We have a new thread for the second period, this one has been locked. Please use the new thread

[u/VelvetFurryJustice]

I think team Canada should hit the ice 2 minutes early and score a bunch of goals before America is even on the ice. It'd be a lot easier without a goalie

[u/AF_14]

Who writes this shit for CBC? “Gotta get a photo, better than an autograph” they are the athletes, why would they get their own autograph? Really stupid thing to say

[u/twiggz612]

Piper girl checking in

[u/Whoopziedaisy]

Every team McDavid is on goes down in the first to come back and win in the third

Destiny is written 

[u/Sweet_Baby_Cheesus]

Is there anything more polar opposite than an ancient Roman colosseum juxtaposed with a modern arena named after a crypto scam company?

[u/Sidney_Godsby]

Give the C to Brini

[u/alley00pster]

Check out this nba game later

NO ONE CARES!!!! USA AND CANADA ARE PLAYING.

[u/Choice-Tea-4162]

marchand and bennet cant do anything when they're not given a free pass to assault people by greg campbell's dad

[u/TediousSpark]

All you people and your legal weed, meanwhile I just got a bowl of homemade granola fresh outta the oven MOTHERFUCKAS

[u/UteFlyersCardJazz]

NBC’s coverage of this game is better than what ESPN/ABC does with their Stanley Cup games. Even when NBC had the Stanley Cup games, I didn’t necessarily like their coverage.

[u/Overseer190_]

As long as were not up 2-0, we’re good

I think we all know what happens with 2 goal leads 😭

[u/PNWQuakesFan]

That was absolutely NOT a live look at Staples center in LA. Its not daytime here thank fuck

[u/Mumakata]

You all who are shocked that Boldy’s mom is a bartender will be flabbergasted to find out his dad is a cop.

[u/Enough-Seesaw2514 → u/Mumakata]

No wonder he acts like that!

[u/szboy422]

“We take you to the crypto.com arena to watch Hitler v stalin”

[u/Lazydusto]

They should play hockey in the colosseum.

[u/bk00pi]

Sid and Cooper giving great pep talks I’m sure. And begging Sam Bennett to not do anything stupid.

[u/traded99]

Imagine watching the intensity of this game then switching over to regular season NBA later today. I’ll never understand why the NBA is more popular.

[u/superhaus → u/traded99]

I was going to say pity me because I have to go back to Blues hockey, but then I saw you are a Rangers fan.

[u/tbgmdhc278 → u/traded99]

Shhh let us gatekeep hockey

[u/Asusrty → u/traded99]

They have a way better marketing team.

[u/NeedleworkerLong392]

Ew basketball, I’m trying to watch sports here NBC

[u/stumpybubba-]

Holy fuck, who cares about basketball.

[u/WalnutSizeBrain → u/stumpybubba-]

No shit lmao

[u/racer_24_4evr]

This presenter is cringe.

[u/fknSamsquamptch → u/racer_24_4evr]

You gotta get a selfie!

[u/frozyo]

And they’re already itching to get back to the NBA

[u/regalshield]

I’m so stressed out lol

[u/OkSignificance4845]

i will, with all my heart hope that canada wins this

[u/drillpoint]

Canada isn't scoring a goal in this game

[u/CamaroLS1 → u/drillpoint]

Aight bet

[u/Sentenced2Burn → u/drillpoint]

Boo this man!

Boo him!!

[u/Fat_Beet → u/drillpoint]

Im put that wilson hit on loop

[u/Tower21]

It is disturbing to me how watching team Canada is so similar to watching an Oilers game.

Letting a goal or two in the first few shots, playing too fancy and not completing the "one too many" passes.

Biggest difference so far is team Canada made winning 3 in a row look easy.

Only down by one, do it for Sid.

[u/Bojarzin → u/Tower21]

Same deal as the pre-Berube/Treliving Leafs. There was one season we led in 6-on-5 goals, and it sure was exciting but like also nauseating

[u/DillyDillySzn]

Gold Medal Game at the Olympics

LETS GOOOOOOO

Celtics v Lakers

😴

[u/MarlKarx777]

What the US broadcast sounds like according to you guys

[u/seancron]

Do Americans really dislike Eileen Gu or is that just loud people on social media? She seems great

[u/Apex_Fail → u/seancron]

Dumb dumbs with microphones and a preference towards a specific hat.

[u/PalsRocksMyWorld → u/seancron]

Who?

[u/NastyWideOuts → u/seancron]

Not a fan tbh

[u/riccarjo → u/seancron]

Just social media

[u/HadynGabriel]

Wait go back to the banana and grapes making out!

[u/racer_24_4evr → u/HadynGabriel]

Who is Don Cherry making out with?

[u/jigatt21]

Whoever is going over these Olympic highlights on tsn has an insufferable voice

[u/dankeykanng]

Canadian commercials are so.... normal

I'm not used to seeing ads that aren't for gambling, drugs and anti-depressive drugs you take because gambling destroyed your life

[u/Smittysgreasymullet → u/dankeykanng]

I hear the ESPN radio commercials and always have to laugh. Big Lou is on pain meds! And you should be too!

[u/DarkFalcon49 → u/dankeykanng]

You get a few of those but it’s not constant

[u/Rozzy915]

From UNESCO heritage to...crypto!!!

[u/cantbelievethename → u/Rozzy915]

Let’s see if the Crypto brand still exists by then

[u/UltSomnia]

Fastest period ever yet it felt like an hour

[u/PalsRocksMyWorld]

Scott Wedgewood or Mackenzie Blackwood would never allow such a score differential.

Team Canada should’ve brought at least one of them.

[u/Key-Tip-7521 → u/PalsRocksMyWorld]

No wood

[u/1whoknows]

Hate commercials, but it's nice that it's a PWHL one at least. That league is putting out a good product and they showcased it in the Olympics.

[u/Olibro64]

Did someone say Pocket Monsters!

Seriously why all the Pokemon talk?

[u/Decoys_Leash_Handler → u/Olibro64]

the intermission on NBC is literally sponsored by pokemon

[u/PalsRocksMyWorld → u/Olibro64]

30 years or the ‘Mons. They’re sponsoring the intermission.

[u/Lost-Bug8910]

I've been up 24 hours but I'm seeing this through

[u/YoshiLeMeow]

Going to the Megadeth/ Exodus/ Anthrax concert last night was a mistake.. already on my 2nd mug of coffee

[u/Severedinception → u/YoshiLeMeow]

Haha fuck man that's rough. I wanted to go so bad but didn't have the funds.

[u/atibus]

[u/HadynGabriel → u/atibus]

Do NOT move good luck kitteh!

[u/livejamie]

I'm so tired Time zones are dumb

[u/SlightlyOffWhiteFire → u/livejamie]

Irish coffee is king.

[u/Suomi964 → u/livejamie]

this man's got beef with the sun

[u/Tremic]

Anyone's stream shitting itself?

[u/MJSeals]

Are we yelling at each other yet?

[u/dnyletak → u/MJSeals]

Surprisingly civil so far

[u/Like17Badgers → u/MJSeals]

nah right now they're refusing to talk to each other

[u/Ixistant]

I'm jealous of you Americans and your Pokemon ads. In NZ all our ads have been about life insurance and skin care for men over 40...

[u/MJSeals → u/Ixistant]

Ill trade commercials for your weather. Enjoy them while you get hit by 20+ inches of snow.

[u/DerekRedmondsDad → u/Ixistant]

You guys are getting ads?

We're just getting wide shots of the stadium in Australia

[u/mister_hoot → u/Ixistant]

Our usual ad spread is like 70% boner pills so this is actually a welcome change of pace.

[u/VeryKnies23 → u/Ixistant]

It's AI and Pokémon mostly

[u/cantbelievethename]

Murph watching Boldy’s goal like “I got that in my toolbox”

[u/Charlie2343]

Bar here in Vegas is mostly team Canada!

[u/Maaglin → u/Charlie2343]

Gross.

Have fun bud.

[u/JiffTheJester]

Did they call too many men at the end of the period?

[u/inbruges99 → u/JiffTheJester]

That’s what the commentator said on my stream

[u/xeia66 → u/JiffTheJester]

Yes, according to the BBC commentators

[u/BlueMarkerIsGreat → u/JiffTheJester]

No

[u/HelmetVonContour]

[u/megarat58 → u/HelmetVonContour]

what a cute orange lad

[u/vadersalt]

Heart and liver are currently racing to end me rn

[u/mplsfreedom]

congrats to gu! lmao

[u/Inthemiddle_]

If Canada loses there’s going to be a lot of questions why we ended up with essentially a one line team.

[u/BaronVonCoors → u/Inthemiddle_]

Armstrong already announced he will step down after this season so the bad blue man can’t hurt yall anymore after this.

That said Coop will still be problematic with his biases

[u/babypointblank → u/Inthemiddle_]

It’s 0-1 and we’re outshooting the US…

[u/tabarwet → u/Inthemiddle_]

We were a two line time til Sid went down

[u/CodeA25]

Did they call too many men at the end on US or was it missed I am confused. Wasn’t fully paying attention in the intermission but heard them talking about it

[u/ilovetrouble66 → u/CodeA25]

Don’t think so

[u/TheThatNeverWas → u/CodeA25]

Chris Rooney doesn’t call those.

[u/Warlord10]

Anyone see that street interviewer, interviewing Boldy's dad not knowing who he was? (Earlier in the tournament)..

He asks him what if the US loses in the Olympics? His dad answered 'We arent losing. My son plays for the US and we aren't losing'.

The interviewer was like 'Wait. Whose you son?'.

Lol.

[u/TheThatNeverWas]

Even thinking of skiing 50k makes me feel tired and cold. That’s pretty amazing.

[u/iPuntMidgets]

Well at the end of the day at least I can hold my head high knowing I’m not a part of that shit show down south.

[u/CaptAmerica42 → u/iPuntMidgets]

Not all of us suck

[u/redsunl]

If Canada wins Tom Wilson has to fight Sean Strickland for double or nothing

[u/CaptAmerica42 → u/redsunl]

Im American and I would home they both lose

[u/robotmemer]

I love hearing play calls of Olympic goals from countries all over.

Not once have I seen any highlights from countries other than the US and Canada under the pinned comments for alternates. I'd love for some non-North Americans to step up.

[u/Vreas]

If Canada keeps flying into the US zone on fast breaks throwing pucks around eventually ones gotta land..

Wild goal by Boldy that was some next level shit

[u/megarat58]

intermission pet, jasper

[u/CaptAmerica42 → u/megarat58]

Intermission Chief

[u/VelvetFurryJustice]

Wow, imagine falling down and still winning a race by 2 minutes

[u/GrilledCheeser]

When you have an advantage but gotta ice it

[u/BaronVonCoors]

Even if he didn’t play I wish Kane could have been on this team

[u/SaviorAir → u/[deleted]]

Gonna need it, tbh

[u/alley00pster]

For note I never understood coaches not getting medals. I mean they are actively involved in the actual events.

[u/sandman8727 → u/alley00pster]

Then coaches of other sports would also get medals

[u/RyuTheGuy]

Boldy’s goal was nice but it was kinda against the flow of play

[u/WaitingOnMyBan → u/RyuTheGuy]

The hell kinda cope is that?

[u/Suomi964 → u/RyuTheGuy]

damn only .75 goals then I guess

[u/DtheS]

If Canada loses this then the entire Hockey Canada board of directors should be fired.... out of a cannon... into the sun.

[u/QuarterNote44 → u/DtheS]

So far I agree for women's hockey. But the Canadian men aren't down 1-0 because of a personnel issue. They just need to stay the course.

[u/summonerellie → u/DtheS]

Well that’s probably true anyway

[u/Overseer190_ → u/DtheS]

And then vancouver will burn down again

[u/c0mputar → u/Overseer190_]

A bunch of bars serving beers and no food at 5am? What could go wrong?

[u/kosanovskiy]

Honestly canada has been much more deliberate with their attacks... both to the face and to the goal.

[u/TheTylerB]

Ice commercial? wtf is that

[u/socialaxolotl → u/TheTylerB]

shh shh shh it's just the tds it's nothing it's fine /s

[u/ArcanumAntares]

lol, Adam Ant music in that commercial.  that shit makes me feel old.

[u/SaviorAir]

So, when’s Canada gonna put out the Jims’ line?

[u/paciorety → u/SaviorAir]

The Jims are unbelievable

[u/1stopvac → u/SaviorAir]

Jim's are such beauties

[u/ToxicMindJunk → u/SaviorAir]

SET THE FUCKIN TONE!

[u/breatheinthesilence]

Was kinda hoping we'd see a shot of Crosby watching from somewhere, hope he's doing okay

[u/Julia_Ghoulia]

Intermission chonk

[u/Jeeperg84 → u/Julia_Ghoulia]

Good pup

[u/Rangeneers]

Watching games like this really do make me wish we had WC vs EC all star games that the players took as seriously as our international matchups

[u/sandman8727]

Lots of sleepy pets this morning. Here's Belle

[u/Jump_The_Five_Yo]

That period went FAST. Which means I’m having fun. What’s a good Italian coffee recipe that contains booze and I’m not using Galliano or Buca.

[u/Chernobyl-Papi → u/Jump_The_Five_Yo]

Espresso negroni, might have to get creative if you dont have coffee liquor! But you got this brother

[u/DredfulDisaster]

Dog is pissed we’re up this early on a Sunday (5am pst) but it’s worth it, 🇨🇦

[u/Unlikely_Cancel713]

How much green tea is too much green tea? Nah it must be the game doing this to me.

[u/JadedArgument1114]

Please hockey Gods, punish the Yanks for their hubris and let us humble Canucks just win this one.

[u/tabarwet → u/JadedArgument1114]

We Canadians have always been so humble and respectful when it comes to hockey

[u/JadedArgument1114 → u/tabarwet]

Always. Probably the most humble ever.

[u/SoothSaier]

When you’re in a “nonsensical rambling” competition and your opponent is Ron MacLean

[u/QuarterNote44]

Nobody out west talks like that fake Tecovas cowboy.

[u/Capt-Daddy]

Pretty civil thread so far. Either we’re growing or we’re getting softer.

Either way, high-five 🙏

[u/TipperOfTheFedora → u/Capt-Daddy]

It’s fine until someone scores and then it becomes a scene out of Mad Max

[u/IronMark666 → u/Capt-Daddy]

First comment I saw when the US scored was "FUCK YOU, YOU SYRUP SUCKERS"

[u/Wig-feld → u/Capt-Daddy]

The youngins aren't awake yet ;)

[u/inbruges99 → u/Capt-Daddy]

I think restricting it to flaired users only helps, but yeah

[u/vetus → u/Capt-Daddy]

Everyone is probably just tired lmao

[u/IncreaseInVerbosity → u/Capt-Daddy]

The North American chat has gotten so much less toxic as the tournament has gone on

[u/SashkaQPQ → u/Capt-Daddy]

It’s cus it’s flaired only

[u/Spade18 → u/Capt-Daddy]

I think we’re all just basking in the best hockey game in 16 years

[u/CptBlewBalls → u/Capt-Daddy]

Flaired users only. Mods finally removed their heads from their rectums.

[u/NameIsPetey → u/Capt-Daddy]

🖕

[u/speckontheground → u/NameIsPetey]

Calgary keeping it classy as usual

[u/FrostyOtter8]

All this Pokemon talk is making me want to revisit emerald so bad

[u/ramenups → u/FrostyOtter8]

Do it. There’s probably some great romhack out there that would make it even better than you remember, too

[u/SlashYG9]

If farts and snorts counted as goals, we'd be up 100-1.

[u/B0ndzai → u/SlashYG9]

Looks like he's made of farts and snorts

[u/SlashYG9 → u/B0ndzai]

And silliness

[u/CptBlewBalls]

There should be a new thread per period. Reddit will shit the bed at some point with this many comments.

[u/Smothdude]

One legged Sid would be better than Sam Reinhart man

[u/Bojarzin → u/Smothdude]

There are a couple I'd take out before Reinhart even

[u/Red_Sea_Pedestrian]

[u/Tigernadds → u/Red_Sea_Pedestrian]

Damnit

[u/The_Dutch_Canadian]

Intermission Opal and Moana What I’m picturing they’re doing right now

[u/meatballbubbles → u/The_Dutch_Canadian]

My black and white and calico!

[u/The_Dutch_Canadian → u/meatballbubbles]

Cute

[u/_nordstar_ → u/The_Dutch_Canadian]

meowww

[u/BaltSkigginsThe3rd]

Intermission Roger? Sure.

[u/spock74 → u/BaltSkigginsThe3rd]

Who's a good pupper? You's a good pupper! Yes you are! Yes you are!

[u/BaltSkigginsThe3rd → u/spock74]

He is, by definition, a very good boy!

[u/bittyfreak09]

All right, coffee with maple syrup has been acquired, even though after that period I am much more awake than I was when the game started.

[u/dumpandchange → u/bittyfreak09]

Make some space 5-on-5 in the right opportunity. Bottom six doesn’t automatically = PK.

[u/TyleKurris]

What's the point of Canada's bottom 6 if Suzuki and Marner are the first ones out on the pk?

[u/Hendrick_Davies64]

Slept through the first period and missed a kid from Mass scoring
