Show me a good coach, I'll show you a good goalie.


The inverse is true as well.

Not that I'm rushing to the defense of Binner, but Philip Danault let his man go in the final minute. It wasn't a great rebound by Binnington, but if Danault's controller doesn't disconnect, Canada likely goes to OT.

It makes me sad that the Canadians couldn't at least bring home a medal for MAF :(

Does any team disappoint more on the international stage than Sweden? Credit to the Americans for a fine game today and they have to be favored to win gold, but that egg the Swedes laid just now on home ice was the same size as the Leafs vs. the Panthers in games 5 and 7.

The best part about Formula One versus IndyCar is F1 is broadcast by European entities and I don't have to watch endless feel-good soft focus fuzzy bullshit stories about how someone who was high school friends with one of the drivers overcame a particularly bad case of hangnail once and how it is inspiring the driver in today's race.

Also, F1 usually doesn't have the lizard person twat on.

Okay, I'm not going to complain about anthem singers at NHL games again.

The military plane "flyover" didn't actually go over the track.

This is what happens when you fire all the air traffic controllers.

Swiss didn't allow a goal in regulation in QF, SF and Final.
Never happened before
And the goalie that sealed it is 37 and was never drafted or even got a sniff of hockey on this side of the pond.

So far "the west" is a few countries in Europe.
Bring it on! Avoid the US due to tariffs, of course..
