Huge, huge disappointment. I really did not think we would lose to Poland at this tournament. And near the end I was still confident we would win this after fighting back.

Croatia played very well tonight. But we was a TEAM. It was our best match on this tournament.

Thank you, Croatia. It was very good match!

Congrats to you, guys. You played a good match. I think you had better goalkeepers (often our Problem in big matches) and better back court shooters.

Congratulations to France, 1cm away from a draw in the last second :yikes:

 

And our girls had like 3-4 very big chances to equalize the match, but they missed. It's quite simple: when you miss and miss and miss your chances, you're not gonna win. Like one of our stars, Lois Abbingh, just said on TV: "France was better in the first match, they were better today."

    • Here's all the confirmed NHLers so far that I could find. Some big names are going. Once the 1st round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is over, more names should be added    Canada Macklin Celebrini, F (San Jose Sharks) Travis Konecny, F (Philadelphia Flyers) Brandon Montour, D (Seattle Kraken) Ryan O'Reilly, F (Nashville Predators) Zayne Parekh, D (Calgary Flames) (only pre-tournament games are confirmed) Travis Sanheim, D (Philadelphia Flyers) Mackenzie Weegar, D (Calgary Flames)   Bo Horvat and Kent Johnson aren't confirmed but they are both willing to play if asked apparently. Sidney Crosby is considering.    Czechia Filip Hronek, D (Vancouver Canucks) Jakub Lauko, F (Boston Bruins) Karel Vejmelka, G (Utah Hockey Club) Dan Vladar, G (Calgary Flames)   David Pastrnak is possible    Finland Justus Annunen, G (Nashville Predators) Juuso Parssinen, F (New York Rangers) Juuse Saros, G (Nashville Predators) Teuvo Teravainen, F (Chicago Blackhawks) Eeli Tolvanen, F (Seattle Kraken)    Germany Philipp Grubauer, G (Seattle Kraken) Moritz Seider, D (Detroit Red Wings)    Sweden Rasmus Andersson, D (Calgary Flames) Mikael Backlund, F (Calgary Flames) Leo Carlsson, F (Anaheim Ducks) William Eklund, F (San Jose Sharks) Filip Forsberg, F (Nashville Predators) Adam Larsson, D (Seattle Kraken) Isac Lundestroem, F (Anaheim Ducks) Marcus Pettersson, D (Vancouver Canucks) Alexander Wennberg, F (San Jose Sharks)   Mika Zibanejad is also likely. Tom Willander (Vancouer Canucks prospect) is also confirmed but possibly only for pre-tournament games.    United States Matty Beniers, F (Seattle Kraken) Matt Coronato, F (Calgary Flames) Conor Garland, F (Vancouver Canucks) Cutter Gauthier, F (Anaheim Ducks) Clayton Keller, F (Utah Hockey Club) Michael Kesselring, D (Utah Hockey Club) Jackson LaCombe, D (Anaheim Ducks) Will Smith, D (San Jose Sharks) Tage Thompson, F (Buffalo Sabres) Alex Vlasic, D (Chicago Blackhawks)   K'Andre Miller, Jeremy Swayman, Dustin Wolf not confirmed but say they're interested
    • Regarding the swimming they have added the 800m for men and the 1500m for women so cutting numbers would be odd. 
    • That quota I’ve been told by an athlete aiming to qualify who I know online. 
    • Has the quota for Canada been offically confirmed anyway, or is that just a rumour? I can't find anything on google about it (nor the suggested quota for England's athletes someone posted earlier).   12 per gender would make sense (it's roughly what Canada sent to Birmingham). 12 overall seems dumb.
    • Some sports have qualification systems   3x3 basketball (wheelchair) Para-cycling Powerlifting Weightlifting
    • In the past few games, Canada (and other nations) was given an overall athlete quota which they then divided it through the various sports.
    • Whose decision was this, Team Canada's or the Organising committes?
    • I’ve been told there are no straight finals planned for the swimming. 
    • I’m suprsied the games is still that big!  
    • Actually now that I look at the numbers, it makes even less sense. Almost the entire reduction of 4800 athlete down to 3000 is explained by the removal of events. There's no reason to halve our swim team, considering we likely have the third strongest team
