Coffee and high stress sports are not a good combination.

This is a time I wish Cole Caufield and Lane Hutson* were Canadian. *Hutson is eligible and Canada should have invited him.

Canada's advantages kinda evaporate in OT. The US has enough speed guys to keep up, and they're the ones who keep winning draws. Possession in a 3-on-3 is everything.

It's fine. We're fine.

The US has not allowed a powerplay goal these games.

That should have been an interference call against the US.

Well, we're screwed.

I'm glad Devon Toews took out his evil twin during the second intermission and returned to the game.

Baby you can drive Makar

MAKARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the Suzuki line had a great shift and Cooper immediately broke it up. I don't get it.

Great shift by the Suzuki line.

Canada's inability to win key draws is costing them this so far.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIT

Get Marie-Philip Poulin out there.

Devon Toews is not having a good game.

On the positive side, Canada is due a make-up call for that chincy hooking penalty.

It's fine. We're fine.

Well, at least they got the traditional soft Binner goal out of the way maybe?

My biggest question early this game is whether the Tkachuk's can be goaded into a first period fight. You know that Canada's rat line is going to try.

I feel less confident this morning than I did in 2014, mainly because this version of Team Canada wins games in a different way. The 2014 team was a brick wall of defense and goaltending where all you had to do was wait for Canada to score one goal. One goal isn't going to do it here.

The result of this game determines whether Canada reaches the top ten in medals by gold count. It will colour how we feel about these Olympics as a whole.

So a dude's going locally viral over being approached by wild turkeys. www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/com...

Year after year, Dale Weise just keeps on winning.

The amazing thing about Canada winning curling medals is you feel like you know these people even if you've never met.

Men's hockey final. Who they want to win for: USA: 3. The country 2. Themselves 1. Their hockey program Canada: 3. Their hockey program 2. Themselves 1. The country

Team Sweden simultaneously snaps pencils.

BRAD MOTHERFUCKIN' JACOBS, BAHD!

Bloody fine shot, Brad!

Christ, what an end of curling by Jacobs and co.

When it comes to accents, both curling teams are gold medalists.

AND A SECOND STRAIGHT MASS START SILVER FOR BLONDIN!!!

Ottawa medalists: Isabelle Weidemann and Ivanie Blondin (G) Kayle Osborne (S) Rachel Homan and Emma Miskew (B) Paul Poirier, kinda (B) Good games for our city.

The stress of that women's curling final really took the edge off the stress I'm already feeling about tomorrow's hockey game.

BRONZE for Ottawa's Rachel Homan, no longer the Kurt Browning of curling.

This is Homan's game to lose now.

These Olympic crowds don't get curling. You're not supposed to chant. You're supposed to be so wasted that you can't string three syllables together.

Where the hell have those Homan shots been all tournament? Damn!

And they couldn't have done it without this man.

Major news for Canada: the USMCA exemptions will continue under the new tariff regime *GREER SAYS IEEPA EXEMPTIONS WILL BE EXTENDED UNDER SECTION 122

Heading south in Ottawa tonight? Boy will you ever notice how quickly the road conditions deteriorate.

Canada vs. the United States in the men's hockey final it is.

He did his best after Dan Mattrick left a giant mess to clean up.

Cheer for Juraj Slafkovsky?! Well, if you insist...

Team Canada's plan for Tom Wilson and Sidney Crosby on Sunday:

How can anyone possibly feel like working after that?

Sidney Crosby can duct tape himself to Tom Wilson for the final. Problem solved.

Canada is busy all Sunday morning, as expected.

Fuck offside challenges forever.

OC Transpo releasing a crisis management update during the men's hockey semifinal feels so on brand.
