The Olympic party is over, and there's still cleaning to do, largely because the players who politicized the Olympics continue to act as if they didn't.

Sifting through that, along with what the rest of the day in D.C. will bring.

not sure how the "it's not politics" crowd is going to square having hockey players attend the "cheer the politicians i like and boo the ones i don't" gala. should be an interesting and memorable evening!

all totally fair questions ... i tend to think those guys were just gassed because they'd been like triple shifted to start OT, but that's also a fuck up

I am coming back around on like 3x3 OT because goals come on skill plays, and any individual mistake can be the thing that blows it. They don't end on fluky goals.

100%. McDavid made an ill-advised solo effort and turned it over (his second in OT). Makar made a bad gamble that sprung a 3v1. MacKinnon did … I have no idea what, and lost a puck battle to Werenski. Forget Binnington, Canada’s three best players completely screwed the pooch on the deciding play.
