How was Shaeffer left off the Olympic team?

💯
The Habs are a special team. They give off an aura of joy and goodness. You want to believe in a western, they’d be the ones with the white hats. My gut tells me it’s probably true, but when you roll around in the mud, you’re bound to get some on you.
Go Habs Go!

No thanks.

For the nth time. So happy Hutson and Caufield weren’t on that team.

Indeed!

My ancestral land did a great job! Not as much as a peep of controversy!

Here’s me quietly hoping the 3 X 3 NEVER sees the light of day in NHL playoffs!
That said, as you so emphatically stated, back to the Habs!

Now we can get back to what’s important to a Habs fan. Suzuki feeding Cole who threads the needle. Not sitting on a bench watching teammates miss open nets.
3 x 3 is not the way to end a gold medal game, it’s a totally different game!
Cheers all!

Hey #CBC stop cramming stupid commercials into the ceremonies🤬

Todd: With time running out on road to gold, Canada finds another hero After an uphill battle against Finland, Nathan MacKinnon completes comeback with 36 seconds left to keep Olympic hockey dream alive.

Just bring home the hockey men’s gold and I’ll sleep like a baby! Cheers.

Nothing is wrong with us because neither one of us is cheering! I’ll quietly see myself out now. Cheers!

Todd: Tom Wilson's thuggery a black mark for Canada's hockey team Best our country has to offer also on display at the Olympics, with Mikaël Kingsbury soaring and Macklin Celebrini showing off his skill.

Not a fan of Mr. Wilson who’s only reasonable reason for being at the Olympics is to keep the US in check in case of another 4 Nations Battle Royal.
My gut tells me it won’t be the US facing Canada for the Gold. Slaf taking them out with a hat trick would be a Chef’s kiss.
Cheers and thanks!

Once again, can’t stress enough how happy I am to know that Lane and Cole are off on a beach somewhere with Demi. Cole picking inch wide spaces and Lane breaking ankles is not what I wanted to see against Canada. Hopefully Slaf takes it easy on us!

Slaf has activated beast mode!

He’s injured.

9 Olympic- 10 Cup
Good thing Cole and Lane are not on USA!

It was a different time, and the game was different. BUT had Lafleur trained like today’s athletes and had the discipline to take care of his body, he would be lighting up the league in 2026. Despite not doing so, watching that blonde flow streak down the wing was awesome. That said, Lane is a star!

Yeah, I love hockey probably more than I should, but the Olympics shouldn’t focus on athletes that make the GDP of a small nation vs other athletes that compete in anonymity only to get a chance to shine every 4 years.

Dear CBC, if you’re listening, showing commercials during a live opening ceremony of the Olympics is stupid beyond stupid. I am beyond disappointed!

I think many were just entitled long before all the craziness began. But you gotta’ figure the snowboarders are ok! No?😎

Never Sick Nick!
Iron-Nick, no wait that’s wrong, it’s not really ironic. I’ll leave quietly now!Cheers!

I truly hope my compatriots do me proud, me thinks some people are going to realize they’re not in Kansas anymore. I feel bad for the US athletes that are on the right side of history. They deserve better.

Indeed! Didn’t do too badly with a tiny Dman and a tiny forward either!

Well said!

Call me petty, it’s ok, those who know know.
I still dislike Justin Williams.
I still dislike Dale Hunter.
I still dislike Zdeno Chara.
I still have a dart board with Loria as the Bullseye and Sampson as the tiny 2.
Etc.
Time will breed forgiveness, but it’s on our license plates.
