But apparently the canadien hockey federation ask the hockey announcer in Pyeongchang, himself a French-Canadian which is kind of weird but whatever, to intentionally mispronounce the names of French-Canadians players names to make them sound like english names. I hope they lose to freaking Germany | ||

Well there's a whole conversation to have about canadian federalism and french-english relation here. But it's probably not the place, so lets just say they tought the guy should say their names the way they would say them. | ||

Really really bad performance in the later half of this game They probably deserved the lost, but saying the goalie carried them to the final is a bit much, I mean they won the semi 5-0, with like 15 shot allowed | ||

Had USA lost on February 24 and USSR won on February 24th the USSR would've taken the gold in 1980. My bad. I stole that from the ESPN stats & info twitter and there was some confusion and corrections in the comments there as well. Looking at that final group (America, SU, Finland, Sweden), I see what you're saying, and where I went wrong with the dates. | ||

the "miracle on ice" story is usually told in a way that leaves the impression USA won the gold over USSR during their game against each other. details often get in the way of good drama  | ||
