Great article. And thanks for the terrific coverage of OBD baseball!

Forum friends, with today's plethora of posts, I'm hoping that I didn't Puck Up! 😁

Some New England understatement when it comes to the play of USA goaltender Connor Hellebuyck having a 'solid' game. 41 saves today, 4-0 with 1.23 goals against for the tournament. Amazing. Canadian goaltender Jordan Binnington also played a terrific game. Today, Connor was under siege. There was a lot of Miracle on Ice juju going for the USA today. In every respect except goaltending, Canada outplayed the USA. Over the spectrum of sports, the QB in football probably has the greatest significance on the outcome of the game. But right up there, if not more important, is a hockey team's goaltender. Today, the last line of defense, USA goaltender Hellebuyck, was the reason the Red, White, and Blue won the Gold.

Skating 3 on 3 in OT usually makes for a shorter OT. Both goaltenders played solid games.

The skating speed of both teams in the Gold Medal game was off the charts. The skating on TV may have been enhanced a bit by the Olympic rink being 3 feet shorter than the standard NHL rink. The distance from the blue lines to the end of the rink was the same. Center ice between the blue lines was three feet shorter.

USA Men's team member Brock Nelson's grandfather played on the 1960 Gold Medal team, and his uncle was on the 1980 squad that won the Gold 46 years ago on today's date.

WOW! Thanks for the blast from the past. Back then, the World Series was played in the daylight. We snuck transistor radios into Middle School to listen to the games played during the week. The entire school erupted when Mazeroski hit the famous, Series-clinching walk-off home run.

Oh, (oh) Canada. Women's and Men's teams take down Canada 2-1 in overtime. A sweep of the Canucks for the USA and the first Olympiad in which both the Women's and Men's teams won Gold Medals. In 1960, I recall watching the USA upsetting Russia 3-2 in the semifinals, the 'Forgotten Miracle' game, before defeating Czechoslovakia 9-4, to win the USA Men's hockey team's first Olympic Gold Medal. The games were played on an outdoor rink in Squaw Valley, California, with no helmets required to be worn, and the games were broadcast only in black and white. Two players from Harvard, Billy and Bobby Cleary, played for the USA. I attended the same prep school as did the Cleary brothers, Belmont Hill School, where a photo of the 1960 team was a prominent feature in our locker room. For many years, Bobby was Harvard's all-time leading scorer. Billy went on to coach the hockey team at Harvard before serving as Harvard's AD from 1990 through 2001.

Another Badger and the first Black woman to play for the USA team, Laila Edwards, was given an Assist on Hilary's goal. The player who scored the Golden Goal for the USA Men's team, Jack Hughes, comes from a hockey family. Jack went directly from high school to the NFL. Brothers Quinn and Luke played for Michigan before moving up to the NHL. The two Gold Medal games won by the USA Men's and Women's teams helped lead the USA to its greatest medal haul in the history of the Winter Olympics. 1st - Norway - 38 Medals - 18 Gold 2nd - United States of America - 33 Medals - 12 Gold 3rd - Italy - 30 Medals - 10 Gold for the host nation.

Instead of the Chargers firing anyone, ESPN fired the wanker who made the prediction, Todd "McShade." Er, Todd McShay. 😁 The payback for Hubris is a witch! 👺

AMEN! And how about Babe Parilli, who played for coach Bear Bryant and won an SEC title at Kentucky! You can't have nice football stuff at basketball schools, right? What's that? I thought I heard you say something about the Hoosiers and a Cig? 😁
