[silk zephyr]

Excellent song choice too

Ahh my chicken tenders are ready mid performance

[sharp skiff]

This is so her I love it!!

[silk zephyr]

It’s such a vibe

Iconique

[lone dove]

the skating cameraman is very, very good at his job

[sharp skiff]

No the way he framed her final spin was sooooo good

[silk zephyr]

Oh god viva la vida

Maybe

The commentators are clapping along

[sharp skiff]

Hahah omg yes he’s still in the panda outfit

[silk zephyr]

“Don’t expect this to be too closely choreographed” aka they threw it together in 5 minutes

Well already better choreographed than I expected from what he said

Oh Kaori

[wary shell]

Lol my iPad died as they hit the circle

[silk zephyr]

DOUBLE BACK FLIP

[sharp skiff]

That was so fun

[silk zephyr]

as in two people not two in a row

I love how they clearly practiced that without the panda suit as the spacing is a little tight around Misha 😂

That was the first time I’ve been able to watch a gala live

[sharp skiff]

That was so fun, made me want to go to the us team tour

[silk zephyr]

And now, dinner

[wary shell]

Popcorn in a baseball nacho helmet.

[silk zephyr]

Kaori with her phone and a flower crown, iconic

[silk zephyr]

Kaori is middle age mum coded taking so many photos and selfies

Oh god

This is so cute

I must admit I feel a bit sorry for Adellia there, she probably doesn’t know everyone as well as everyone else does

Lmfao I’m dead at them turning the main lights on like GET OUT

Amber being like “oh my god is he ok”

[scarlet cedar]

i am delayed watching the gala cos i watched the curling but oh my god, the chicago number is the best thing i’ve ever seen

[wary shell]

I’m glad she had good supporting cast

[scarlet cedar]

Makes you think

[unique wing]

I feel like this is the energy we should be manifesting for F1

Not that F1 doesn’t trend already towards messy

I just think it should continue

[wary shell]

What do you mean it doesn’t

[cosmic jasper]

evil french skaters won gold

[unique wing]

That’s a double negative, I’m saying it does

[wary shell]

IOC president claims to know nothing about anything that is happening or has ever happened anywhere ever, throws her team under the bus in front of the world's media. Cool cool

What do you do here Kirsty

Do they not teach about it in Zimbabwe

[wary shell]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThqprboJ/

What they doing

[pseudo steeple]

I will take this if it leans towards biathlete-style messy in personal life (which might mean Lewis winning I guess) and not past cheating in the sport because that would mean Flávio winning and just no.

[silk zephyr]

He knows what’s important

[granite idol]

He does love the Olympics.

Wayne Gretzky just predicted 5-4 Canada

Two Canadians and an American in the officials that doesn’t seem fair

[last chasm]

ITS TOO EARLY FOR HOCKEY BUT IM UP FOR USA VS CANADA

[silk zephyr]

Good morning misty

So hockey referees are basically preschool teachers

The Canadian ties are adorable

[silk zephyr]

Do we think it’s going to be awkward when they have to go back to playing together next week

[last chasm]

I dont think so.

90% of the players that are in the olympics are going to be on the injured list.

[silk zephyr]

Yeah that’s a fair point I hadn’t thought about that

They need time to recover

Ugh this must actually be on TV coz I’m getting ads

[last chasm]

Im getting play reviews

its probably a tv timeout

[cosmic jasper]

im fine rn sid needs to rest because we’re going on a cup run this year

😁

[last chasm]

Sid got fucked up so bad that he's not playing

[cosmic jasper]

yes i know

i’m saying he’s resting because he knows his priorities

[silk zephyr]

Also very interesting to me that you don’t have a permanent coach for the national team, but I suppose there just isn’t enough matches to make it make sense

[cosmic jasper]

and sid being out means i can root for the us

[last chasm]

I mean there is Four Nations

But still

100% of these players play in the NHL so

[silk zephyr]

I get that but in pretty much every team sport in the UK there is dedicated national team coach separate from club teams

And not just like head coach but the whole coaching team usually

MILO

[pseudo steeple]

I don’t know who it was here who said to watch the sticks not the puck but I’d like to thank them because I’m doing so much better at following it 😆

Apart from when they shoot, then I really have no idea still

[silk zephyr]

I’m learning I should definitely get my eyes tested

[pseudo steeple]

So many adverts I cannot

Wayne is staring through the ice.

[lone dove]

It's always Brady.

[wary shell]

Idea: clear the puck

If he read the international rules he would be so upset to see

Also who injured Macklins face

[silk zephyr]

Good song for this match

[sleek lion]

no literally

if the tkachucks have no haters I am dead

[sleek lion]

Idk but I want to fight them

[wary shell]

They didn’t listen to me and gave up a goal.

I had good ideas.

[sleek lion]

they are boys when do they ever listen

[wary shell]

True

The sharks never listen.

[sleek lion]

No they don't

Let it be known I am willing to tollerate McDavid if and ONLY if he pounds one or both Tkachucks into board or two

[wary shell]

Off the post is so impressive

[sleek lion]

oof that was so close

[wary shell]

Hitting two posts in one shot. Amazing.

Feels like the ghosts don’t want a US win here

[wary shell]

The two teams who don’t know the international rules well.

The refs need to lock them in somewhere to fight.

[sleek lion]

I fear I love him your honor

Elbee dont hate me you know I love our sharks but look at him

[wary shell]

He’s on the Wild now and not the Canucks Ill allow it

[sleek lion]

thank you queen

you know I love mac and will they are my children

[lone dove]

Wait you're saying he brought the ghosts here?

[granite idol]

The second intermission report was brought by turbo tax and that’s way less fun

[sleek lion]

he never travels without them

[wary shell]

Can’t leave home without it!

[sleek lion]

but now they speak italian, and I don't think he does so that just adds a new layer of confused Quinn

[lone dove]

I mean, as in Minnesota

How concerned should I be

[sleek lion]

only slightly

more so if you start also seeing small victorian children

You're fine

[sharp skiff]

Guys I don’t want the Olympics to be over 😭😭😭

[sleek lion]

the paralympics start! so technically its not over

well no not technically

[lone dove]

It's fine, if Victorian ghost children start appearing they'll just end up at a church potluck somehow and have a plate of hotdish

[wary shell]

I missed the bobsled run in my slumber

[sleek lion]

good grief

why tho

what did they gain other than a headline

[lone dove]

I'm surprised they didn't cover for them and double down. The most moral bobsled team in the world.

What a joke.

Kick them out of the Olympics already pls

[sleek lion]

eeewwww brady is the mic'd up player are you kidding

oh interesting they mixed lines on both sides

[sharp skiff]

Omg what a save by hellebuyck

[sleek lion]

a good save and a bit of luck there too but we will take it

[sharp skiff]

I thought that was for sure a goal

[sharp skiff]

No that’s so true, I couldn’t believe the best goalie Canada can find is Jordan binnington??

[sleek lion]

not just anyone can be a goalie.. you have to be that special brand of weird

[wary shell]

And it’s expensive

[sleek lion]

SOO expensive

[wary shell]

I was a goalie in soccer when they forced me away from defensive wing because I needed to try new things.

[lone dove]

I went to grab the cup of coffee I had brewing only to find that I forgot an important detail called "coffee" which was still sitting in the grinder so I made filtered hot water. It can't be that kind of morning

[sleek lion]

I think we still have all my mom's old goalie stuff

MAC you are not the puck there is no need for you to slide into the net

I think we can all agree that canada produces front lines like rent is due but their goalie game needs some attention

[granite idol]

They put me in goal in soccer once when we were up by like 10 and I cried so I am not built for it lol

[sleek lion]

that said bennington is not the worst goalie

[sharp skiff]

Sure but like I think of top 5 goalies in the NHL and he’s certainly not one of them

[sleek lion]

NGL i am shocked that Andersen got a spot on a team with the way he has been playing for the canes

Man who told NBC we wanted to see the tkachuk brothers this much???

[sleek lion]

hes just a baby tho

[wary shell]

They were there during the women’s game too

[sharp skiff]

Idgaf about those people. If you want the brother angle highlight the Hughes brothers???

[wary shell]

He will do anything Sidney says

[sleek lion]

he only defends his smitty's honor

[sleek lion]

I would too

[wary shell]

He imprinted on him like a baby duck

[sleek lion]

Good! Sid protects his children, the last thing we need is a repeat of the Blackhawks terror that Bedard went through and came out looking like a scandal

[granite idol]

I know nothing. Why do we dislike this set of brothers?

[sleek lion]

How bud? how do you miss that

[sharp skiff]

On their nhl teams are annoying agitator players and also don’t have favorable politics and their dad was also an asshole agitator player

Think Brad Marchand but dumber

[sleek lion]

they also recently belittled all female fans for referring to players by their official nicknames that they use for eachother

[pseudo steeple]

Feeling proud that I also had this thought even though I really don’t know much about hockey but I guess it was just that obvious

[sleek lion]

They are the human embodyment of a cybertruck

[granite idol]

When I said I know nothing, that includes this man 😂 (I don’t watch hockey if that wasn’t obvious)

Marchy is known as the rat is an interesting individual

That’s a gif of him licking a person

[sleek lion]

he has some redeeming qualities like being the most girl dad that ever was HOWEVER he also is an agitators

[granite idol]

Is he a toddler?

[sleek lion]

kind of

Now what about the Bosnia and Herzegovina flag

glad I wasn't the only one

[sleek lion]

I got nothing

[silk zephyr]

I love you Lou but no.

Lou you are tempting the hockey gods

them and the baseball gods are extremely dangerous

[wary shell]

I worry for the people of the north east that are getting buried in a blizzard what if they lose power during OT

[sleek lion]

Generators?

[wary shell]

Baseball gods are the worst of them all. I wonder if Quinn can see them.

Might take cell towers too.

[wary shell]

Again we have a men’s soccer team?!

News to me.

[lone dove]

They play pretend while the real countries are fighting.

[silk zephyr]

I’m interested in how the Russians will come back in 4 years, they haven’t been in international competition in so long that it will be interesting, but from what I understand Russians aren’t exactly banned in the NHL

[last chasm]

Oh the Gaudreau jersey.

its Johnny Jr's birthday today

Oh wow that’s heartbreaking

Russians are everywhere in the NHL.

i hope they get his family a medal

Ugh they’re placing fix you in the background

[sleek lion]

Macklin can go back to san jose and demand a raise

[silk zephyr]

Do hockey players get paid a lot?

[wary shell]

Yes and no

[sharp skiff]

Least paid athletes in the men’s major leagues but like they still make money

[wary shell]

Theres a salary cap so if the get paid a lot their teammates don’t

[silk zephyr]

Lmao they’re just like kids at a school show pointing out their family in the stands

Ah similar to English rugby then

okay cool, happy for macklin and his silver medal, gonna return to my only hockey content being heated rivalry ✌🏻 bring on the closing ceremony

[sharp skiff]

I love hockey

[wary shell]

I’ll send you random clips of Macklin when appropriate when he does something funny

Due to time zones youll miss the good stuff

[scarlet cedar]

please do, he’s been officially adopted!!

[silk zephyr]

I genuinely thought the glass was going to break when the whole team went into it

[wary shell]

Valid concern

[silk zephyr]

Do they get good dental insurance?

[wary shell]

Yeah

[sharp skiff]

The men do lol

[wary shell]

I think they have dentist on retainer

[silk zephyr]

The men are too chicken to wear a full face guard

[wary shell]

Is the PWHL doing better with this I want to look

[sharp skiff]

Can’t say the same about women’s hockey, which is why I assume they wear the fishbowls

[wary shell]

There’s old guys in the NHL who are grandfathered in who don’t even wear an eye guard.

[silk zephyr]

Oh my god the medals are originally in just cardboard boxes that’s hilarious

[lone dove]

I mean. Full face guards would be the most sensible thing anyway.

[wary shell]

Younger players are required the eye shield.

[lone dove]

But men want to posture about these things.

[silk zephyr]

I heard they’re bringing in the neck guards too after the panthers death

[wary shell]

Yeah. I think those are required only for goalies.

[cosmic jasper]

they’re working on getting them required

[silk zephyr]

They’re required in the EIHL now I think

Seeing as that is where it happened

They’re wearing them for the Olympics but half of them just look like cunty little chokers

[last chasm]

Oh jeez. the mens and Womens Hockey games ended the same way

[wary shell]

NHL safety gear has this problem where they only require it for people who enter the league after the date.

[last chasm]

OT 2-1 against canada

[silk zephyr]

Lmao Quinn just ran away from an interview to shake hands

Remember when we all thought this rink wouldn’t be built for the Olympics and/or it would be shit

[sharp skiff]

It was destiny!

[sleek lion]

it really depends most entry level contracks are in the hundred thousands and then once you cement yourself then you can start asking for money but they are multi year deals so like seth jarvis of the Carolina hurricanes just renewed for 63 million but its a 7 year deal so when they say these big numbers they are split over a deal

[wary shell]

The money is not guaranteed like baseball right? It’s closer to the other men’s leagues in that regard.

[sleek lion]

no it it is not unless you are a franchise player but even then its not a guarantee

[silk zephyr]

Uh ok that’s vastly different to rugby then

My teams captain has an estimated annual salary of £800k

[sleek lion]

like sidney crosby, widely considered to be one of the best players of all time, is estimated to only make about 3 mil a year

[silk zephyr]

“Only”

[wary shell]

It’s why they have sponsors.

[lone dove]

guys you're missing the Finns there

did they have to go home already

[last chasm]

they figured from the womens hockey to give the bronze out when that game was done

[wary shell]

We have lost FINLAND

[sleek lion]

in the grand scheme of american sports that is considered almost nothing

[last chasm]

Awww look at all the dejected canadians

[wary shell]

Im running around looking for Finland

[last chasm]

my Rat the shortest one there

[silk zephyr]

The salary cap per team in the Gallagher prem (top tier of English rugby) is £6.4 million

[silk zephyr]

They got their medals earlier

[wary shell]

The salaries here are still considered low considering how much money the players make for the owners who are making more and more every day on the players backs.

[lone dove]

I don't like that we should have a proper podium

someone call the Finns and get them back here from their saunas

[sleek lion]

there are too many players

[wary shell]

That’s going to be impossible they need to cold dunk first.

[silk zephyr]

The salary cap for Welsh rugby is £4.5 mil because we are haemorrhaging money lol

Oh they look like grumpy lil boys

[wary shell]

Well this is a national shame this was the only gold they cared about

[last chasm]

Not even a smile

[sleek lion]

the womens team had the same look on their faces

[wary shell]

It wouldn’t be as bad if it was Russia as a second thing.

[silk zephyr]

I get that they’ve just lost but like you’re still second

[sleek lion]

they all look so sad

[wary shell]

Hockey means that much to Canada.

[silk zephyr]

Face like a smacked arse honestly

[wary shell]

Also loskg to the US is the worst case scenario

[last chasm]

Aww Morsey

Binnington too

[silk zephyr]

The goal tenders look like bobble heads

[wary shell]

That’s true

I had a goalie bobblehead. His head broke off during an earthquake.

[last chasm]

THATS MY SHORT RAT KING

[silk zephyr]

Do they pick their number or is it assigned?

[wary shell]

Poor Martin Jones.

[last chasm]

They can pick their numbers

[wary shell]

I think they got to pick.

[last chasm]

most are using their NHL numbers

[silk zephyr]

And they pick that too?

[last chasm]

they will only change if there is a conflict.

yeah

[wary shell]

Yeah.

[sleek lion]

https://puckpedia.com/ here are the projected caps for each team

[silk zephyr]

Sorry rugby has assigned numbers

[last chasm]

I do like the little stuff animals that they get

[sleek lion]

as long as a senior player doesn't already have your number you can pick yours in hockey

[wary shell]

Yea same in baseball. Or the equipment manager chooses for you.

[silk zephyr]

Someone on threads were saying they were stupid and it shouldn’t be a part of the medal ceremony it should be after and I’m sorry but seeing a group of grumpy men get a lil plushie ermine is the highlight of the day

[wary shell]

Tina is here for levity.

[silk zephyr]

So in rugby each number is a position so you can’t pick

Like a hooker is always number 2

[wary shell]

Yeah. NFL has some guidelines for position and numbers.

[silk zephyr]

So then the ref will go “two blue” and you know they’re shouting at the hooker on the blue team it’s very helpful

[silk zephyr]

I thought Tina was the Paralympic one

[last chasm]

YEAH SWAYMAN WAS FIRST BECAUSE HE HAS 1 AND HE IS MY GOALIE

Tina is the Olympic Milo is Para

[silk zephyr]

I’ve been getting them mixed up the whole time

[silk zephyr]

lol did they just say his name “catchak”

[wary shell]

Now two weeks until paralympics.

[lone dove]

I'm excited but also excited for the break. I'm so behind on other things to watch

[silk zephyr]

Stop chewing gum on the podium

[silk zephyr]

“Jack Hughes” incredible announcing in the stadium

[wary shell]

Macklin has to go back to cupcakes with Will to cheer him up.

[scarlet cedar]

aww hes just sad will isnt there

is will not olympic level

[wary shell]

That’s why he attached himself to Sidney Crosby. Will wasn’t there.

[sharp skiff]

An insane performance by Hellebuyck

[wary shell]

Not for the US team it seemed.

[sleek lion]

no do not make me cry again holding up Johnny's jersey

[last chasm]

Im already crying

[sleek lion]

welp too late im crying

[sharp skiff]

I think this is the happiest I’ve ever seen the Hughes brothers

[silk zephyr]

This would’ve been funnier in 2x

[last chasm]

everyone singing

[sleek lion]

he was not called by the team

[last chasm]

The only time i will be happy for this

[scarlet cedar]

US gk might be good but his helmet is the most atrocious thing i’ve ever seen

[wary shell]

Star spangled banner (crazy frog remix)

[scarlet cedar]

RUDE

[sleek lion]

I KNOW

[wary shell]

A large mouth bass on the helmet ate the pucks

[sleek lion]

trust me the heated rivalry we could have had if will was playing

[wary shell]

They took it from us

[last chasm]

Helle's goalie mask was for the Four Nations event and he just reused it

[silk zephyr]

Eco friendly Queen

[scarlet cedar]

still ugly

[silk zephyr]

This is like herding cats

[sleek lion]

and I shall never forgive them

[sharp skiff]

Okay so when do they kiss?

Oh my god

[silk zephyr]

You can see the broken tooth from a mile away

[wary shell]

The little girl is mogging them all

[silk zephyr]

And it cuts to an interview with the Canadian

Interesting that that dude is still the captain even though he didn’t play

[wary shell]

The Canadian are you referencing Sidney Crosby

[silk zephyr]

Yes

I assume

[sharp skiff]

That was really sweet the picture with johnnys kids

[wary shell]

He would be captain as a ghost

[wary shell]

It’s 2140 and he’s still captain

[wary shell]

It’s your boy @cosmic jasper

[silk zephyr]

But like surely you need a captain like playing

[wary shell]

Yeah the alternates were there for sure

[sharp skiff]

There was, mcdavid wore the c in the game

[wary shell]

Sidney was dressed though

[silk zephyr]

Ah

[sharp skiff]

But their not gonna take Sid’s c away cause he wasn’t playing

[last chasm]

My Shaylas

[silk zephyr]

He’s saying he’ll see about 2030

[last chasm]

All the Canadian fans just LEFT

[wary shell]

That’s a threat

A threat and a promise.

Like Hilary Knight.

[last chasm]

Man this monologue about dreams and sports was good.

[scarlet cedar]

lou this is how captaincy works in every single sport 😂

[silk zephyr]

No in rugby they you get a captain for each match

[scarlet cedar]

yeah but they have club captains

[silk zephyr]

And in other sports you have to swap the armband over when the captain goes off

[wary shell]

Canadians hate 3v3 hockey and so do I but I’m never going to agree with that man on anything

[sharp skiff]

Oh shut the fuck up evander

[silk zephyr]

Yeah but he wouldn’t still be in uniform with a C on it for a match he was at but wasn’t playing was more my point

[last chasm]

FUCK OFF KANE

[sharp skiff]

It’s better than a shoot out determining it

[silk zephyr]

Idk a shoot out is more fair that first to score wins

Hour and 25 mins until the closing ceremony

[cosmic jasper]

so the thing is even with the choker look i guess it will covers the right arteries

Oh yeah 100% it’s better than nothing it just makes me giggle

[scarlet cedar]

i dont know who evander is but i agree with him

[sharp skiff]

All I heard when the us women last won the gold was how unfair it was for a gold medal game to be determined by a shoot out so idk, can’t please everyone lol

Personally I find the three on three till someone scores much more compelling

[scarlet cedar]

they should do normal overtime like most other sports imo? do another 10 or 20 minutes and if that still ends a draw, then go into a shoot out

might just be my football head speaking

[wary shell]

A trash can

But i agree with him once

That’s it

Never again.

[last chasm]

Why does the Germany Bobsled look like they work for DHL

[wary shell]

They do, they have packages to deliver

i’m learning:

we like: macklin, the ghost brothers
we dont like: evander, the maga brothers

[wary shell]

Good, good.

You’re ready for the exam

[sharp skiff]

The ghost brothers lol

[wary shell]

Jack doesn’t even see ghosts

[last chasm]

I mean only one brother is haunted

[sharp skiff]

I’m calling them that now forever

[unique wing]

I am dramatically behind and this was probably said, but my NHL follower friends said that he is the goalie for the NHL team that the team Canada coach is the coach of, so that was they assumption about how he got this gig

[unique wing]

Oh nooooo

[sharp skiff]

Mmmm yeah that makes more sense now, so coopers pride cost Canada the gold medal, got it

Okay I need to go study now, this was very fun, love this discord

If any of you see me here the rest of the day please yell at me

[lone dove]

It's OK I went back during the intermission and put coffee in my coffee.

If they don’t use “time to say goodbye” in the closing ceremony I will cry

But I will also cry if they use it

I wonder what the French will bring

TNT are using it for a montage of the games and I’m already getting emotional

Are they all in ponchos

[wary shell]

RG3 what the hell are you doing here

[silk zephyr]

Is it raining

[wary shell]

It’s splash mountain

[silk zephyr]

Oh now this is iconic already

“Fans of opera will not be disappointed tonight” wonderful

tbh i think he’s hit the nail on the head

[cosmic jasper]

it was so good i watched a lot of it last night but got too tired

[silk zephyr]

Wait maybe it is going to be splash mountain

[cosmic jasper]

and the replay leaves peacock tonight so i had to lock in

How dare you go past madama butterfly

As a string player I don’t think that orchestra are actually playing

As in like the salsa?

[silk zephyr]

[cosmic jasper]

athletes aren’t in yet

[silk zephyr]

I think he’s actually banned from Italy for that

Those athletes have no idea what’s going on

[lone dove]

one of them was on her phone

girl you're on global TV in an Olympics closing ceremony look alive

[pseudo steeple]

This is making me want to go and see opera or live music in Italy which I guess is partly the point

[silk zephyr]

I feel sorry for anyone watching this that doesn’t know opera because TNT are not explaining anything

And no surtitles for the opera

[pseudo steeple]

Yeah I was like “the assumed level of opera knowledge is quite high in this commentary”

[silk zephyr]

For example, who are these people

[lone dove]

they're regular everyday people, not famous

[silk zephyr]

Maybe they assume anyone who can afford TNT would know 😂😂😂

[lone dove]

"faces of Italy"

[silk zephyr]

Oh they’re just explaining it for us

That’s cool, people from the communities carrying the flag

A special entrance for the host countries medalists I feel like that’s not normal?

Ooh Italian anthem time. Maybe this will not be the last time we hear it this year but one can never count on that.

[silk zephyr]

I want a cape

Beautiful choir

I like that they’re keeping this multi venue thing going

[cosmic jasper]

my mom: it’s usually faster that’s not how the ferrari mechanics sound

[pseudo steeple]

This was also my thought. I was like “this is lacking some passion” 😆

[silk zephyr]

I am a bit confused as to why they’ve gone to Verona for the closing

Like you already had 5 venues

Oh I suppose because it’s a Roman venue

And ancient history

I guess

[pseudo steeple]

Yeah I guess one of those “we have this gorgeous historic venue to show off”

[granite idol]

I believe they also said it’s where the Paralympics are starting (?) but I also could be wrong my child’s throwing a fit so it’s hard to hear the commentators

[cosmic jasper]

it’s a bouncy anthem and it lacked bounce

ah the Ennio Morricone music

I just wonder if it’s accessible 😬

[wary shell]

Oh god breaking is coming back to the next summer games isn’t it that’s what this is announcing

[wary shell]

It will not be in LA they have other sports to add

Raygun safe but never forgotten.

I wish we'd be seeing roller dance. Go recruit some people from Venice Beach.

idk what could be confusing about a clown on a trampoline representing the athletes' training journeys 😜

There is so much edm and DJs this olympics

[silk zephyr]

It is very much European music vibes

But it would’ve been better with Italians

Or even a French

I mean their mics are on

Was that it?

Ah no more opera, wonderful

[last chasm]

who is this?

[silk zephyr]

Or not

He’s an opera singer

Apparently

[last chasm]

With tatts all over his face?

[silk zephyr]

Achille Lauro

He is not an opera singer despite what the comms said

He is the second San Marino Eurovision Song Contest contestant of the evening

That was it

Anticlimactic

NBC is showing an Ad for LA 2028.

We’re getting a notice from the arena that the ceremony is over

I dont like this version of Californa Dreaming

Every time I see the LA Memorial Coliseum I question why they had a nascar “race” inside it

Just doing donuts the whole time

Bye everyone see you in two weeks for Paralympics and I guess in the Figure Skating channel in four weeks for Worlds

I just want the record to show whenever they talk about her it’s DOCTOR Tenley Albright because after she used figured skating to overcome polio she became a surgeon at Harvard.

I cringe at the butchering of "skikjøring" into "skijoring" for English speakers but still. Should broomball and getting pulled on skis behind a horse be in the games? Obviously yes 💯

[wary shell]

They’re going away from demonstration style sports int he winter games and focusing on adding new full events instead, sadly.

[lone dove]

Ice fishing no. Nobody wants to watch that.

[wary shell]

Maybe the USA hockey goalie.

What do I do now until Paralympics

[unique wing]

Watch preseason testing back? That’s what I’m gonna do anyway

[silk zephyr]

I don’t have a way to do that

[unique wing]

Oh man right

I forgot y’all don’t get F1TV

[silk zephyr]

Nope, and they’ve also banned earbuds in the office

[cosmic jasper]

that’s inhumane

[silk zephyr]

I am allowed because I have an accommodation for it

But it’s bullshit

[last pulsar]

Late stage capitalism is wilding.

[silk zephyr]

Apparently we’re not doing enough work because we have one ear bud on

[last pulsar]

I literally don’t even have the words to describe how stupid that logic is.

Drive to Survive drops on Friday

[silk zephyr]

I haven’t watched it in about 3 seasons lol

Oh wow longer than that I didn’t realise how many seasons there had been

[last chasm]

Oh lol.

I watched like the first half of last season and that was about it.

[silk zephyr]

I wait for you guys to send the funny clips

[scarlet cedar]

my job has done this too because they think wearing headphones deters collaboration

Sigh again

[scarlet cedar]

yeah that’s the point, i want to be left alone

[cosmic jasper]

@scarlet cedar they’re off the list honey

their goddamn mother has done so much for women’s hockey in the us and this is how they behave. ellen you should get their asses

[scarlet cedar]

the list is back to being macklin celebrini positive only

[silk zephyr]

Just them all laughing along to Trump is nauseating

[scarlet cedar]

(for now, i’m sure 🙄)

honestly fuck men

[cosmic jasper]

he follows kai trump so he’s on thin thin ice

[silk zephyr]

One of them goes to say “absolutely” about inviting the women and the rest start cackling

[cosmic jasper]

i like to enjoy hockey players as a concept

not a reality

because they suck but so do most sports

[silk zephyr]

Also like I work in a law firm what are we collaborating on

[wary shell]

As I said they make baseball players look leftist.

Didn’t know that was possible.

are hockey players good people? does the stripper love me?

[scarlet cedar]

imagine saying that about the team that did the exact same thing you did

but first hehehe

[pseudo steeple]

I mean laughing with trump is bad enough but laughing at the concept of inviting the women’s team is just the tin lid on it

Kinda glad this clip is out there tbh though

[cosmic jasper]

damn double homicide

[cosmic jasper]

whoever leaked it thank you

[pseudo steeple]

I’ve seen people say that “oh they’re only laughing cause clearly the women won’t actually go” which is a) not true imo and b) that is not exactly better

[cosmic jasper]

i mean first off why is our fbi director partying in the locker room

bro go do your job

[wary shell]

Better. Much better.

[wary shell]

He’s can only find people who turn themselves in

Women’s team differential was33-2.

[pseudo steeple]

Then again whoever it was was probably proud of it/thought the women’s team “joke” was funny

[wary shell]

Weaponize their own stupidity again at them.

Theyre lucky she can’t skate

[wary shell]

The PWHL is a fascinating place.

[unique wing]

I was about to say that

Like yes, that's the point 😂 💀

[silk zephyr]

Idk she did some content with the figure skating team the other day so maybe she’s learning

[scarlet cedar]

like 90% of all sports people honestly

[cosmic jasper]

yepppp

[scarlet cedar]

first tiktok on my fyp: “the hughes brothers are just the tkachuk brothers with better pr and pride tape”

😭😭

[unique wing]

Ooh now we can go back to the age-old argument of whether performative allyship is better than outright aggression

I maintain that the pride tape means something, if we’re grading people on being shitty. I don’t care what’s in their hearts if they’re going to pretend to be allies, basically

[lone dove]

I'm sure it does make a difference in fans who aren't straight dudes feeling comfortable and welcome attending games

even if the dudes are terrible if you hear what they really think

[pseudo steeple]

I kinda distinguish here between people and organisations

I agree that I generally prefer people pretending to be allies in like the pride tape sense of that, even if they’re not inside

[unique wing]

Yeah, organizations are sus in all instances
