I admit, I haven't been paying attention to the rosters beyond the fact that neither Kent Johnson or Kiriil Marchenko are on the primary rosters for CAN and ROC respectively. I have the USA game replay on and have only been loosely paying attention. I keep hearing the name "Chelios" and thought how fitting it was that the son a USA legend was on the team.


So imagine my surprise when they showed a close up of him.

I also literally laughed out loud when they showed the back of Jeremy Smith's jersey.

@jstewismybastardson was probably Googling "Isabelle Weidmann legs" within seconds of waking up.

I went to see if I could find a picture of Smith's jersey and only found his Kunlun Red Star jersey which says "Smith".

For those that didn't see it, his Olympics jersey says Jieruimi

Finally watched this game and I can't believe they went and made all the players' names all Canadianized... It's Ho-Sang not Ho-Ser, eh..




Kent Johnson had a decent game having to stand in on an emergency basis for Canadian Legend *checks notes* Daniel Carr.

Shiffrin finished a race, so that's a good thing.

Happy for her, but hoping this doesn't affect our dinner plans.
