2-23-26 Hour 1 - USA BEATS CANADA FOR THE GOLD!/Nuggets are floundering a bit/Canada had every chance to win

0:00 - USA MEN'S HOCKEY WON AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1980! And, they defeated our neighbors to the north to secure the gold. What a moment. What a game. Of course, Jack Hughes was the hero of the game with that SNIPE past Binnington in OT. But how about Connor Hellebuyucky? The guy who was a sieve vs the Avalanche in the playoffs is now an Olympics legend.

21:22 - The Nuggets collapsed vs. a depleted Golden State Warriors team yesterday and couldn't finish down the stretch. What kind of bizarro world are we in now? This Nuggets squad used to be KILLERS in the clutch. The 4th quarter was when they played their best! Now, it's their worst quarter. Finishing games makes the difference in the playoffs. Period. They better figure this out soon.

35:42 - Canada lost to USA despite being the better team yesterday. They were better on paper AND better on the ice! That's how it goes sometimes. The hockey gods giveth, and the hockey gods taketh away.
