AI graphics are not the way -- gimmicky and make the info look unserious. In fact I didn't even look at it at first because I thought it was an ad.

Schedule

if you loved watching women's hockey at the Olympics, keep up that energy with the PWHL / NCAA.

the PWHL resumes on Thursday, with games streaming live on youtube in the United States.

No.

It's not every day you have a call with three gold medalists. Another massive congratulations to Ivanie Blondin, Valérie Maltais, and Isabelle Weidemann on your back to back gold medals. 🥇🇨🇦

Mood

Imagine if we had lost that game? I can't imagine no one on the Cdn bench picked up on that either. Wonder if the IOC would have asked the IIHF to answer for that like they did in figure skating in Salt Lake City. Never thought I'd say this but thank god for Mitch Marner, Holy hell!!

Usually switch back and forth between CBC and Radio-Can -- but this time Radio-Can really stands out! Use the Team Canada app for real-time schedule and results for all the events sortable by Cdn athletes and by medal rounds. Really well done, download it and scroll down to "Full schedule"

And I believe him!

Umm, wow! With all that's going on in the world, shitting on people's livelihoods...and then choosing this clip to promote it is quite the choice. Gonna skip this one.

I wish someone made a mash up of all the athlete interviews and show them to high school kids -- really so inspiring, relatable and wise! There was also a great one with Courtney Sarault on Radio Can in french where she talked about nearly quitting in 2023. Really powerful stuff!

Mets-en! Pis c'est comme ça qu'on l'aime! Dufour-Lapointe also in freestyle skiing -- excellent Radio Can coverage! Plus Pierre Houde/Marc Denis. Plus Alain Goldberg/René Pothier. On est choyées! 😍🇨🇦

I love all these little bits of wisdom 🫰 Thank you for sharing them -- I almost always stop scrolling immediately when I come across one to breath and ponder. So many beautiful verses and a good reminder to disconnect and touch grass as they say. Love it!

It's on!! Let's go Suzyyyyyyy!!

If you don't already follow @stevenpellis.ca for his great hockey coverage, bring some joy into your life and follow him for his stick man drawings of the Olympic tourney goals! Omg they are so beautiful and really capture the essence 😂

It's official -- you're my favourite! Haha

Omg I love these stick figure goals so much lol!!! This one is high art🔥

Je n'ai vraiment pas eu la même lecture -- ils venaient d'arriver en Italie après un vol de 8 heures. J'ai vu ça plutôt comme de la fatigue.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

They scored 2 goals since I put a silly frog headband on my head

Spent the morning looking up "Italian appetizers" for an opening ceremony feast - made me even more eager!! So exciting! Hockey + curling + shirt track + cannolis {swoon}

I meant more in the sense of how they apply the rules -- NHL style or IIHF style. For instance, very strict on fighting in IIHF rules, goalie interference, line changes ... Also, camera helmets or nah? And yes as a very avid Olympics watcher I have less issue with IIHF reffing than NHL right now

IIHF - IIHF-NHL to share officials in Milan Cooperation similar to 1998-2014

Unfortunately there will be NHL reffing at the Olympics - on "blended teams" alongside IIHF refs. Will be interesting to see who gets assigned to the big games and which set of rules they apply. Expect controversy!! www.iihf.com/en/events/20...

Honestly, this!! i get why coaches and players don't -- but journalists should be putting more pressure and accountability for egregious calls to force the league to clean it up/add video review/add a video ref that could review plays instantly and correct calls before penalties are assigned

Some of the very blatant calls lately have me seriously wondering if there is some sport-betting involved in these calls -- esp at the end of games. Definitely seems worse this season

I don't get the point of all the headlines pretty much saying "haha, AI is coming for your job" who is the audience for this type of framing? This is something so many people feel so anxious about. It's just so off-putting. That and AI hasn't proven anything yet and there are many hurdles before it

A not-so-veiled shot at the reffing for sure!

Great article, Stu! Lots of fun behind the scene bits. I also appreciate the social media clips for those of us who left X. Really wish the habs posted that stuff to Bluesky too! Have a great weekend!

Freaking adorable 😍 Also, follow Jared for his great PWHL Victoire coverage 🫶
