Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]
The Olympics are done, and I for one am going to miss having sports on in the background all day. The Men’s hockey especially, with the return of the NHL players was quite a treat. The level of play was fantastic, and hopefully it means we don’t see the NHL remove participation anymore. As a [...]
Happy Monday y’all! That gold medal game sure was a treat! I’m still not a fan of deciding a gold medal game three on three like that, but it ended up working out! Hehe. I will say, it is the end of the Olympics, they can’t let the gold medal game carry into the closing [...]
The 2026 Winter Olympics Men’s Ice Hockey tournament wrapped up yesterday with arguably the greatest hockey game ever played, as Team USA triumphed 2-1 over Team Canada to capture its first Gold Medal since 1980.

The [...]

The Finns were led by Erik Haula, who scored two goals in the game and scored goals in back-to-back games.

The men’s Olympic hockey gold medal matchup will consist of the two teams that many hockey fans both expected and wanted. You’ll need to get up early (8 a.m. ET/5 a.m. PT) on Sunday to watch Canada and the United States face off, as the Olympic closing ceremonies are set to run later that day. [...]
Many a fantasy GM has wondered whether some of their players could do better if only they were given a true chance to shine, while at the same time hoping others, who they might not have expected to thrive to the extent they are, will continue to do so because of their better than anticipated [...]
We’re still a week away from the NHL returning, so to open up today let’s open up with some Olympics recaps of the Men’s Qualification Play-Off round from yesterday (which is a short way to say that the winners make the quarter finals against other group of teams that received a bye).
