PARALYMPICS WEEK BEGINS

Good morning sports fans back home in Canada and around the world. Welcome to the quaint town of San Vito di Cadore near Cortina.

This is where I’ll be staying throughout the Paralympics. Just four days away from opening day. 50 Canadians competing.

Fucking bawling at seeing the Gaudreau jersey out there.

First gold for the men in my lifetime, only the second in my parents' lifetimes.

Also imagine if Auston Matthews showed up

Imagine if we brought any of our offensive powerhouses instead of a Tkchuck who only punches people.

Can't argue with that one. Come on guys, this has to be it.

Bill Guerin and USA hockey make it very hard to want to be invested in this team.

At least they haven't screwed up the Paralympic team.

This is the USA team Bill Guerin wanted, and why we now wonder where the offense is going to come from.

Matthews and Larkin work well together, maybe the Leafs should trade him to Detroit for a few prospects!

Watching Olympic hockey without the constant commercial breaks or ads all over the screen is so refreshing, just like the basketball two years ago.

Don't you dare fucking hurt Larkin. He's perfect and doesn't deserve your shit.

These USA jerseys are among the best they've ever had, while Canada is wearing one of its worst.

22.02.2026 13:17 β€” πŸ‘ 52    πŸ” 7    πŸ’¬ 8    πŸ“Œ 5

if Canada wins I am going to poke barely perceptible holes in your bags of milk. I am going to befriend the dog from The Littlest Hobo and give him a good home. I am going to interview various CFL executives and casually mention that I think going to 4 downs is a good idea

Love to see Larkin as the first skater leading them out. LOVE to see them in those clean white jerseys. Let's go!!!

The timbre of this run is already going downhill quickly. So goes the Barkleys. #BM100

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.
