They aren’t f’n around with the mixed relay this time around!

I am so nervous for this. If they stay on their skates, they win. If they stay on their skates.

Unless they know something we don’t, whether it’s someone surprising in pre-Olympic training or one of the four below struggling, Sarault/Boutin/Dandjinou/Dubois would be the best chance

The thing is, the schedule is brutal. Quarters, semis, final, all back-to-back-to-back. This after the Men's and Women's heats. They may sub in Roussel/Brunelle for the quarters. 

[Josh 12,300]

Lajoie/Lagha, Laurialt/Le-Gac and Gilles/Poirier all move onto the free dance portion, as expected!

 

86.18 for Gilles/Porier!

Poulin gets nailed and goes off on the power-play, probably injured. Not good at all. 

Annnnnnnnnnnd she's out again. No sign of her on the bench since the start of the second period.

 

Whoever has this country's voodoo dolls, cut it out. FFS

I hope they do, the quarters should be relatively straightforward and it potentially means two extra medalists.

Probably, but you never know. Those Koreans are very strong, US/Netherlands have weak spots though.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s so bad. 
 

That first round and even the individual heats are basically layups… and compared to World Cup weekends, this is a walk in the park

Boyd-Clowes finished 45th in the men's normal hill. Slightly dissapointing.

He's been near the bottom of the standings in just about every event this year. Not surprising at all.

Piper and Paul in 3rd!
