The Swamp

US unbeaten in the pool play (1 OT win and the rest in regulation). Quarters start on Tuesday. Sweeden tops the other group (ahead of Canada). Super smart by BC and Michigan to not schedule games in December because they would have been going deep on their benches as the US team is basically those 2 schools.

boy i miss watching these games. it would be nice if they made this easier to watch in the States.

NHLN has had games on constantly it seems.

My only real problem with YouTube TV is that they don’t have the NHL network.

Down goes Canada...Solid Czech'ing I guess.

My #1 complaint with YTTV as well.

Semifinals tomorrow
Sweeds v. Czech
Finland v. US

With no Russia and Canada out, will be a disappointment for the favored US to not bring home the gold and sing their locker room championship song (fun US National Team Tradition).

2026 in Minnesota.....we don't have any Golden Gopher, Vikings, Twins, Wild, etc. swamp folk do we?

Not unless Zaz reappears. (Gopher fan, iirc).

2-0 Finland about halfway through


I don't know how anyone uses these sketchy online streams for anything - if i'm fortunate enough to a) find a link to a game and b) get by the myriad awful popups - inevitably every stream will briefly hiccup every 30-45 seconds.

3-2 Us of A
Gauthier with a goal with just over 3 to play.
2 PP goals for the US.

Can Sweden finally get that elusive gold? They haven't won since Zibinejad scored the OT winner in 2012 in Calgary. They only have 2 golds total and 11 silvers

Yeah, the only "damn, I wish I had that channel" on YouTube TV is the NHL Network. And it's 99 percent because I can't watch the World Juniors.

I love that the IIHF uses promotion and relegation for their world championships/junior championships. Germany's golden goal sent Norway down.

This used to be best-of-3, they changed it this year.

The US is the greatest hockey nation in the history of the world, baby.

Rangers prospects with the very common hockey term "hat trick of combined points" today.

OH YEAH WE'RE THE FUCKIN' PRINCES OF HOCKEY BABY EAT SHIT SWEDEN WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

You mess with the terrier, you get the horns. Or something like that. Farts probably.

I actually made an outloud noise on that whiffed overhand right. Close call for the lil' guy.

Lane Hutson. Pretty pugnacious to go after a guy seven inches taller.
