Canada about to fall apart?

Most of the "the other side is SO TRIGGERED" stuff is made up, especially the stuff about people being unhappy Team USA won. If Biden spent taxpayer money sending the FBI Director to a hockey game without evidence any progress is being made on the Epstein files or Nancy Guthrie, MAGA would never shut up about it

3.5M files released, the lowest murder rate in 125 years and 60% of the FBI’s Top 10 arrested under Kash. As much as a national story Guthrie is, I can celebrate the thousands of kids his team has found. If Biden…if Biden and liberal politicians didn’t suck they may have those moments too.

I haven’t seen anyone (here, at least) express unhappiness with the Team USA victory.

I have witnessed what I believe to be a somewhat muted response from many.

Do you believe the Team USA victory celebration has been muted/reserved/diminished?

I saw you mention that, but I really haven't. I ran around my house yelling and I've seen a lot of people making jokes about Canada

There was jubilant celebration in the RF. A few abstained, which is certainly their prerogative, but I found it odd.

I was with you. I don’t think I’ve lept off my couch and fist pumped like that since the Bama game in ‘22.

Waiting for this thread to turn into a USA women’s hockey trashing fest after they refused to go to the White House.

The Carter and Biden admins alone wreck whatever nonsense you pulled from A.I....which for some reason you still think other people are gonna read your responses from a flawed language model. I can pull my phone from my pocket and without even opening it just hold down the power button for 2secs and verbally ask it any question I can think up and get the same A.I. responses you post here all the time. Then it verbally asks me follow up questions to see if I want to research further. Everyone here has the same access to Language Model generated BS that you have...which is frequently wrong and always has a disclaimer at the bottom of every response stating its likely to be inaccurate. I dont know why you copy and paste those responses here. Its just weird man. I actually lived through the Carter, Clinton, Obama x2, and Biden admins. I paid for gas and groceries, worked full time and side jobs, paid bills and had investments during all of those except Carters term. My Dad was an officer in USAF during Carters term with good credit....and his mortgage rate in San Antonio was 18% interest fixed. Not a credit card for college kids. His mortgage. Some statistic about GDP or the stock market from that term cannot make Carters term a good economy. Bidens is the exact same. A good economy is impossible with the highest inflation in our nation's history. Some BS you pull from A.I. spewing Liberal nonsense it read from the internet doesn't undo the facts of lived experience.

I stand corrected. Facts DON'T matter.

Thank you!

Yes, in a sports conversation when patriotism and masculinity is the subject of negativity by the left. We are reminded which side you chose over the last few years.

It's women's hockey, nobody cares.

The **USA Olympic women's ice hockey team** achieved significant popularity in the United States during the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, particularly with their gold medal win. The women's gold medal game against Canada (a 2-1 overtime victory on February 19, 2026) set a record as the most-watched women's hockey game ever in the US. It averaged **5.3 million viewers** across USA Network and Peacock, peaking at **7.7 million viewers** during overtime.

This performance contributed to strong overall Olympic coverage that day, with combined platforms averaging 26.7 million viewers for the afternoon and primetime windows (including figure skating and replays), marking one of the highest weekday audiences in recent Winter Games history.

In comparison, the **USA men's ice hockey team** (which also won gold against Canada in overtime on February 22, 2026) drew higher viewership in specific games. For example:
- A men's quarterfinal win over Sweden averaged **6.9 million viewers** on NBC and Peacock, peaking at **8.9 million**—noted as the most-watched Olympic men's hockey game since the 2010 US-Canada final.
- Earlier men's group stage games averaged around **4.3 million viewers** across USA Network and Peacock, the best since 2002.

The men's gold medal game viewership figures were pending full release as of February 23, 2026, but given patterns (e.g., higher averages for key men's games and historical benchmarks like the 2010 men's final at 27.6 million), men's hockey generally attracts larger audiences in the US. This aligns with broader trends where men's Olympic hockey (especially high-stakes US-Canada matchups) often outperforms women's in raw numbers, though the women's 2026 final showed exceptional growth and record-setting appeal for the women's side.

Overall, while both teams generated massive excitement—especially with the rare double gold sweep over Canada—the men's team edged out in per-game viewership highs based on available data, but the women's achievement broke records in its category and boosted women's hockey visibility significantly. Factors like broadcast timing (women's final in afternoon slots vs. varying men's times) and platform distribution (NBC vs. cable/streaming) also influence direct comparisons. Both contributed to the 2026 Games being a ratings success for NBC, up sharply from prior Olympics.

I'd watch womens hockey and be interested if a relative was playing. It's kinda like soccer, unless you're invested it's just not a fun game to watch.
