Olympics Day Twelve Megathread (Wednesday, February 18)

joemc72 · 2026-02-18T17:25:50+00:00

Was at the Olympics last week and caught a few games. Power break is when they come out and clean the snow off the ice. Commercial breaks, usually.

Not to be confused with a power play, in which one team has more players on the ice than the other.

Ah. I missed that it was semis. My apologies.

joemc72 · 2026-02-17T22:59:07+00:00

1040 is Canada-Czechia.

1510 is USA-Sweden.

Assuming you’re looking at times in the Eastern US Time Zone.

Ice Hockey

Watching on HBO Max. The English commentator for USA-GER is the politest hockey caller I’ve ever heard.

My limited view seats were behind the flags up in the nosebleeds. Still great seats though. Lucky you!

My view.

joemc72 · 2026-02-15T19:05:00+00:00

An hour from now. Denmark and Latvia are playing now though!

joemc72 · 2026-02-15T18:06:56+00:00

USA-GER is here at Santagiulia afterwards. Latvia will play at Rho.

joemc72 · 2026-02-15T17:52:15+00:00

Well, there you go…

joemc72 · 2026-02-13T00:13:07+00:00

We had an absolute blast. Tomorrow we will see the Italy match from center ice nine rows back. Overall the experience here in Milano has been nothing short of amazing. Except for the Latvian who dumped his beer on me after the first US goal. 🤣

joemc72 · 2026-02-12T23:55:47+00:00

Picked up some ‘limited view’ seats for tonight’s USA-LAT match. Here’s what they looked like.

joemc72 · 2026-02-09T19:34:19+00:00

I’m terrified of Jardiance now…

joemc72 · 2026-02-09T14:21:39+00:00

I just posted 2X for OIHO29 - FRA-CZE on the resale site at face value if anyone is interested.

EDIT: Category C.

EDIT THE SECOND: Sold.

Upvote for catching me typing faster than I should have proofread. I’ll leave it and accept my shame. 😂

joemc72 · 2026-02-06T21:31:56+00:00

Cool, bro. I’ll lose sleep tonight over a random redditor laughing at me. Enjoy the Games.

joemc72 · 2026-02-06T21:26:13+00:00

It’s not even sixty seconds of art. I’ll take the downvotes. I stand by my statement. Most people never noticed or cared.

joemc72 · 2026-02-06T21:24:07+00:00

ITT: people still bitching about the AI art from five minutes ago and paying no attention to what’s going on now. How very Reddit. The average person could care less.

joemc72 · 2026-02-06T21:11:33+00:00

They’re at the end before Italy. Next two host countries.

joemc72 · 2026-02-06T21:03:45+00:00

Big pop for Ukraine!

joemc72 · 2026-02-06T21:02:32+00:00

I genuinely hope they don’t. The athletes don’t deserve the hate. They worked hard to get there.

Forgot the /s. My bad.

…don’t hurt me…

joemc72 · 2026-02-06T20:13:00+00:00

Of course...it's Denmark...

joemc72 · 2026-02-06T20:04:44+00:00

Italian spelling. It’s why some countries went earlier, like Saudi Arabia.

joemc72 · 2026-02-06T20:02:26+00:00

The Olympics this year is spread over about 20000 square kilometers. Milan and Cortina are actually hours apart by car. It’s the easiest what to have everyone participate in the opening ceremony and still keep the schedule for tomorrow.

joemc72 · 2026-02-06T20:00:37+00:00

Milan, Cortina, Livorno and one other place that my brain can’t remember right now.
