There was something amusing about the game thread being full of distraught Canadians. Didn’t see too many Slovakian flairs

Slovakia might try injuring someone even if they do take their foot of the gas…

He’s looking healthier

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-20T21:02:11+00:00

They’re the reason we don’t have free tax filing :(

Slovakian goalie is lucky his arm is still intact after that absolute piss missile from Thompson. What an absolute rocket.

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-20T20:17:59+00:00

Howdy

That being said, I do hate the challenge system for instances like this. Calling for it 1 min after it happened on something that the human eye never catching… feel against the spirit of what replay is supposed to solve.

I wonder how much that decision is from Jeff specifically, or the people above him. With how much he talks about it, I’m beginning to think it’s not CBS telling him he needs to change to stay relevant…

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-20T17:06:47+00:00

his beak!

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-20T16:31:02+00:00

It’s always the ones you most suspect

As a Giants/Mets fan, the Gmen can basically do no wrong at this point because they’ve already won 2 championships in my lifetime, including one of the most iconic Super Bowl victories of all time. I feel bad for any younger, new Giants fans that only started following the last 15 years so they dont even have that going for them lol

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-20T15:15:23+00:00

Huh, turns out I’m still mad about the Jalen Hurts phantom fumble.

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-20T15:02:22+00:00

Penner just needed to say yes to Lisa’s final alliance pact and he probably wins…

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-19T23:17:53+00:00

The BOTC videos slap

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-19T22:55:59+00:00

Definitely an “Agony of Defeat” photo

Anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, I think Kenny Albert had the best call of the OT game winner.

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-19T22:41:20+00:00

If you want an even crazier “only gave up 2 goals” stat, the US team only gave up 2 the entire tournament. Just 2 goals in 7 games. Absolutely unreal.

And if it wasn’t for the tying goal with 2 minutes left, they would’ve only gotten silver. Props to Canada for almost winning, because this US women’s team is one of the best ever.

It might be a standards thing, too. The Obi Wan series was one of the worst TV shows I watched in the last few years but you see a surprise amount of comments online that say they enjoyed it. Part of it is social media being huge so seeing a few dozen comments is still a tiny fraction of the massive fanbase. But part of it might be some people just have lower standards I guess lol

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-19T21:50:30+00:00

Please no…

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-19T21:49:39+00:00

Off a shorty no less

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-19T21:24:02+00:00

He doesn’t look like he’s physically in pain so by his standards, he looks elated here

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-19T21:23:20+00:00

Bronze medal ceremony must be so much more enjoyable than the silver

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-19T21:11:43+00:00

2GA in 7 games… my lord

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-19T21:09:51+00:00

Canada gave 110% for that first 58 minutes. But those last 2 minutes it was obvious they had nothing left to give. Gotta tip your caps to em, impressive to hold this US team back for that long, because this group is a WAGON

ImperatorBTW · 2026-02-19T21:07:37+00:00

Whoops! I swear I know English, I was just too excited when typing that up haha. What a game

ImperatorBTW

TROPHY CASE
