So just out of curiosity, I took a look at the average ages of each of the women's hockey teams this year. The average age of the Canadian team is a whopping 29.22 years. The next oldest team is Finland at 25.96. The US average age is 25.87. It's no wonder we're getting killed.

I am headed home now. I throughly enjoyed my time in Milan! The arenas were full and packed with supporters.
 
However, I will say these were not well organized games behind the scenes and left a lot to be desired. 
 
Ciao Milan!

Prediction Contest
 
Rules: The game is simple. Every day, I'll post a few questions in the opening post of each thread and if you're playing, you post your answers to the questions below. Whoever gets the most questions right at the end of the Olympics wins. You can change your answers as many times as you like as long as the first event hasn't begun and you can join anytime.
 
1. Biathlon: Who will be the most accurate Canadian on the shooting range? (Nadia Moser, Pascale Paradis, Benita Peiffer, Shilo Rousseau. If there's a tie, all correct answers will get points)
2. Luge: Will Podulsky/Allan finish any of their runs ranked in the top 6 for that run? (11 sleds in total)
New format, so let's try this again.
3. Curling: Which Canadian will have the highest accuracy against Germany? (Brett Gallant, Ben Hebert, Brad Jacobs, Marc Kennedy. If there's a tie, all correct answers will count)
4. General: Does Canada win at least one medal today?

Same ladies, same

It's actually 10th but still a great result nonetheless!

I blame the Olympics site 

Thank you and good night 😅🤣😝
 
Now all in Prevc family have Olympic medal. 😊

Also a top 15 finish for Embyr-Lee Susko in women's singles luge.
 
She actually put forward three solid runs, if she had done another on her second she would've been top six.  

10th for Stephen Gogolev in the figure skating men's short program!
 
What an Olympic debut for him!

Primerano and Kraemer should both be here

And he gets to skate after the flood (which means more exposure) :D
 
Hopefully this is the start of a renaissance for him. And certainly it’s amazing for him to be having this moment after all his struggles as a senior.

There is Dune soundtrack slander going on at the CBC and I will not stand for it

Not picking Primerano was a mind-blowing decision and if it was because of age, that makes it even more stupid.
 
Do you know who was a teenager in 2010? MARIE-PHILIP POULIN!
 
and we all know how that turned out.

Hagara as the youngest skater here qualified for the Free Skate 

It's sad how Troy Ryan has fallen, once being the hero behind the bench in 2022, to now being responsible for everything going on now.
 
Like I swear the main reason a lot of older players like Jocelyne Larocque and Natalie Spooner are still on this roster is because he himself wants them there, and I can confirm his influence on players that get picked for the roster is pretty big. Just look at the ice time that gives really, and almost every game the geriatric players get more ice time than the younger players. It's been going on for years now,
 
 

This is a big thing the US has done much better than Canada for years now: they will pick the best players, even if they are young, even if they are still in the NCAA.

Hockey Canada better clean house on the women's national team staff after this tournament. This is embarrassing and the fact that this is happening against the US just makes it even more humiliating.

Faendrich is out!
