2026 Winter Olympics (Milan - Cortina, Feb 6-20)

Heh. We need a whole hell of a lot more than women's hockey winning a tournament.

Truth brother. Got to start somewhere though. Might as well let the women lead the way

5-0 Americans at the end of 2. Sounds like they have worn down Slovakia’s AHL goalie.

He was benched after US made it 4-0 with two goals in 19 seconds. I haven't seen much hockey but I've never seen a goalie get benched.

I have, it's rare but it does happen. I think Slovakia pulled him out of desperation and had to try the other goalie to shake it up. Glad the US put on a show today, that was really fun to watch.

Despite missing a few games with the norovirus, Braendli graded out as the #2 goalie in the tournament. Imagine if she had the US team playing in front of her.

Here are the scoring stats for all the Buckeyes.

Bilka (USA) 4 goals-3 assists-7 points (5th overall)
Svennson (Sweden) 1-6-7 (10th overall) (#member of current Buckeye team)
Dunne (USA) 2-3-5 (18th) (#)
Raunio (SWE) 0-4-4 (32nd) (#)
Jacques (CAN) 0-3-3 46th
Jungaker (SWE) 0-2-2 (51st) (#)
Vanhanen (FINLAND) 1-1-2 (53rd) (#)
Maltais (CAN) 0-2-2 68th
Barnes (USA) 1-0-0 (88th)
Gardiner (CAN) 1-0-0 (88th)
Spooner (CAN) 1-0-0 (88th)

All the Buckeyes scored at least one point totaling 11 goals-23 assists-34 total points.

Dunne at 20 was the youngest player on the US team. We get her for next year too. After that, I think she's headed to legend status for team USA.

Badgers picked up 11 medals: 6 gold including the tournament mvp and 5 silver. I'm OK with it so long as they don't pick up the NC this year.

Also, this Norwegian XC skier Klaebo is fucking savage. He just stomped it at the end of the 20K skiathlon yesterday like a Tour de France winner breaking the field at the top of a mountain stage.

This post aged well. Dude’s a cyborg.

Personally, would prefer more biathalon, and far less curling....and am old enough to believe that skiing is done with two boards.

What a hockey game!

Worth getting up early on a Sunday without a doubt.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Oh Jesus, around the world ricochet to go back ahead comes out. Fucks sake!

 

[Bestbuck36]

Hells Bells standing on his fucking head right now! Come on boys turn the tide!

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

I would say I'm not sure why the US game plan is so reliant on blind ass backward flips into the zone....but they just showed the coach, so I get it.

 

[Bestbuck36]

4 minute PP, come on boys!

 

[Bestbuck36]

Fuck me. Give it right back.
