Matthew Tkachuk has one game left to actually contribute something to Team USA instead of just skating around in unearned top line minutes yapping at everyone.

Hoooooly shit lads!

Hey look it’s Sam Bennett…

Couldn’t possibly be less interested in hearing from Wayne Gretzky right now. Move on.

Thanks I hate it.

I know everyone is making the same Poulin references… but we’ve moved to 3 on 3 this time… and she’s on one leg this time… It’s a lot to ask. And yet I doubt anyone thinks she can’t pull it off one more time.

Britta Curl not doing much there to improve her image.

Canada. Please. I’m begging you. Leave your zone. Just for a shift or two. Please.

All of Canada when the Olympic gold medal game in women’s hockey against USA starts every four years.

Canada has had some glorious looks in the last couple minutes of the second and failed to create any distance. Makes me super nervous.

KO! Let’s go!

4 new pods and 4 new pints over the last 3 days. Olympic calibre performance! Our latest is a great scene-setter for today’s Canada USA gold medal game in women’s hockey ft @schreids.bsky.social from She’s Got Game. Check it out now. Link below.

Feeling a big tying goal for my boy Pontus Holmberg.

Jeez this USA Sweden game is such a dog compared to the earlier showdowns. Just dull AF. A total slog to watch.

Aho scores. Fins on the board. Big finish coming in the Finland Switzerland game that has major repercussions for Canada.

Good for you, Mitchy.

Mitch always mother fucking clutch Marner!

I don’t need to see Hagel for the rest of the game.

Canada is now in a situation where they’re depending on Jordan Binnington to not give up the next one. So that’s cool.

Y’know… if the hockey gods wanted to do the Dostell thing to Canada… this is the early recipe they’d cook with. A bad bouncer in front of our net and then Canada getting in to penalty trouble and then Dostell going all-world the rest of the way. I’m not saying… I’m just saying…

Hell of a game there between Czechia and Denmark. Danes pushed hard at the end but badly needed to get a whistle somewhere for a timeout and a rest. Czechs get Canada again tomorrow.

TCA has been churning out the pods throughout the Olympics and today Rob & I are back in studio for a few pints and to discuss the men’s hockey round robin, the curling controversy, the overreaction to Canada’s lack of gold medals thus far and so much more. New show is up now.

Brady Tkachuk out here blowing up Germans on Italian soil like it’s the spring of 44.

Brutal swing there for Germany.

Germany going to need way better efforts from Drai and Stutzle when they get PP chances if they’ve got a hope in hell today against USA.

USA is not beating Germany by 10. Not much drama left for top spot.

Mark Stone pulls off the Jason Allison shootout approach in live game action.

Stone turns on the afterburners for the breakaway. They don’t fire but he scores anyway.

Look I’d love to see Denmark upset USA but at bare minimum the Danes doing more than their fair share so far to crush American ability to ramp up that goal differential so I’m pretty pumped with this game so far.

Jeremy Swayman possessed by the ghost of Dan Cloutier.

Binnington doing his best Carey Price stoicism impression there after taking contact waving off his D to make sure they don’t retaliate and take a stupid penalty there.

That PP1 for Canada is just so silly to watch.

It’s been a slow burn waiting for the #BlueJays return. @nickashbourne.bsky.social#BlueJaysjoined me to talk the opening of spring training and whether Toronto did enough to upgrade the roster. Plus thoughts on what the #Leafs should do at the deadline and reactions to Canada’s loss to USA in women’s hockey

Men’s hockey tournament at the Olympics off to a super fun start. Slovakia gets the upset over Finland after a great game. Terrific tone setter.

I like everyone on that intermission panel but a host and 4 analysts is a bit crowded. Hard to get everyone their time to make their points.

Chris Cuthbert and Mike Johnson something of an all star team themselves for the Olympics. Rare treat to hear them work together.

If you’re watching this Canada USA game and saying “yeah but Poulin…” you are missing a systematic dismantling by one side that will absolutely not be repaired by the return of a star for the other.

All the alarm bells that were so clearly ringing (and ignored) at Rivalry Series have now shown themselves to be a 4 alarm fire in the first period of Canada vs USA. Looked old and slow against the American youth and depth.

Seems like pretty misguided medical strategy. My mom used to treat all my illnesses with it so …

USA looking significantly faster early on here.

Spent the weekend at a Dark Craft Beer Fest and it was considerably more interesting than Sunday’s Super Bowl. On today’s TCA @bunda91.bsky.social joins me to discuss both of those monumental events, early notes from Canada & USA ahead of the Men’s Olympic hockey tourney, UFC tidbits

So due to some Super Bowl related *complications* the Monday AM edition of TCA will be delayed. But look for me and Steve Bunda to drop in on your podcast feeds later in the afternoon. See you then. Oh. And suck it Patriots!

Just got to listen to my brother-in-law give us a three minute explanation on why betting on a coin toss is tough because the odds are “roughly 50-50” and I swear i’ve never in my life done anything bad enough to deserve having my ears bleed like this any time I just want to visit my family. Fuck!

ICYMI earlier this week our man @jkamckenzie.bsky.social was in studio to discuss his new book Black Aces, the process of putting it together, some of the stories within, the Sens, the Olympics and lots more. Link to the pod and to buy the book below.

What a roar for Team Canada from this Italian crowd as they enter the Olympics Opening Ceremony.
