Canada defeats China 7-2 in men's hockey and will face Sweden in the quarter-finals.

Was really hoping to see more scoring out of Wang Taile.

Side note I thought Brandon Yip was supposed to captain the team? I don't think he played in any of the games.

I feel sorry for this 15 year old Russian skater, it's pretty clear she's just a pawn of the Russian cheating machine.

He went by the pseudonym Jinguang Ye lol


/China asked me to play for them using the name Gwai Lo but i said no so they said they would get a different white guy so i said “WHO else YOU GONNA CALL?”

CBC sticking with figure skating instead of the USA - SVK hockey game. That's not a gem of a decision.

1-1 after 1 in the USA - SVK game.

States take a 2-1 lead - It was a nice play but it was Oiler-esque defence by Slovakia.

Juraj Slafkovsky (17 year old Slovak) is the tourney's leading scorer with 5 goals.

Slovaks just tied it with the goalie out for an extra attacker.

They profiled him earlier on NBC here in the US. Looks like he will be a good one.

 

[thedddd]

I wish in one and done games they would do 5v5 continuous OT.

 

[dash]

Knies almost with a buzzer beater, but we're going to a shootout.

 

[thedddd]

Setting up for Slafkovsky to win this.

 

[thedddd]

Might be the most brutal shootout ever.

 

[dash]

Oh man, the Slovaks win in a shootout.

No miracle on ice after all. Turns out this was more of an anything is pospisil moment
