Not one but two disallowed goals. US-Latvia still tied 1-1, 8 minutes left in 1st.

All positive except this little bit of negative news.

That was beauty team effort, scored by Bo Horvat. 3-0 Team Canada.

😡😱☠️

Nice pass by Marner to Stone for a 2-0 Canada lead six minutes into the 2nd. Team Canada looking pretty good so far, not sure how good Czechia is though.

Growing up and until recently in Canada hockey league divisions went up from novice-atom-pee wee - bantam - midget. Some of those names - especially midget - were considered derogatory so a few years ago switched to age classifiers like U9, U18. One small step for regular-sized man, one giant leap for short-limbed people. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/youth-hockey-name-categories-1.4924229 Midget a derogatory slur? Athletics Canada recently said it would pursue dropping the term "midget" as an age category descriptor, a move that came a few days after the Ontario Basketball Association stated its plans to do the same. The term has been used for decades in a variety of sports but many consider it to be a derogatory slur. Allan Redford, the director of the Dwarf Athletic Association of Canada, applauded the recent developments and hopes others may follow suit. "I'm actually wonderfully encouraged that they're taking this approach and that it's getting this much traction," Redford said Wednesday. "I'm very, very pleased."

Probably, but I know that Olson is DEFINITELY better than Charlie Morton. So a great what if is what if the Tigers had acquired JV not Morton at least year’s deadline. I get why they didn’t, JV looked done at the All Star break, but the division race and the playoff series were close enough to imagine JV possibly having made a difference.

Darn, just realized there was a watch party at Vancouver’s Italian Cultural Centre not too far from me, put on by the family of Petan. Could have been fun.

Now EP rings one off the post but it stays out.

EP just stopped on a shorthanded breakaway.

Damn, Sweden scored while I was hooked on ice dancing (yes, really).

Yeah, save JT for if and when they play Sweden so he can bark at Elias Petersson and make him crumble.

Sweden is now outshooting Italy 28-4 one minute into the 2nd period but the score is 2-2!

18-3 shots on goal for Sweden 12 minutes in. But still only 1-1.
