and Kesselring too. It would be great to get Timmons back as well but it’s not sounding like he’s going to be ready yet right after the break. Jarmo may need to trade for a defenseman. They are going to have to close out the season strong. The playoffs are by no means a lock yet. They have 2 teams nipping at their heels that keep on winning and all the teams currently in front of them keep on winning too. Right now they have a 5 point cushion for the last playoff spot but with one more game played so it could end up being a 3pt cushion. The east is looking like it’s going to be a crazy battle for the playoffs. Every team from wild card #2 up to 2nd place is only separated by 2-3 points, and with multiple teams only 3-5 points out of a playoff spot.

That one didn’t bother me as much as the game tying goal because I didn’t really have high hopes for Ellis vs Vasilevskiy in the shootout anyway. And Ellis letting in the only shot he faced in OT, on a breakaway, confirmed it for me. lol I thought Ellis played a good game, but he’s definitely the #3 goalie for me. He came up with some big saves last night but he gets caught out of position a lot with the way he scrambles so often. He doesn’t give me a ton of confidence when I watch him play. Yeah it’s so much fun. I missed meaningful Sabres hockey so much. I’m even enjoying feeling nervous during games, as weird as that sounds.

Sucks to lose that second point when they were so damn close to getting the regulation win. But 3 out of 4 points on back to back away games against 2 really good Florida teams is still a win. Getting the 2 points in regulation against the panthers last night was more meaningful in the playoff race anyway. Now hopefully they can get a win on Thursday and head into the Olympic break in great shape in the standings.

the raiders offense made a jump when he took over too. They went from averaging 15.8 pts a game to 22.9 pts a game. https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nfl/titans/2024/05/15/bo-hardegree-tennessee-titans-will-levis-quarterback-coach-vols-football/73561769007/ Also:

Beane told Jay Skurski the story, so it did actually come directly from him.
