Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
Fluke. Most of the goals (and the only ones team canada can score now) come from major defensive breakdowns, 2 on 1s, shorthanded breakaways from glaring defensive errors from team USA that could be readily fixed by watching tape
I am most troubled and disturbed by "coach" Laura Schuler's post-game comments/excuses each time they lose to team USA. Among some gems are "this is not the level we have played in the past", "we have played so much better in practice", "we were better in the past". isn't this so troubling to hear? Disturbing, actually, considering their past record is equally garbage against USA. i have a horrible feeling that she is trying to save her job more than getting the women to win.
the players i believe are part of this cancer that is the hot garbage of team canada women's national team program. ever since Wickenheiser and Ouellette left the team, the culture now has dissolved into some snobby image-obsessed shell complete with cringe-y hashtags, selfie sticks, and gimmicky social media fluff pieces. this was all borne from their flukey Sochi win, which was the flukiest win in all of women's team sports history. When wickenheiser was captain, sure, people hated her in the dressing room but still respected her. now, the culture looks like this:

Poulin should not be captain IMO.
Schuler should have gone long ago
with all the massive PP gifts they got from the game yesterday, and still getting outshot by team USA, i wonder what excuse they have now. Maybe, "player x forgot her selfie stick at home".
