I can’t bring myself to root for these guys just because they’re Team USA. I watch the NHL, I know they’re the most annoying, unlikable group of dudes possible. Which is unsurprising because the team is picked by a big time sexual harassment guy.

CAGE MATCH in the speed skating final there!

Come on Lars Eller, do us a solid

Speed skating VAR working overtime today

The goalie with the fighter jets on his helmet 👇

HAHAHAHAHAHA SWAYMAN 🤣🤣🤣

That's weird, she just told me that she didn't even race today.

Alas

You think Denmark has a chip on their shoulder for today’s game? Great way to start (even though I expect the US to win big) 🇩🇰🇬🇱

As someone who was there that night, this is pretty miraculous to see.

We love to see it!

I know Liverpool are up in the FA Cup soon but Olympics take precedent for me

Drama in the skeleton! 👀🇦🇹

Also the rink has a Little Free Library at it so I’m donating my copies of Game Misconduct and Boy on Ice (the story of Derek Boogaard and his battle with CTE as a result of all the fighting he did starting in junior hockey)

Needed this reminder as much as I hate the move–I hated the draft day trades in 2024 at the time but we got to the championship game two years in a row after that. Can only hope we have something else big up our sleeve now that will yield big results.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

🥇 Pinheiro Braathen just won Brazil’s first ever medal at the Winter Olympics, and it’s a GOLD in the giant slalom. It’s actually the first medal of any kind at the Winter Olympics for any country in all of South America.

So this weekend is the JWHL Challenge Cup at the Caps' practice rink, which I have done PA announcing for in the past, and looking back at the old rosters, there are some current PWHLers I've announced for. Elle Hartje, Emmy Fecteau, Klára Hymlárová, Clara Van Wieren and Anna Segedi to name a few.

But only the second winter Olympic gold medal ever for Kazakhstan post-independence, how could you not be happy for Shaidorov 🇰🇿

Watched the full replay of the free skate on Peacock and man…that was the definition of Mom’s spaghetti from Ilia 🍝

Max's program 🥺 I know he would have wanted a better score but Terry was right, the number was definitely secondary to the experience

HEEEEEEELP 😫

God help them

[REDACTED] to [REDACTED]!

Things you love to see

If I wasn’t working GMU softball that day I would absolutely go and suggest all the ones I wrote on here during the Rodman contract saga

I saw many of these players at D1 in DC series over the years, they were so good

Also reminder that there’s a U20 World Cup in Poland this fall, in Łódź, Katowice, Sosnowiec and Bielsko-Biała and I think we have a great shot of winning it for the first time in 12 years with all the pro and college talent we have.

Have been singing Y-Lan Nguyen’s praises for a while and she’s right back in the mix after she was in development camp last month. Also that’s a super exciting forward group.

Maybe @838carlisle.bsky.social can tell us what country the corrupt ice dancing judge comes from

Today would be a great day for any morale-boosting Spirit news

Couldn’t get the tying goal but both the men and women haven’t disgraced themselves one bit in the hockey despite Italy not being a hockey nation

Italy hockey making it a good finish vs Slovakia 👀

Very weird hearing a British guy call hockey on the Sweden-Finland world feed

Cork Lev Yashin still living up to his name

Dam looks to be breaking in USA-Latvia, over to the other game

Latvia has a player with the last name “Balcers” and I keep thinking it’s Boats

Hahahaha

LATVIJA 🇱🇻

Today, I am Latvian

From completely wiping out on the first run to an Olympic gold!

Wow a “Call an ambulance but not for me!” run for Choi there!

How did Choi walk away from that omg

I had absolutely no idea until they mentioned it just now

I hope they add the Spirit to that too!

After going to their stand at the farmer’s market for years, I finally went to the brick and mortar location of our local Turkish restaurant to get some work done and they have some footy decor

Netherlands selecting the Current’s training facility for their World Cup home base—Virg, Grav, Cody and Jeremie will get to train on the same pitch as Croix Bethune

Also it would be great to see what our local paper has to say abo–oh, wait a sec

If I had a million dollars in intra-league transfer funds, what would I do with them...
