Hayley Scamurra with the third Montreal Victoire goal of the day to make it 3-0 USA.
She's not there for her offence, but it's always welcome.

The back and forth between the CBC broadcast switching between Kenzie/Cheryl and Daniella/Becky every commercial break is keeping me on my toes. 😂

I said before the tournament that the Olympics are a great chance for Natálie Mlýnková and Lina Ljungblom to bring some offensive confidence back with them, and yeah...
So far so good.

This Italian team is fun to watch. I don't think they beat Sweden, but they should be the favourites in every other Group B game.
They're also the only team to have had a real centralization... #MilanoCortina2026

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the winner of this Italy-France game is going to have a driver's seat into the Quarterfinals, IMO. #MilanoCortina2026

The game has been officially postponed to February 12 at 8:30am Eastern due to the illness with Team Finland.
Finland plays the United States on Saturday. Canada now opens against Switzerland on Saturday.

Reports from those on the ground, including Hailey Salvian & Claire Hanna that a team representative has said Finland has 13 players quarantined because they are either sick or because of exposure. They are still unsure if they will have enough players to play Canada tonight. #MilanoCortina2026

Only eight skaters and two goaltenders were at Finland’s morning skate as they deal with a virus throughout their roster. They play Canada later today.
L'équipe féminine de Finlande a annulé son entraînement d'hier. Ce midi, seulement huit patineuses et deux gardiennes sur la patinoire. Elles affrontent le Canada à 21h ce soir. On espère parler à l'entraîneur-chef à sa sortie de la patinoire

First 30 seconds was very physical and no penalties. Interesting if the standard has changed slightly despite no checking in IIHF rules. #MilanoCortina2026

On the Swedish pregame show, they said they have a ‘fuck you’ mentality and Maia Nylen-Persson said that Lina Ljungblom is the President of Fuck Yous 😅 #MilanoCortina2026 (s/t @zebhabs.bsky.social)

Newspapers are mostly relevant now if they are extremely and even potentially hyper local.
Otherwise what's the point?
And eliminating sports coverage is eliminating the easiest way to be just that...
