I know, lol, he has been picking 'em up and laying 'em down.

So did Jack Hughes back down the ice. Yes, Makar maybe took an unnecessary risk, but I'm fine with that gamble. If Makar wins the puck or at least gets Hughes' one-hander to bounce off his shinpads, McDavid would be in all open with the gold medal on his stick.

The Habs do it very well. First game back, pregame they bring out Quebecois medalists - usually speed skaters and freestyle skiers - for their moment in the sun. Then hockey gold medalists from the teams playing. It is Isles vs Habs this year so would have been Suzuki, Horvat and Schaefer.

Yep, as did Lucas Raymond. I didn’t really see a lot of Mo Seider’s games to know, but understand he played a lot of minutes.

How is it still only 9am?

And then drifted back. I can see why McDavid would stay back a bit, your forwards do that in 3 on 3 so they can be sprung after a save, but no excuse for Makar when he saw Jack Hughes alone.

In the past 10 days, a) a teenage dude in BC shot up a school killing eight, but police took pains to refer to him as “female” even when it was still an active shooter situation and then again in the press conference the next day; b) a Quebecois won a human rights judgement because the pull-down menu of the online booking system of a hair salon only had male or female as options not non-binary; and c) a local teachers union in suburban Vancouver took an 8-time elected school board trustee to a human rights tribunal for his Facebook posts about gender ideology and after a 9- year process (!) he was fined $750k. You can criticize your insurance provider. In Canada there are many things we can’t criticize our government about.

Probably all got locked from the outside in the sauna and are blaming refs for that.

Why are Cassie Campbell and Cheryl Pounder doing so much talking on this bloated 5-person CBC panel? Hard to listen to when it’s still only 830am my time. After it was made a big deal that Pounder and Campbell were part of an all-woman 3-person panel for the women’s tournament.

Needless to say Hellebuyck deserves the loudest of roars here.

I’m sure these little stuffed animals will be cherished forever by the Canadian players.

If you think Canadian healthcare has problems (true), wait until I tell you how horrible is Tim Horton’s.

McDavid and Makar seemed slow in coming back. It was a 1 on 3.

Close enough.

Only Quinn Hughes can beat us.

3 minutes tops.

As Mickey Redmond would say, this ain’t no place for a nervous person.

I wish the coaches would use the 15 minutes to agree to 4 on 4.

USA will be thrilled it has been reduced to a 3 on 3 sudden death.

Overtime. The nation holds its breath.

Smart of Canada to rag the puck there.
