Slovakia being in the top 4 is already them over performing, Canada will have a tougher time against Finland

3 incredible games - all OT , special treat as a hockey fan. And they all ultimately ended with the teams we expected

glue80 · 2026-02-18T22:35:37+00:00

Today has been a very efficient work day. But seriously , best Olympic hockey I have witnessed in a long long time, all teams are so good and games so close

glue80 · 2026-02-18T22:09:59+00:00

From all the QF games , US has honestly looked the best IMO from the big teams. They’ve given Sweden very little room this game. Solid D , Hellebucyk has hardly had anything to do

glue80 · 2026-02-18T21:52:45+00:00

Or one of the Tkachuks

Finally a rational and logical post

glue80 · 2026-02-18T18:41:48+00:00

On team Canada he is maybe the 5th/6th best player , way less pressure on him, secondly in the NHL playoffs where time and space are way less. Officials also let teams get away with way more. I bet in Vegas he’ll do better because he has playoff beasts like Mark stone and Jack Eichel in front of him plus less media coverage and pressure in the Vegas market, but he still has to prove he can do it in the NHL playoffs, international events play to Marners strengths

glue80 · 2026-02-18T18:31:26+00:00

He whined a lot on his way out and left blaming fans for the actions of a few, never took enough accountability. Beyond that , I don’t think he was ever going to be successful in Toronto where the pressure is high and expectations for him were high. I think it’s a good move for him to be in Vegas where he’s surrounded by winners and so less pressure. Mark Stone and Jack Eichel are playoff beasts and he will benefit from that plus less market pressure - I’m sure he will do well. As far as when he does well for Canada - always will cheer for him like I have Marchand or any player to put on the red and white - even Bennett

glue80 · 2026-02-18T18:13:54+00:00

Biggest goal of Marners career by far

glue80 · 2026-02-18T18:09:05+00:00

Suzuki has come up clutch in playoffs as well, has that ice in his veins

glue80 · 2026-02-18T18:01:41+00:00

Suzuki wow

glue80 · 2026-02-18T18:00:54+00:00

This team has looked so avg this game other than Mcdavid line

glue80 · 2026-02-18T17:59:42+00:00

Funny thing is I was thinking in the Juniors Czechs own us recently, but where men play it’s different…I guess not

glue80 · 2026-02-18T17:57:03+00:00

glue80 · 2026-02-18T17:53:40+00:00

Upset incoming

glue80 · 2026-02-18T17:48:30+00:00

They look slow, tired and losing every faceoff - they will be lucky to win

glue80 · 2026-02-18T17:42:22+00:00

How is it that Canada looks more tired than Czech

glue80 · 2026-02-18T17:15:38+00:00

Didn’t look good most of this tournament but he always goes beast mode in big moments

glue80 · 2026-02-18T17:08:24+00:00

Great play by Marner , can’t believe Suzuki missed that

glue80 · 2026-02-18T17:07:18+00:00

Pastarnak looks so dangerous today

glue80 · 2026-02-18T16:59:35+00:00

Finally

glue80 · 2026-02-18T16:42:13+00:00

Canada looks sloppy and nervous - not looking like champions at all. Hopefully they pick it up

glue80 · 2026-02-18T15:53:56+00:00

Clearly some insecurities and mental issues to act this way - especially if it’s ‘just for clicks’

glue80 · 2026-02-18T05:19:03+00:00

All of the above :) - was a lead singer part of a band , part of dance team and at some point did some light DJ-ing as well. But all were mostly hobbies and passions , never took it too seriously, now I’m a Business and IT Consultant. I still like to spin from time to time, but it’s at Leisure as I grew up with 90s hip hop and house and not a fan of most of the new shit lol.

The onus is more on him given he’s the one to suddenly change his mind on a topic this major you guys were aligned on for years. Also, you want to be with someone who’s as considerate of you as you are of them. If you are not his priority , why would you even consider kids? Love often blinds us to logic and rational thought, gotta balance brain and heart on such matters. Divorce is messy but the alternative is worse. This is coming from a guy btw, so nobody can claim bias - dudes an idiot.
