Feels like a Canucks game Missed that 5 on 3 opportunity Adversity early in the tournament isn't a bad thing. See how they progress next few games if they need to play a qualifying game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 Need a goalie change, but next game is China, not much of a test. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devon_Levi Levi first attracted the attention of Hockey Canada through his stellar performance at the 2019 World Junior A Challenge, an under-20 tournament. He stopped 77 of 80 shots, led Canada East to a silver medal, and was named tournament MVP. He gained more widespread recognition during the 2021 IIHF U20 World Juniors Championship due to his outstanding play for the Canada men's national junior ice hockey team, helping them win the silver medal. Levi ended the tournament with a .964 SV% (topping the all-time record established by Carey Price in 2007) and a 0.75 GAA, both being the best in the tournament. He became the second goaltender ever to record three shutouts in the tournament. He was named the Best Goaltender of the tournament by the IIHF Directorate, and named to the tournament All-Star Team.

UnkNuk Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Gonna be interesting to see what they decide: BEIJING (AP) — Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva will find out Monday if she can compete at the Olympics in the women’s competition, which starts a day later. The Court of Arbitration for Sport said Saturday the expedited hearing on Valieva’s doping case will be held Sunday night in Beijing, with a ruling by Monday afternoon. https://www.si.com/olympics/2022/02/12/kamila-valieva-doping-case-sunday-decision-monday-figure-skating?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=campaign_3699863 ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* Meanwhile someone named Stephanie Apstein has her opinions on the issue. An excerpt: BEIJING — Finally, a reprieve from talking about Russia’s cheating at the Olympics! This time, it’s the Russian Olympic Committee’s cheating at the Olympics. Eight years after Team Russia ran a sophisticated state-sanctioned doping program that involved passing dirty samples through a hole in a wall, and two years after it was punished by having to call itself by a ridiculous acronym containing the word Russia and wear a marginally modified version of the Russian flag, we are doing this again. It’s hard to believe those crippling sanctions did not teach Russia a lesson! https://www.si.com/olympics/2022/02/11/kamila-valieva-russian-figure-skating-failed-drug-test-ioc?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=campaign_3699863 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to hear what Mike Johnson and Chris Cuthbert are talking about “behind the scenes”. Care to elaborate? Hot mics more interesting than the games probably...

Too bad the winner of monobob Kallie Humphrey defected from the Canadian team and became a US citizen in Dec 2021. Could have won that gold for Canada, but nope. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
