bcblues Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Huge win, some nice saves by our goalie. Bye won. Hopefully Sanderson will be starting by then. Quote
Wilbur Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 I would have liked to see NHL players in a Team Canada vs. Team USA matchup being they were in the same group and it feels like we won't ever get a 1996 World Cup of Hockey type treat ever again.... 1 Quote

Hard to believe that was 26 years ago already but that was definitely a treat like you said Quote

Looks like China doesn't care, they just want to win. Quote Again, the IOC doesn’t have a problem with athletes having dual citizenship. The reason the issue has come to the forefront is because of China’s rule against it. The question is, whether they’re enforcing it. Jeremy Smith is a hockey player from Dearborn, Michigan, but is competing in the games for China. He told ESPN that one of the conditions to playing for China was that he would not renounce his U.S. citizenship. "They were like, 'Do not worry. We will not ask you. This is not what this whole process is about. It's about getting you qualified for the Olympics,' " he said. Smith also told Yahoo Sports, “When I'm in China, I'm a Chinese. I'm supported by the Chinese, and I'm truly thankful for that. And when I go to America, I'm American.” If you’ve been following the Eileen Gu story, that line of reasoning should be familiar. “I’m American when I’m in the U.S.,” Gu has stated on multiple occasions when asked about her citizenship, “and Chinese when I’m in China.” 2022 Olympics: Eileen Gu and the repercussions of renouncing U.S. citizenship (yahoo.com) Quote

cberkas Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Slovakia just playing trap hockey, these players should be used to it Quote

nodakvindy Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Pitiful power play was costly. Should have put that game away. Quote
Wilbur Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Can't get outnumbered 3-1 down low late in the game like that. OT it is. Playing not to lose the last 10 minutes other than the power play was a great way to give the Slovaks momentum. Quote
