I can't run out in the kitchen and have a hobnob every time they do something dramatic on TV. It's hockey. It's 60 minutes of dramatic. Figures I discover that in overtime. #hockey
Regardless of what you think of today's results, I think we can all thank the #hockey gods that neither of the close games ended in penalties. Just about any other way of deciding a winner - number of total letters in the names of everyone on the squad, a debate on Heidegger's hermeneutics, a figure-skate-off, whatever - would be better.
I would like to listen to the clean broadcast play-by-play announcer audio with noise-cancelling headphones at a hockey game, rather than the often-incomprehensible booming echo over the arena's PA system mixed with screaming people.
That sounds a lot like an assistive technology.
Possibly once existing as a tiny AM radio station, BYOR.
Does it exist today?

Obviously, no one wants an athlete to get hurt. But I could really do without the men's hockey commentators repeating over and over again what amounts to, "Won't anyone think of NHL owners?"

Valiant silver. Made of greatness.

As a former netminder, I love these rare backup #Goalie stories, and even rarer cases when they actually get called into action. I could dream of sitting in the stands of Maple Leaf Gardens in the mid 80s. Two freak injuries to the home team goalies prompts an announcement, "Is there a goalie in the house?" I slowly stand up and yell, "I'll do it."
I then proceed to shut out the Oilers for the rest of the game, including 3 breakaways by Gretzky. He shakes his head slowly after every unsuccessful attempt.
Hey... it coulda happened...

I'm not caught up on today's games (so shhh!), but I really enjoyed yesterday's Latvia-Germany match, especially the third period.

Czechia and Finland are playing some seriously entertaining #hockey. #MilanoCortina2026
I think I prefer the #hockey on Saturday morning to Saturday night.
Natšlie Mlýnkovš interception, drives the net, and goal against Maschmeyer. Then slides herself headfirst into the net too.
Be the puck you want to see in the world.
