Nah, I think Germany was just better than people thought

 

I think they're proving it (again) right here.

I do want Germany to win because who doesn't like an underdog.  But that would give them 15 gold which would break Canada's record.  Soooooooo...

i still think the Russians will put fire and brimstones on the ice in the 3rd period. Znaroks know very well, that this is the moment the whole Russia was waiting too much for, they will not let it go so easily

Well, Vancouver had only 86 events compared to Pyeongchang's 102. So Germany would need like 17 golds to break inflation adjusted record. Though I'm sure those 14 golds aren't the "real" record neither.

But honestly, who cares about medal table standings and medal records?  

 

Awesome sports should be the priority..

That record isn't long for this world considering all the events being added anyway. Let Germany have it. I want the upset!

 

...obviously Germany winning would be highly irregular xD

Those 'power breaks' are annoying.

You misspelled "TV timeouts".

 

Edit: huh, powerbreak is German for TV timeout.

You can call them bunny hop breaks for all I care, doesn't make them any less annoying

I duno, I really like bunnies.

 

Believe it or not, the TV breaks are a lot shorter here than in the NHL.

 

Best part of watching basketball at the Olympics vs the NBA is the lack of TV timeouts, too.
