I think the Bronze Medal Game had its own full bingo of "2 in 90 seconds".

I just finished watching Canada vs. Czechia. What a kick in the...I mean "what a disappointing result."

Canada played like crap in the first period and I thought I was watching a replay of the game against Sweden. But the second and third periods were much better. Late goal by Czechia...bad luck. I thought Canada was the better team but sometimes the winner takes nothing. 

I guess I will cheer for Team USA now. I have a Swedish friend here in Japan and if Sweden wins I will never hear the end of it. 

 I'm guessing you are ok after all the doings over there yesterday?

 Yes, I'm fine. The earthquake was about 400 km away so I only felt a little shaking. I didn't even know there had been one until I started getting messages asking if I was okay.

"Of course I'm okay! Why would I not be?"

For a team that takes 329 minutes to score (LAT), scoring twice in ~6 minutes is a "twice in 90 seconds" dab.

Feels like CAN is staying in this more than in previous years (haven't had a meltdown of undisciplined penalties), but it's not looking good.

 Not looking good at all. Sometimes you can just tell when it's not going to go. It's like trying to start a campfire with wet firewood. 

 sweden's D is air tight.

I love that will all the names that aren't spelled the way you'd expect based on how they sound…Geekie is **exactly** how you'd expect it to be spelled.

 I'm checking with my (retired) source to see if there's a good source for that info.

AYKM save by Canada's goalie. Ridiculous. 

I pulled a hammy just watching it.

My Christmas gift to you, Russell.

 

I typed FINvsGER in another context and couldn't figure out why it looked funny, then I realized those abbreviations together made a real word.

This schedule would be so much better if I lived on the east coast.
