Olympics: Women tournament

[red devil]

I just wonder how many more Olympics before they threaten to remove this if it continues to be US/Canada every time. That’s sort of how softball got booted

The US women's basketball team has won 7 straight gold medals and the final game usually isn't even that close. Should we get rid of women's basketball?

Poulin I assume is finished added this. Cannot imagine at 36 she’s going to come back but she probably won’t say it for a few weeks

Poulin is 30.

She’s allowed

Did Poulin try to score on the face-off at the end?

Yes. It would’ve been iconic too. A real Gretzky tier move.

Why can't I?

Congrats to Team Canada, great they avenged losing the last gold medal but they redefined the term "holding on for dear life", not just in the last few minutes but the entire third period. Thankfully they got 3 early as they were just awful for the rest of the game.

well then, she is, I agree

We should probably get rid of womens' basketball in the olympics before hockey, but for women this is pinnacle for their sports especially for women's hockey. Would suck to have them lose this and have no big event to play for and win.

Didn't realize that you were female, I agree with you 100% lol

Canada just outskilled them. It was like watching the Lightning dismantle the hard working Hurricanes. At some point it doesn’t matter if you dominate possession if the other team has too much scoring talent.

Even if I wasn't a chick, Poulin is still mother f***ing bad ass bitch!!!! I absolutely love her!!!

Now I hope they give the medals soon because I have to sleep. I start work in a few hours.

I'm against of getting rid of either of them, I was just using it as an example to show women's hockey isn't the only sport that has dominance. China dominates table tennis and there other sports that have 1 or 2 countries that dominate but we don't talk about getting rid of them.

The woman giving out the medals has the outfit of some tyrant from a teen sci-fi series like the Hunger Games or something

On the one hand it does suck that in 24 years there hasn't been more progress in other nations having more competitive teams to give Canada and the US more consistent competition. On the otherhand it would probably suck more to take away the biggest and most important tournament that women hockey players can look forward to. I mean outside of the Olympics, what other tournaments do they have that is anywhere near as significant?

Any american cry? Nothing wrong with that. Just curious. Because wjc = tears

Yes, Kessel at least, but there was more players crying just cant recall which they were.

 

[expy]

Oh Canada!

 

[snowkiddin]

Canada back on top at a best-on-best tournament. Love to see it.

 

[snag]

did I hear them sing "in all they sons command"?

24 years is basically one child-into-athlete cycle. It takes time, especially since other countries were mostly starting from literally zero.

You might want to try to grow your game before they remove it from the Olympics.

This Canada team was one of the best women’s hockey team ever assembled.

Yep.

Usually the Americans have more pure skill. This time it was reversed.
