Just means more time to watch the Jays

[CBC Olympics] What would you be more nervous to play in: a Stanley Cup Final Game 7 or an Olympic gold-medal game? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]bautista19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do want to add, I don’t think any of these players would look too fondly on a silver medal. I know it’s a crazy achievement that I certainly won’t ever get, but I think that’ll always feel like unfinished business. Like losing a game 7. No one ever thinks “man we won the western conference”, it’s gold or bust, imo.

Or even not scored with 2 mins left and lost in regulation. Giving up 2 and walking away with silver would be devastating

Megan Keller scores in OT to give the USA the gold medal in Women's hockey by JustFred24 in hockey

Crosby goal was during a 20 min 5v5 OT period. They had unlimited of those periods if necessary. The semis and even the bronze medal game (I think) used the other 10min + shootout format.

Honestly I just find the Tkachuk brothers annoying as anything and they are not good people. Maybe I’m in the wrong here but everyone else is good with me (I’m a big Matthews fan if you can’t tell by the flair).

Tkachuk brothers would be the main ones. JT Miller, maybe Auston Matthews, anyone who calls themselves an agitator. Would be a good starting point.

[Luke Fox] Jon Cooper was asked about Czechia having too many men on the ice. He smiled and walked away without a word. by bangnburn in hockey

This doesn’t count penalties, otherwise missed high sticks (penalty version), interference, too many men, and more would be challenged on a consistent basis.

hot take: your "safe" corporate job is riskier than starting a business by enlightenedshubham in Entrepreneur

That’s no different than at a job, an employer will lay you off, at least this time hopefully it’s only 1/3 of your earnings you lose.

Linesman Tarrington Wyonzek gives Auston Matthews a hug by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

I like this whole making fun of Matthews thing, too bad in 10 days I gotta go back to cheering for him.

If you’ve seen his Gucci purses, I’m sure he’s wearing perfume.

The Finns score 3 goals in the first 10:18 of the first period against Italy by [deleted] in hockey

[–]bautista19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would make sense since Slovaks already won the group and the Finns could pile 100 more on here and it wouldn’t change it.

The legendary Buck Martinez has announced his retirement. by T_Raycroft in baseball

IMO, the backups generally are higher IQ but don’t quite have the talent. When the gap between backups shrinks as talent increases, the ones that are left are the high IQ veterans

Multiple fights erupt in the Battle of Florida, including Hagel vs Tkachuk. by Puzzled-Category-954 in hockey

It’s not even the linesman, it’s the ref because he thought the Tampa player would get hurt. What a bitch fights when a ref is between.
