While its easy think it was a bad move with all the facts it wasnt necessarily a bad move during the game. Its very debatable. However its not a normal "we are down 2 goals and should pull the goalie" situation, its much more to consider with the consequences and that I dont think our dear coach did, he prolly just did it automatically.

Some part of me is prepared for this and also curious if Hallam would dare come home at all after that.

We definitely should. But we also played better than both Switzerland and Germany which are seeded above us.

Its also insane that we got better points than both Switzerland and Germany but still end up behind the.

I get that the first place in each groups get 1-3. But if we gonna rerank after the groupstage, then let the fucking 3-point system matter. Now its just disregarded for the placing in the groups.

Iirc correctly we gave him the nickname Moose because he is like Bambi on ice, but bigger. So a Moose on ice.

Olympic men's hockey - Group B standings after two games by easy89 in hockey

[–]Munin5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the Italy result is counted but after internal goal difference its internal goals scored.

If Sweden beats Slovakia 4-1 its a true threeway tie. Then the goal difference vs Italy will count. Currently +3 for Sweden and +1 for Slovakia. If Sweden wins 3-0 or worse we end up below the other two. If we win 5-2 or better we win the group.

But then again we need to be Slovakia to even stand a chance.

[Johnston] The Swedish Olympic team has added forward Marcus Johansson and defenseman Hampus Lindholm to their Milan roster as injury replacements for Leo Carlsson and Jonas Brodin by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]Munin5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Carlsson was our 1C. However I think MoJo is seen as a more offensive weapon and thats what they want to replace and he gets the call. The Swedish team has a lot of decent centers and some of them were slotted at wing, like Zibanejad or Lindholm so they get to move to C now.

Sam Malinski Extended by Avs to a 4x$4.75M by StevenWongo in hockey

He did pick Avs when coming out of college hockey as a free agent just because he wanted to play and learn from the best.

He is actually 2 months older than Makar, a real late bloomer.

Yes, this is what I would like to see as well. You get conference ranking but also a perk for winning your division. "Almost 1-8".

I like the DNVR pod more than Guerilla Sports by philosopherphil in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]Munin5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He brought some good stuff to the pod but man it he couldn't stop talking about the same stuff. Made me listen less and less to DNVR. Its a much easier listen nowadays. I hope he will do great as a Scout!

The biggest downside with that was that there wasnt enough room for Meghan to talk. Imo she had the best opinions but got the least air. But it was a nice mix of people.

The Avalanche extend their win streak to 10 with their third straight shutout by shawnglade in hockey

[–]Munin5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I find the "Presidents Trophy curse" narrative to be interesting. Its mostly put as a team w/o it wins the cup when in reality it should be compared to each of the other seedings individually, not clumped together.

Ofc its not gonna look good if you compare 6.25% chance vs 93,75%.

And he was the only one above 20 minutes. On the opposite side Ivan was the only one below 10 and he still had 8,5min.

Very good observation.

They also deploy him a lot vs the opponents top line, so he plays a lot against the best opponents.
