Anyone else getting confused every time they say the Slovakian goalie is Hlavaj and not Hlavac or Halak?

Sad, sad state of affairs in Rangerstown.

AHL President/CEO Scott Howson to Inside AHL Hockey re: AHL-Bridgeport and the long known rumors the franchise might be relocating to Hamilton as soon as next season, and what hurdles (& deadlines) have yet to be cleared.

Such a vital and underrated point. We're so used to the visual pollution of how hockey is presented by the NHL that we've become somewhat immune to even noticing it. How the Olympic hockey product looks makes it so, so much more appealing for viewers.

This could be pretty cool, or a total disaster

Love how tough Kakko is when he knows he can't be punched in the face. Different player than the one in the NHL.

Interesting (to me at least): Team Italy's Fadani plays for Kloten in Switzerland, where he shares the crease with 21yo Ewan Huet ... famous French netminder Cristobal's son. And, somewhat oddly, Ewan plays internationally for Switzerland, not France.

Ranger fans are the best, around the world.

He’s 33, has been a pro since 2013 and has won a Masters (in 2021) and another 10 PGA events. Young Guns.

Canada’s offense is unfair.

I love how Anson Carter is talking like he is an expert on Swiss hockey because he played 15 games there 18 years ago.

LAT-VEE-JA! LAT-VEE-JA! LAT-VEE-JA!

Poor Italy.

Olympic Hockey: - the games start on time - no animated fake ads on the boards - no ads superimposed on the ice or glass - no gambling ads shoved in your face - no live betting odds - no broadcast sponsored parlays - no ads on jerseys or helmets fix your game NHL

A Mike Sullivan team giving up a goal right away? Why, I never!

Glad to see Mike Sullivan is just as inept for America as he is for the Rangers.

One of the best things I've noticed about these Olympic hockey broadcasts is that we never see the pbp or analysts. They still do their job - pretty well, I must say - but we get to see more of the players, the fans and the arena. Delightful.

The one last power punch when he was down really sends a message, eh Luch?

I love Tyson Fury. Delighted he's coming back, again. "What better thing can a man do then punch another man's face in and get paid a lot money to do it? It's like a dream job!"

This place has damned good perogies, too.
