re: TEAM USA WINS GOLD | USA 2 Canada 1 FINAL/OT | Gold Medal Game | Olympic Hockey

Kind of unlucky for us that Sweden finished all the way down as a 7 seed. That’s probably who we’ll play Wednesday.

That wasn’t a great showing if we are honest.

In Swayman’s defense on the last one, Miller has to close that space more. Staying that far back is doing more to screen your own goalie than to block the shot.

Hellebuyck started the first game and will start the next game and the knockout games. Oettinger might even take over as backup after this showig from Swayman.

I doubt we see Swayman start another game this Olympics

Also, I know I called Ilia a choker earlier, but I’m seeing a lot of things talking about the quality of the ice. Any truth to that or just sour grapes?
I don’t know, but basically everyone was falling. I think 4 of the last 5 fell which would be 4 of the favorites to win gold because the highest scorers from the short program went last today.

After they got him coached up what to and what not to say. Believe his words when he didn't think the mic would pick it up and his body language as he left the bench.
I thought he handled himself pretty well given the circumstances.
Sponsors aren’t going to drop him over that. They might over just losing, but I doubt anyone is going to care beyond this week that a hot mic caught him saying he should have been on the 2022 team.

The format of this tournament is kind of silly. No one gets eliminated in the group stage.

I am too now, but I think it’s crazy to not have a U.S. gold medal match on a broadcast or cable network.

He’s not ready for the biggest level yet, but he’s a rookie. People shouldn’t say the gap between the NFL and college is huge, and then act like a guy is a bust because he isn’t good as a rookie.

Also the comments are so mild. The comments from Hess are the only ones that are remotely controversial (and he didn’t come off eloquent), but I can’t imagine how someone would get fired up about it.
Also, these guys will complain about this and say the Olympics are woke then turn on the Super Bowl where I guarantee a higher percentage of the athletes are woke than the Olympic team.

I really enjoyed the documentary. I do think a lot of things don’t do a good enough job capturing how good the Soviet team was. They will always mention that they were effectively pros and had dominated the Olympic competitions, but they fail to mention that the Soviet team routinely beat NHL pros including winning a 3 game series over an NHL all star in 1979.
The Miracle of Ice wasn’t just a college group beating a professional team. It was a college team beating an elite professional team.

Miami-scoff all you want but Miami pulls in about a little more than 3 million viewers per Saturday. This is more than Tennessee, Auburn, Vanderbilt and Missouri. Miami is the 12th most watched team in the country.
Over 3M is correct, but they finished 19th in the country behind all 4 of the teams you listed. That was also in a season they made it to the national title.

You don’t understand that a guy would want to be remembered as exclusively an Alabama player and be able to bring his future kids back to Tuscaloosa without having to say “oh and my career ended with me taking a bribe to play for a random school?”
You seem like a depressed, angry man who should be embarrassed that a 23 year old football player seems to have far more understanding of what is actually important in life than you do.

re: How would Jordan's Bulls fare in today's NBA?

They would probably all foul out before halftime of every game
Jordan’s NBA was a much bigger deal than the current NBA, at least in the U.S.
Finals used to average high 20M to 30M. Now they are in the high single digits or low teens.
Point is that if Jordan was around today the NBA would make the rules to benefit him and the Bulls.
re: Has Nick Saban's Beef with Curt Cignetti been explained?

Cig was on Saban"s staff, never promoted, never put on a path and endorsed for D1 HC coaching jobs like all other Saban assistants.
My memory is that in 2010 Saban referred Cignetti to the Kent State job which is Saban’s alma mater. Kent State chose Darrel Hazel who actually made a MAC title game before posting an atrocious record at Purdue.
quote:
On College Gameday this year, Saban picked: Illinois over Indiana Oregon over Indiana Ohio State over Indiana Alabama over Indiana Miami over Indiana
None of these were ridiculous at the time except for Alabama over Indiana, but Saban always picks Alabama. Saban also defaults to picking the team with more NFL bodies just like he recruited. He picked against Vanderbilt a ton too this year and picked Miami to make a run because of this.
quote:
And never gave any praise to Indiana and Cignetti.
This is just dishonest.

This has been a disappointing year to date if we’re honest.
If Bediako stays eligible and we get healthy and we start hitting our shots, maybe we make a run in March.
If any of those don’t hit, I don’t see this team doing much.

When you fix a problem that didn't need to be fixed. So dumb.
Public and private institutions have separated in Tennessee athletics for a while. They still play each other in the regular season, so it doesn’t really affect travel much and I think it’s a more fair system because public and private schools are materially different.

It absolutely matters.
It still matters, but before this IU team, no team had won a national title game with less than 50% blue chips (4/5 stars).
Indiana did it with less than 10%. They are 72nd nationally, behind multiple G5 teams and dead last in the B1G, in 247’s team talent rankings.

What power conference program cannot win one if Indiana can?
I’m not saying these conventions are dead or worthless now, but this millennium, these beliefs were absolute until this IU team.
