    A permanent big air venue is a weird idea.

    Eileen Gu is still an American citizen so who knows how strict they are about this.
  3. NearPup
    Chris Chelios’ kid playing for China will be really weird.

    What a dream run for Fernandez so far.

    I know, that's why I said that. Half my family is from Quebec and it's definitively the... loudest side. Also the side that is the most fun to party with by some margin.

    If you think Latinos are exuberant, wait until you meet a Quebecois... (A Latino from Quebec would of course be pretty loud)

    It appears Canada did better in the summer Olympics than the summer Paralympics for the first time ever this year. Danielle Dorris won a gold, though, so I'd call this a success.

    Canada has 4 men and 4 women ranked high enough to qualify for the Olympics, pretty sure we can send two men and one woman. Doing that actually gives us an extra women’s quota in another event that we wouldn’t otherwise have.
  9. NearPup
    Would make no sense to only send one man and one woman in aerials since competing in the mixed aerials team event entitles you to a max of 32 athletes.

    Great win by Fernandez. She really looked like she belongs on centre court tonight.

    You really just need a tiny percentage of Chinese people to gain an interest in the NHL for it to be a very lucrative market.

    First best-on-best tournament since 2014 (lets forget about the abomination that the 2016 World Cup was)

    finally wins another world championships, after an almost decade long drought. And who else but Marie-Philip Poulin to score the golden goal? Legend.

    The current format is bad, but it's still better than the 1998/2002 format. I wish they could do the 2006 format again, but that's unlikely to happen because of the extra game.
  15. NearPup
    The Olympics are first and foremost a made for TV event anyway, I don’t see what’s wrong with spreading them across a wide region.
  16. NearPup
    Quite happy with the outcome of these qualification tournaments tbh. Slovakia and Latvia have some of the best hockey fans in the world and Denmark is by far the best hockey nation that had never qualified for the Olympics.
  17. NearPup
    Even ignoring quotas, the 1998 and 2002 formats sucked. It was especially bad for teams outside the top 6 because they couldn’t get NHL players for the first round.
  18. NearPup
    The expected outcome is brewing in Bratislava (Congrats )

    Curling night in America? Guessing you aren't allowed to tell us who won :P

    https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/bobsleigh/kaillie-humphries-jeopardy-missing-beijing-olympic-1.6155500 Given my own experience with the US immigration system I always thought it seemed unlikely Humphries would get US citizenship in time for the 2022 Olympics. It appears she won't get citizenship until 2023, and thus probably won't be eligible to compete in the 2022 Olympics.
  21. NearPup
    Not really. Though if the Conservatives form the next government I definitely expect they won’t send any dignitaries to China for the games.
  22. NearPup
    I somehow missed Kate O’Brien's life threatening injury. That silver paralympic medal must be really sweet.
  23. NearPup
    The situation looks really dire https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1112183/weightlifting-doomed-says-davies
  24. NearPup
    From what I watched of - (the third period), doesn't look *great* but beating in regulation, combined with beating , puts them in a great position to qualify.
  25. NearPup
    For official scoring I think they only count shots on target, that might account for the difference.
