Love that for Drew getting the puck! what a great moment with the cheers and the big toddler smile. :))))

there was Jaccob Slavin with a bunch of other Team USA teammates. Looking for the Canadians now.

Awesome. I'm at work and had to mute and get real things done during intermission. thank you!

Tell me whether any of the US and Canadians mens' hockey teams are there in the stands rooting for the women.

Rod's going to love this Aho quote in Finnish media today: www.jatkoaika.com/Haastattelu/... thru Google Translate

Eyeing that 6:10am ET start time on Friday for FIN vs SWE -- how many are going to get up early and watch it with me?
(at least that's my plan - I guess we'll see :) )

Exactly! lol

No more Fan tunnel? (I'm fine with that, always felt a little cringey watching it - like the players were uncomfortable, trying to focus on the game)

Yep, and he's fast and defensively elite even 5v5.
I was also surprised at how few penalties he's taken. That's impressive.

Same number or GWGs and PIMs to boot.
He didn't mention Jarvis is in the 94th percentile for speed/speed bursts. Scheifele and Hyman don't bring that.

Love to see this from Jon Cooper on why Jarvis got the call:

Always *good to root

And, yeah, always this to root for Nino. Probably my favorite former Hurricane.

Then why was he left off 4 Nations last winter? (I totally believe there's politics going on, I just think it's*more* than that)

Correction from earlier post: Seth Jarvis told me he’s rooming with “Tom” at the athletes college.

That’s not Wilson, who I’ve since learned is with Darcy Kuemper.

It’s Thomas Harley.

Oof...poor Seth 😬

NBC's studio announcer previewing Team USA Olympic roster with this Fun Fact:
- includes 2 pairs of brothers
Quinn and Jack Hughes
Matthew and Brady Katchuk.

They are renting the van right now and heading over! 😂

Team Finland announces Granlund as Captain with Aho and Rantanen as the Alternates.
Hyva(umlaut) Suomi!

UNC. Duke. It delivered. Again. Let's fire up this OG After Dark! youtube.com/live/GTj0idr...

OMG!

x-y plot of teams showing injuries (weighted by a 3-year average WAR measure) against standings points.

Injuries (weighted by a 3-year WAR measure) against points per game at the Olympic break

I was looking at the twitter replies too and there's a lot of Svechnikov fans (Not just Canes fans) who are shocked. Also missing Nichuskin and Dorofeyev. It's a weird roster for sure.

Nope:

I was looking for Svech's ratings at @theathletic.com to see how his fancy stats compared to those listed here. Couldn't find it (help, anyone?) but the last story there about him was how he didn't get a point in the first 8 games.

He then put up 49 pts in the next 49 games.

Crickets.

He elaborated about how much he likes the Svechkov of Nashville. Andrei is not mentioned. I think it's because he's not Russian enough, came to the US as a teenager, & they question his allegiance. He even dates Americans.

The Athletic asked Igor Larionov to select a hypothetical Team Russia, and, yeah, Svech is apparently the Scheifele of Russia.

yo - Rod The Bot -- please feel free to take the next couple weeks off, head to a beach somewhere, whatever.

RBA: what do all of these fancy hotels have?

the guys: BARS!

have a feeling they're gonna enjoy the break 🤣
